My favorite stealthy watches: Hamilton Khaki Field.
Wearing a high end watch is a very dangerous thing these days in certain areas of my city and neighborhoods I need to move through so I usually wear watches which I think would pass unnoticed on my wrist.
I’ve been wearing my Khaki Field PVD black with much satisfaction during last few years. It proved to a be very precise time keeper and its manual wind 80 hours power reserve very reliable.
And no less important I love its “military” vintage looks!
I recently added the bronze case/titanium case back version which I find very charming but I’m fearing its case looks like gold and would attract watch snatchers on the streets. (Though I always try to wear my watches under a long sleeve).
Have a nice and safe day wearing your favorite watches my dear friends!!

Super cool duo
I’ve been checking them out lately myself, but was curious about quality and reliability since I read some concerns about how precise the movement is, but yours seem to be on target. The bronze looks super cool on you Abel. Enjoy
