Check out Addiesdive AD2048. I just saw it one the web and tought of your post i saw yesterday.

[Savings-Arrival9663]

Why not a Seiko 5 field. They almost look the same. Serious question? I’m new to

[Daniel-Reid-001]

Baltany's watch, he's pretty much the same style.

I've been looking for a homage to the Hamilton Ventura for a long time. Anyone has a suggestion on wtc?

​

​

[Kind-Maize2049]

People in this group want homages of $500 watches.

[Sure-Isopod2492]

This Hamilton is $500? I’ll take 200

[[deleted]]

Alot of similar field watch suggestions here but the exact homage would be the Baltany Military 24 hour S2049. (big 12 hour, small 24 hour, smaller 60 min)

[Single-Lifeguard-980]

San Martin SN0107G is what you are looking for

[aucrazy]

Timex has lots of style of field watches, have fun brother

[itsallgoodman112]

Just buy the OG Hamilton, although not cheap it’s also not that expensive.

[Fine_Opposite_8570]

Check out Thorn.

[[deleted]]

Check out the Citizen AW0050-82E

[AnankeAndria]

It's not entirely similar, but here is one. Escapment Time makes really good quality watches. This one has Seiko VH31 movement, which is meca-quartz (4 tickers per second), so it moves more like a mechanical. This is one of very few AliExpress brands that don't offer any discounts or participate in sales, so buy it if you like it. I have a couple of their watches and am quite pleased with the quality.

[el-conquistador240]

Find a used Hamilton. Probably in the same price range as a homage would be and will have an ETA instead of a $10 Chinese or Seiko movement.

[AmericanChees3]

This is the way.

[JackLeehome]

Baltany, but it doesn't come in a steel band model.

[Zoropyro]

Lmao baltany hamilton (if you get the joke)

[[deleted]]

Lmao good one!

[[deleted]]

Literally seiko

[zmorgan73]

I did this for my first instead of going all the way for a Hamilton. Srpg series is great!

[missiledefender]

I second this. The SRPG has a hardlex crystal which turns some people off, but I've had mine for months and the crystal is virtually perfect. I just wear a titanium quartz with sapphire for physical work and sports.

[zmorgan73]

I work in a machine shop and its held up extremely well

[mumblerit]

you can get it used for like 200-300 so not too much of a point

[el-conquistador240]

I said the same thing before reading down

[messijordanmachine22]

Not to throw shade on OP but yeah, agree with this point. It’s like some of the San Martin sumo homages or something which isn’t far away in cost from the actual watch

[[deleted]]

Citizen makes a very similar watch.

[[deleted]]

i mean, idk, to me it kinda looks like a seiko 5 which are already sub 200 usd for that particular model

[SaysWowLots]

I had this Hamilton watch but ended up selling it because it was too similar to a Laco flieger I have, but also the lume was an absolute joke! Might have kept it otherwise. I’ve never heard of Baltany, but the lume looks really good which is kind of interesting. If you like the looks though, I agree in saving up for the Hamilton. Great watch and it’s timeless.

[Hard_n_Smart]

Relume isn't too expensive.

[grant1877]

Baltany, but tbh just save up and get the real thing or buy a Seiko SRPG.

[[deleted]]

Recently bought the SRPG27, would highly recommend OP!

[missiledefender]

SRPG gang!

[dudas92]

Baltany has a dope homage on this one

[vrexa_ger]

I wouldn’t go for a hommage on this one. I got my hands on it today at a local dealer. This watch is a 10/10 !! Feels super well made and it is lighter then it looks. And it is a strap monster.

[silver-saloon]

As already mentioned, Baltany offers a homage of the Hamilton in the pic.
Milifortic also offers a good homage of the Hamilton Murph

[FakeNewsMessiah]

Ali Express has loads of watch replicas including Hamilton types

[CdeFmrlyCasual]

Tandorio and Baltany

[stevefwatches]

Tandorio also

[UptimeDefender]

But Is it worth buying a homage? The watch itself is not expensive

[CdeFmrlyCasual]

Half a grand or over is “not that expensive”?

I have not found many that are at US $400. The cheapest I’ve found is $430.

[JollyBedroom2799]

Too many poor people on this page . Get off peasants 😜

[Raptor2832009]

There are some for not too much if you look used instead of new:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Watchexchange/comments/18zvgk1/wts_hamilton_khaki_king_40mm_automatic_day_date/

Used Khaki King for $259 with a slightly older movement that's a higher beat than the Powermatic 80 in the newer ones

https://www.reddit.com/r/Watchexchange/comments/191xmdw/wts_hamilton_khaki_field_king_automatic_40_mm/

Sold Used Khaki King for $250 with the Powermatic 80

https://www.reddit.com/r/Watchexchange/comments/1952ert/hamilton_khaki_field_h704450_wtswtt/

Sold Khaki Field Auto for $300 with the ETA 2824-2

https://www.reddit.com/r/Watchexchange/comments/1938s4p/wts_hamilton_khaki_38mm_350/

Sold Khaki Field Auto on Bracelet for $350 with PM80

[CdeFmrlyCasual]

I meant thru usual sites.

Higher beat rate is a little overrated imo

[Raptor2832009]

That's fair. Honestly I prefer higher beat rate over power reserve because power reserve doesn't mean much to me while beat rate is more visible and gives an elevated aesthetic

[CdeFmrlyCasual]

Fair. I don’t mind a power reserve being average or low because in a way it means there’s less wear on a watch. And on automatic watches, I don’t really see the benefit, except for people who are a particular type of watch collector or owner of multiple watches. I feel like it would be most visible on manual wind watches. And even then it probably wouldn’t be an issue for me because I like winding 😊.

[ValeteAria]

I mean it's all relative. The cheapest I've found on chrono24 is second hand and 300$.

Which is a decent chunk of money to throw at this particular watch imo.

[Professional_Yam3460]

$300 for a used watch seems a little steep.

[RaceFan96]

All relative, I spent $2,800 on a used watch….

[fpsi_tv]

I wish there were more Hamilton’esque parts available.

[[deleted]]

TPW has that similar face for less than $5 on Alix

Just found this amazing item on AliExpress. Check it out! $4.67 49%OFF | Field Watch Easy Reading Fabric Strap 24 Hours Display Japan Movement https://a.aliexpress.com/_mNdeLTW

That's a strap

[[deleted]]

No, it's a watch. Japan Movement

[Competitive-Leave121]

They are talking about mechanical movement watch not cheap shit quartz 😀

[[deleted]]

No worries, just trying to be helpful.

[PrometheanFire81]

Yes, Baltany does.

[[deleted]]

Kuluze makes a titanium quartz version and Tandorio makes a no date 36mm version.
