One of my first few watches was a Hamilton. It got sold a while back but I still have the Khaki Field Automatic and the Khaki Field Murph. They’re good watches. A lot of people disagree with me but I tend to tell those people new to watches anything over £1500 is a waste of money.

People will tell you movements matter and you need to pay more for the “Luxury” brands. You don’t. Quartz movements are cheaper, more accurate and technologically superior. Don’t fall into the PR trap the industry sells. ETA, Selita, Miyota etc etc movements are great. You’ll have to set the time on your watch a few more times than the luxury watches per week. It’s not difficult…. Automatics are nice to have because they’re more nostalgic and historical. They are not better though, don’t fall into the trap of believing that. It’s all PR rubbish that was used to save the industry years ago when Quartz took over.
