Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical Power Reserve

The Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical Power Reserve is noted for its 40mm sandblasted case, filling a size gap in the Khaki Field line. It features a new H-23 hand-wound movement with an 80-hour power reserve and a functional power reserve indicator at 9 o'clock. The case is 11.95mm thick, which is described as noticeably thicker than other Khaki Field models, and its proportions differ from classic manual-wind versions. The movement includes a slipping spring to resynchronize the power reserve indicator after shocks. Overall, reviewers appreciate the addition of the power reserve complication to the hand-wound model, though one reviewer noted a preference for a contrasting color on the indicator.

From video reviewers

The power reserve indicator at 9 o'clock is a functional addition to the classic design. The 40mm case size and 100m water resistance are noted strengths. Reviewers did not reach a consensus on weaknesses.

Oak & Oscar The Humboldt Seven Year

Oak & Oscar The Humboldt Seven Year owners note the hand-machined brass bezel and hand-finished dial. One owner reports the Sellita SW300 movement timed at -5 seconds per day, and another owner observed minor imperfections on the dial and crystal, along with a small ding on a lug. On balance, owners appreciate the unique dial and bezel finishing, though some minor cosmetic flaws have been noted.
