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.

Sternglas Merion

The value proposition of the Sternglas Merion is consistently praised by reviewers. Reviewers disagree on whether the Sternglas Merion is the best dive watch under €500.
