🔎 Case Notes

The Hamilton Khaki Field “Murph” 38mm Ref. H70405730 is one of the most recognizable modern field watches — a piece that blends cinematic history with clean, everyday design.

Made famous by its appearance in the film Interstellar, the “Murph” has become a favorite among collectors for its straightforward, legible design and meaningful backstory. The watch features a White dial with vintage-style Arabic numerals, cathedral-style hands, and a clean layout that reflects Hamilton’s long-standing field watch heritage.

The 38mm case size brings the Murph into a highly wearable format, making it an excellent option for daily wear. Paired with a black leather strap, it leans slightly more refined than traditional military field watches while still maintaining its tool-watch roots.

This example is brand new in box, complete with all original accessories including box, book, and warranty card. The card is undated, meaning the warranty is expected to begin upon registration with Hamilton — an added benefit for the next owner.
