Hamilton Khaki Navy Scuba Automatic GMT 43mm Mens Watch Blue

Ref. H82535140

The Khaki Navy Scuba has always been built around the idea of a diver that functions in the real world beyond the water, and this GMT iteration is the most direct expression of that. A red GMT hand against the grained fumé blue dial, paired with a ceramic 24-hour bezel, lets the wearer track a second zone without touching the time-setting crown — logical for anyone moving between ports or time zones with any regularity. At 13.9mm thick, the case is noticeably slimmer than its 300m rating might lead you to expect; most watches with that depth rating carry considerably more height, and this one sits closer to the wrist and disappears under a cuff more readily than its 43mm width suggests it will. The dial reads differently depending on the light — the fumé finish shifts from a pale grained blue in daylight to something considerably darker and more uniform at an angle — and the Super-LumiNova coverage is heavy enough that reviewers have described it as torch-like underwater. The H-14 calibre runs a Nivachron balance spring, which resists magnetic interference without requiring a Faraday cage around the movement, and its 80-hour power reserve means the watch survives a long weekend off the wrist without resetting. That reserve comes partly from running at 3 Hz rather than the more common 4 Hz, which is a worthwhile trade given the gains in autonomy.
