Hamilton Khaki Navy Scuba GMT Bronze: A Living Legend for Modern Explorers
The Hamilton Khaki Navy Scuba Auto GMT Bronze (H82565930) is a rugged yet sophisticated tool watch that honors Hamilton’s military heritage. By combining the warmth of marine-grade bronze with the high-tech utility of a GMT complication, Hamilton has created a timepiece that is as functional as it is aesthetic—a watch that physically changes and develops a unique patina alongside its wearer’s journey.
Case Architecture: Bronze and Titanium Fusion
The defining characteristic of the H82565930 is its 43mm case crafted from solid CuSn8 bronze. This material reacts to environmental conditions to develop a unique oxide layer over time. To ensure comfort and durability, the watch features a titanium case back, which is hypoallergenic and lightweight.
- Evolving Patina: The brushed bronze surface will transition from a bright copper tone to a dark, earthy character, making every watch unique.
- Black Ceramic Bezel: The unidirectional rotating bezel features a high-tech ceramic insert that is virtually scratch-proof and maintains its deep black color in saltwater.
- Screw-Down Crown: Flanked by protective guards, the screw-down crown ensures a robust 300-meter (30 bar) water resistance rating.
High-Visibility Grained Dial & GMT Display
The dial is a textured, grained black surface designed to minimize reflections and maximize legibility under the sapphire crystal.
- True GMT Function: A vibrant red GMT hand tracks a second time zone against the 24-hour scale, while the independent local hour hand allows for easy adjustments during travel.
- Luminescence: Hands and applied indices are filled with light green Super-LumiNova®, ensuring the time is unmissable even in deep-sea environments.
- Date Display: A color-matched date window at 3 o’clock preserves the tactical, monochromatic look of the dial.
The Power of the H-14 Automatic Movement
At the heart of the H82565930 is the Swiss-made H-14 caliber. This automatic movement is engineered for the modern adventurer who demands precision and longevity.
- 80-Hour Power Reserve: Provides over three days of autonomy, allowing the watch to keep running even if not worn over a weekend.
- Nivachron™ Balance Spring: A titanium-based alloy that offers superior resistance to magnetic fields and temperature changes.
- 24-Hour Complication: Dedicated gearing for the second time zone hand ensures precise synchronization.
Strap Engineering: Black & Gold NATO
Complementing the warm bronze case is a high-durability textile NATO strap. This black strap features woven golden-gold stripes that accentuate the bronze hardware. The pin buckle and keepers are finished in black PVD to match the ceramic bezel, providing a secure and comfortable fit for any wrist size.
