When you think of Hamilton, one thing comes to mind: the Khaki Field. It’s been the cornerstone of the brand for years. With its military roots and clear sense of purpose, the Khaki Field has always prioritised function — from its clean dial and easy readability to its durable case. It has been respected ever since, and you can wear it without a second thought. More importantly, it’s the kind of watch that offers mechanical credibility without draining your savings, a tradition that continues today.
Moving forward today, Hamilton is taking its familiar formula in a new direction. Instead of simply refining the classic, the brand is entering the digital space through a collaboration with Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. To mark the launch of the upcoming game, Hamilton has introduced a special Khaki Field Auto designed for the game’s characters. It’s an interesting move—one that connects Hamilton’s real-world military roots to a modern, digital battlefield. In a way, it feels like a natural evolution if you think about it. The Khaki Field was designed for action, and now it’s finding its place on a whole new battlefield.
Let’s take a closer look.

Right way, you’ll notice the new Hamilton Khaki Field Auto Call of Duty Special Edition looks very similar to the standard 38mm model — and that’s a good thing for maintaining the same proportions and preserving that classic field-watch feel on the wrist. The stainless steel case is paired with a black dial that appears slightly darker to evoke a Black Ops setting, and with Super-LumiNova on the hands, it stays easy to read in low light — fitting both the watch’s military heritage and the game’s atmosphere.
The khaki-green NATO strap grounds Hamilton’s tactical aesthetic. It’s simple, practical, and comfortable — exactly what you’d expect from the Khaki line. Inside, the watch features the H-10 automatic movement, providing straightforward three-hand timekeeping, a date window, and an impressive 80-hour power reserve. Flip it over, and you’ll see a custom Call of Duty engraving on the caseback, giving this piece a reimagined classic feel and more detail — a genuine crossover between Hamilton’s field heritage and a modern digital battlefield.
Black Ops 7 is poised to be one of the biggest gaming franchises this year, developed by Treyarch and Raven Software. The story is set in 2036, amid ongoing conflict and rising tensions worldwide. David Mason returns to lead an elite JSOC team on a covert mission in the Mediterranean city of Avalon. It’s a serious, high-pressure environment, where a straightforward, military-inspired watch like the Khaki Field fits well.
The Hamilton Khaki Field Auto appears on the wrist of lead character Axel Vermaak. This isn’t Hamilton’s first venture into the gaming world, having previously collaborated on the Far Cry Khaki Field Titanium Auto in 2021 and more recently released a special American Classic Boulton edition linked to Hideo Kojima’s Death Stranding 2. Still, this newest partnership feels like its boldest move yet, placing the Khaki Field front and centre in one of the largest gaming franchises globally.
“As the watchmaker of game makers, Hamilton brings its legacy of design, technical precision and creative collaboration to the forefront of interactive storytelling,” the brand said in a press release. “By working closely with game developers, the brand continues to blur the line between physical craftsmanship and digital experience, infusing the world of gaming with real-world detail and narrative impact.”
Hamilton states that the Khaki Field Auto has been fully integrated into the game, and from what we know, it’s more than just a brief appearance. The watch is designed to feel like it naturally belongs on Axel Vermaak’s wrist. It becomes part of the character’s appearance and story, making the crossover feel more authentic. Rather than inserting a real-world brand into a digital space, it seems like a natural fit, a field watch stepping into a different kind of battlefield.
The Khaki Field Auto Call of Duty Special Edition launches on 11 November 2025 and will be available through Hamilton boutiques and selected authorised retailers. It is limited to 5,000 pieces worldwide and priced at USD $975, only a small step up from the regular 38mm Khaki Field Auto. For a limited collaboration tied to one of gaming’s biggest franchises, the watch features a khaki green NATO strap and arrives in special Black Ops 7 packaging, offering a stylish finish for fans of the franchise.
