Hamilton's Khaki Field watch for Call of Duty is worn by Captain Price

Hamilton has introduced the Khaki Field Mechanical 38mm x Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4, a special edition worn in-game by Captain Price, the SAS veteran and Task Force 141 commander at the center of the new title. The watch is priced at EUR 750 and marks Hamilton's second Call of Duty collaboration in as many years.

The design leans dark and tactical: a sandblasted black PVD steel case, a heavily grained black dial, and a khaki green textile strap closed with a black PVD pin buckle. At 4 o'clock, the numeral borrows the exact font used in the Modern Warfare 4 logo, with matching yellow accents.

The case keeps the compact Khaki Field Mechanical's proportions, at 38mm across and 9.5mm thick. The engraved caseback carries the Modern Warfare soundwave graphic, a detail immediately recognisable to players of the franchise and the clearest signal that this is a crossover piece rather than a standard military reissue.

What is inside the case

Hamilton has fitted the hand-wound H-50 movement, derived from the ETA 2801, the manual-winding sibling of the automatic 2824. It runs at 21,600 vibrations per hour and carries the extended 80-hour power reserve familiar from Hamilton's Powermatic 80 line, with a Nivachron balance spring for added resistance to magnetic fields.

Hamilton points to genuine military lineage behind the styling, tracing the watch back to the General Service timepieces it supplied to the British armed forces. That heritage lines up with Captain Price's own backstory, a soldier who served with the Special Air Service before rising to lead Task Force 141 in the game's fiction.

Why Hamilton keeps returning to gaming

This is not Hamilton's first pass at Call of Duty. The Khaki Field Mechanical 38mm x Modern Warfare 4 follows last year's Khaki Field Auto 38mm made for Call of Duty Black Ops 7, and the brand has also produced tie-ins with Far Cry 6 and Resident Evil Requiem in recent years.

Hamilton is the Swatch Group name we track for its Khaki Field range and its published retail pricing across the catalog, and it has long leaned on Hollywood tie-ins to sell that same field-watch story. Gaming crossovers are now a recurring part of how the brand markets that line, alongside its film work.

Video-game dials are no longer a novelty across the wider watch industry. Retro characters like Donkey Kong and Mario have already found their way onto watch faces, Seiko partnered with Street Fighter V, and Omega recently built a Seamaster Diver 300M Chronograph around the James Bond title 007 First Light.

We track Seiko as a value proposition in Japanese watchmaking and Omega as a step above entry-level Swiss pricing, with an Omega Prestige starting around $2,500. Against that spread, Hamilton's Call of Duty piece lands at the accessible end of the same collaboration trend now running through the category.

How the price compares to Hamilton's own range

We have previously priced the standard Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical at around $625 when weighing it against Rolex Explorer alternatives, positioning it as one of the more affordable no-date, anti-magnetic field watches available new. The Modern Warfare 4 edition, at EUR 750, is priced above that baseline for the crossover treatment.

That same comparison placed the Tudor Ranger near $4,025 and the Longines Spirit near $2,100 as alternatives to the Rolex Explorer, underlining how far below both the Hamilton Khaki Field family typically prices even before a licensed collaboration adds its premium.

Elsewhere in our coverage of watches jewelry, we have found the Tudor Black Bay near $5,000 and the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M near $5,900 as the strongest rivals to the Rolex Submariner, a reminder of how much further up the field-watch and dive-watch categories run once a Swiss name replaces a quartz-era workhorse movement.

The military reference point Hamilton cites, the British General Service watch, is also the design lineage that keeps turning up across our reviews of affordable field watches, including pieces we have tested for everyday wear rather than for a game tie-in.

Hamilton has not indicated how many pieces of the Khaki Field Mechanical 38mm x Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 will be produced, nor given a release date beyond the announcement itself. Further details, including retailer availability, are expected through Hamilton's own site as the launch rolls out.
