Hamilton Khaki Field - 9823 - Automatic - Late 1990s - 40mm Hamilton Khaki Field reference 9823 from the late 1990s. Stainless steel 40mm case with brushed finish and signed crown, fitted with the Hamilton-signed automatic ETA 2892-A2 caliber, 21 jewels Swiss. Black dial with white Arabic numerals on the outer 12-hour track, 24-hour military scale on the inner track, central seconds and date at 3 o'clock. Exhibition caseback rated 5 ATM. The Khaki line is Hamilton's continuation of its 20th-century military supplier heritage — Hamilton was the official US Forces wristwatch supplier in WWII and continued through the Vietnam era. The 9823 reference belongs to the late-1990s civilian field-watch revival: a compact, legible, daily-wearable automatic in a clean field format, powered by the ETA 2892-A2, one of the most respected thin automatic calibers in modern Swiss watchmaking. Field watches in this configuration remain a benchmark for legibility and daily-wear versatility. - Brand: Hamilton - Model & reference: Khaki Field 9823 - Movement: Automatic, ETA 2892-A2, 21 jewels Swiss - Case material: Stainless steel, brushed finish - Case diameter: 40mm excluding crown - Lug width: 20mm - Dial: Black with white Arabic numerals (12h outer track, 24h inner track) - Functions: Hours, minutes, central seconds, date - Crystal: Mineral - Caseback: Display, signed Hamilton 9823 with rotor visible - Water resistance: 5 ATM as marked - Strap: Black Italian leather (Bandini) with contrast stitching, 20mm The watch is in very good condition overall.
