Note: The 38mm Hamilton Khaki Field has a 20mm lug width, while the larger 42mm version uses 22mm straps. Be sure to choose the right size when shopping for replacement straps.
Hamilton Khaki ✕ Sailcloth Strap
This look is perfect for bringing out the military DNA of this watch. Built to take a beating, this sailcloth strap pairs perfectly with the Khaki’s rugged case and clean dial. This strap is fully waterproof, durable, and adds just enough texture to make things interesting without overwhelming the watch’s classic design.
Best for: Weekends, hiking, everyday wear.
Hamilton Khaki ✕ Smooth Rubber CTS Strap
This is another waterproof and sweatproof strap, making it a favorite for adventures and everyday wear. The smooth CTS strap can be cut to fit almost any wrist perfectly, which also makes it a go-to choice for smaller wrists that find our standard FKM rubber straps too bulky. This look gives the Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic a sleek, modern and sporty edge.
Best for: Travel, workouts, hot weather.
Hamilton Khaki ✕ Stitched Heritage Strap
The vintage-style leather and stitching of the Stitched Heritage Strap give the Hamilton Khaki a retro field watch feel while being equally comfortable to wear. This look just works—especially with fall layers or on laid-back days.
Best for: Casual wear, cooler weather, classic styling.
Hamilton Khaki ✕ Fitted Stainless Steel Oyster Bracelet
At the end of the day, nothing beats a fitted bracelet. This oyster-style bracelet adds weight, presence, and versatility—this is a look that can easily be dressed up or down. And if you originally bought your Khaki on the leather band, or maybe lost some links over the years, this is the perfect way to get that OEM look on a budget.
Best for: Daily wear, office, dinners out.
Whether you own the Hamilton Khaki Field Automatic, Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical, or really any field watch, the real magic is in how easily a strap monster or GADA watch like this transforms with a quick strap swap.
