Vintage Hamilton Khaki Quartz Watch For Women Model 870980

Description: Hamilton Watch Company — acquired by Switzerland’s Swatch Group in 1974, its manufacturing having already relocated to Switzerland in 1969 — and the brand’s revival of its historically significant military timekeeper as not just one model but an entire collection under the “Khaki” umbrella. Hamilton was still making watches for military units in the 1980s and ‘90s but in the post-Vietnam era the company had begun marketing its military icon to an eager audience of civilians. Some of the earliest “modern” Hamilton Khaki watches were co-branded with the outdoorsy retailers who sold them, household names like Brookstone, Orvis, and L.L. Bean (above). This was also the period in which the “Khaki” logo began appearing on the dials, establishing the collection that was to follow. Hamilton now produces an entire range of Khaki watches, including the Navy Scuba, a sporty divers’ watch that takes cues from the rugged timepieces Hamilton produced for military divers in the 1950s, and the Khaki Navy Aviation, a similarly engineered model for pilots. It is the original “Field” version of the Khaki, however, that sits at the core of the collection, available in various case materials and bracelet and strap iterations and with a range of movements from quartz to manual winding mechanical to self-winding mechanical. Below, we’ll explore the various versions. This is a rare vintage watch from Hamilton Khaki model 870980. This is a piece of history for all the watch collectors. The condition of case is good and some light signs of wear. This watch is not currently working since I never had a chance to get it serviced or have someone put new batteries. Please check the pictures provided before buying for the cosmetics of the actual watch. Thank you!
