Time isn’t just ticking — it’s tactical. Hamilton has teamed up with Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 to deploy a new special edition of their legendary Khaki Field Automatic. And just like your favorite operator, Axel Vermaak, you can gear up with the exact same watch he’s wearing in-game.

This isn’t just merch. It’s a piece of kit built for the battlefield — digital and real.

The Mission Brief

Hamilton isn’t a stranger to storytelling. Their watches have played starring roles in Interstellar, Oppenheimer, Dune, and more. But now they’re pushing into the digital frontlines. After testing the waters with Far Cry 6 and Death Stranding 2, they’ve gone full boots-on-the-ground with Call of Duty.

Why? Because gaming is the new frontline of culture. Millions of players, billions in revenue, and an army of fans who live and breathe immersion. For Hamilton, it’s not about product placement. It’s about making their watches part of the story.

The Watch: Specs With Bite

The Khaki Field Auto Call of Duty Special Edition stays true to the rugged DNA of Hamilton’s field line but adds some covert-ops details. Here’s your intel:

Case: 38 mm stainless steel, slim enough to move under gear, tough enough for everyday wear.

Dial: Matte black, white numerals, 24-hour inner track, and a date window — fast, functional, mission-ready.

Movement: H-10 automatic with an 80-hour power reserve. Translation: you could stash it for a weekend op and it’ll still be ticking on Monday.

Water Resistance: 100 m / 10 bar. Whether it’s a sudden downpour or a swim to extraction, you’re covered.

Strap: Military-green NATO, tough and tactical.

Caseback: Engraved with the Call of Duty insignia. That’s your proof of service.

Edition: Limited to 5,000 pieces worldwide.

Price: Around £790

In-Game Loadout

This isn’t a “slap the logo on it” collab. In Black Ops 7, operator Axel Vermaak wears this exact watch. Same look, same proportions. When you’re running through missions, you’ll see it on his wrist. When you log off, it can be on yours.

That seamless crossover is what makes this collab feel authentic. It’s not marketing. It’s mission design.

Tactical Advantages (and Weak Spots)

Strengths:

• Looks clean — not gaudy branding all over the dial. The Call of Duty nod is stealthy, on the caseback.
• Rock-solid specs: 80-hour reserve, automatic movement, water resistance.
• Collectible without being unwearable. It’s a legit daily watch.
• Limited run means bragging rights in the squad.

Weak Spots:

• It’s mostly a standard Khaki Field Auto with different clothes (caseback, strap, packaging).
• For non-gamers, it may feel like paying a premium for an engraving.
• With 5,000 units, it’s limited — but not “ghost rare.” Hardcore collectors might want something scarcer.

Final Extraction

The Hamilton x Call of Duty Khaki Field Auto is more than a watch. It’s a bridge between worlds — a piece of kit you can actually wear that ties into the stories you play. For gamers, it’s a flex. For watch lovers, it’s another chapter in Hamilton’s long line of pop culture collabs.

Deployment date: November 14, 2025. Same day Black Ops 7 hits. If you want one, better have your credit card locked and loaded.

This drop isn’t about telling time. It’s about syncing up with the fight.
