Apparently Hamilton Khaki Field Watches are a "thing" right now.
(I have another model for sale on the site too).

I only know that because I wear one and it gets a lot of attention.
Recently, I was in an elevator in a fancy hotel in Los Angeles, and a stylish hipster noticed it and was practically drooling over it.
Ask my friend Mike - he was there!
(I admit, I did feel pretty cool when that happened)

This style is from the 1980's and is marked 921980 on the back of the case.
It was purchased in Japan, then serviced and cleaned this past summer.
The watch is in excellent shape: clean case, dial and crystal.
I have placed a new brown leather NATO strap.

He keeps great time; a full winding should last roughly 40 hours.
But I suggest giving it a fresh wind-up every morning.

I have always had a thing for old watches. There is something about the character of an old watch that defines "Old School Cool" for me.

I think it's a lot cooler to discover a beautiful old watch than to just walk into a store and buy a new one. 
It actually inspires me to see them faithfully keep time year after year.
And I love imagining the life a watch had before it came into my hands. 
It's beautiful to know that some things never go out of style.

When I was growing up, my dad took great care of his two boys but he never splurged on anything for himself. 
But the one thing that he loved was a great watch.
I must have inherited that love from him.

Since Blade + Blue is really a 'Thank-You' letter to my father for all that he taught us about being men, I couldn't be more excited and proud to share this collection of beautiful found watches with you.
