Hamilton introduces four new incredible styles for the Khaki Navy Frogman Auto, the precision instrument for underwater explorers.
The Khaki collections reflects Hamilton’s history of working with the military and how the watchmaker has smoothly transitioned into making watches that are robust, rugged and resilient enough for the wild outdoors. The Khaki Navy Frogman is one of Hamilton’s most technically capable maritime-ready watches. This is ultra-modern adventure watch has a distinguished past. Named after the fearless US Navy Frogmen who wore the original during World War II, the new models maintain that brave dedication to exploring the unknown, with contemporized style and technology.
With ocean explorers in mind, Hamilton leads with a stainless steel case measuring a grand 46mm on the wrist, extending around the winding crown and housing it securely. Functionality is key with this timepiece. The black, clear-cut dial is enhanced with Super-LumiNova® for low-light legibility when diving, and for additional contrast, orange has been used to highlight the nickeled minute hand and tip of the seconds hand.
For a stealthier, more modern look, feast your eyes on the blacked-out Khaki Navy Frogman. The case is coated in black PVD and is teamed with a grey bezel and dial markings.
Within the Khaki Navy Frogman beats the H-10 automatic movement. Hamilton delivers a durable timepiece whereby the mechanics of the movement allow for extreme precision and reliability. Its exceptional balance spring made from Nivachron™ delivers enhanced performance. The cutting-edge alloy provides resistance to shocks, temperature variations and magnetic fields, adding crucial utility to a watch built to withstand harsh environments. What’s more, the H-10 offers an extended power reserve of 80 hours! Now here’s a timepiece engineered for accuracy, stability and endurance.
The intrepid new look for the Khaki Navy Frogman Auto extends through to the band. The waved rubber strap (available in khaki or black) pays homage to the unparalleled power of the sea. It’s the perfect wrist companion for those who feel completely at home in the deep, whether at sea (the new Khaki Navy Frogman Auto is water resistant to 30 bar / 300 metres) or exploring nature’s other wonders.
There are four styles in the collection to choose from, featuring a black dial, black or grey bezel, rubber strap or stainless steel bracelet and a stainless steel case with the option of black PVD coating. All are protected with sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating.
Hamilton’s new Khaki Navy Frogman Auto timepieces are guaranteed to make a splash in the style stakes and outshine when it comes to performance. They’re not just built for underwater adventures; they’re built to last.
Prices start from $1195 USD, going up to $1295 USD for the Black PVD Coated version.

I got to try one of the new Hamilton Froggies today
I was in an AD when the Hamilton south of England sales manager was in and we were introduced and had a great chat about previous issues, current line-up etc He shared about a couple new products being released later this year that look totally awesome. I commented on his watch and he took it off, and said "try it on" -and was genuinely interested in my opinions. He impressed me as much as the watch.
And he was wearing the new Frog. It is a lovely watch - it looked great - felt quality - large, very clear dial, superb action of the substantial crown; decent positive but firm bezel (kinda early GP Seahawk/Tissot Seastar/Yachtmaster/IWC GSTAquatimer) vibe, but I liked the polished raised accents)
Lovely large grey-black dial has a nice textured finish. The slightly domed crystal is a beaut. The hands that look similar to the previous model Titanium Frog actually look better on this model. I was not sure about the unnecessary bump on the left hand side of the case - I have a Citizen 300m diver that does this as does the Formex Reef. Presumably to balance the case aesthetic against the large crown/guard on the opposite case side. The crown guard works - and the action unscrewing is smooth but robust. I thought it decent on the black rubber but the strap aint the best - I'd probably buy watch on bracelet - try on ISOFrane.

Really? I have never read this or seen a photo of a stealth cover with the Mil divers I know:
Hamilton's 1950's US Navy Buships
British Navy/SBS Mil Sub, or Mil CWC 300 or Tudor Milsub,
IDF's Shayetet's Kontiki Super
Marine Nationale's 1970's Tudor or 1980's TAG or Beuchat
Russian Special forces Zlatoust diver
Italian military Navy Panerai
Great looking watch. Love the hour hand. Love the size. Love the dial, the seconds hand, the hour markers. But that crown guard...... hideous. Looks uncomfortable and unnecessary.

Yep - the depth of the watch (which wasnt overly thick) nevertheless meant the crown guard was positioned a few mil above the skin and I didnt 'feel' it. Interestingly the sales manager said it reflected a design from the 1950's and they had examples of Navy Divers soldering small wire frames around the crown as added protection. And this was a production version of a DIY addition that the guys thought served real purpose
Just tried it on at an AD. It looks impressive on the wrist. I like the whole look with the crown guard and 46mm case!
But not enough to buy it, though.
