It’s been 10 years since Interstellar first graced the silver screen, but it’s left an indelible mark on the cinematic landscape. While the movie’s themes of love and loss, and the capacity to endure in the face of unfathomable odds, are themes that will always resonate, the movie captured our imagination nearly as much for its unforgettable landscapes, cinematography, and, of course, watches. The Hamilton Khaki Field Murph has become not just a piece of cinematic history, but is now one of the most popular watches in Hamilton’s Khaki line of field watches. Hamilton is now expanding the 38mm Khaki Field Murph range with a new white-dial option and a stainless steel bracelet.
Hamilton’s watches have been worn on the wrists of countless stars over the decades, with over 500 film and television appearances. From Hamilton’s cinematic debut in 1932’s Shanghai Express to Elvis Presley’s iconic Ventura he wore in Blue Hawaii, Hamilton watches have served as an indelible part of the storytelling in some of our most beloved film franchises, including Indiana Jones and Men in Black.
When deciding what watches the lead characters, like Matthew McConaughey’s Cooper and Jessica Chastain’s Murph, would wear in Interstellar, it’s no surprise that the team would turn to Hamilton to create watches that would not only fit the characters but also play a crucial role in the movie itself (without giving away any spoilers). In particular, the Murph — named in honor of Cgastain’s character — had movie fans and watch enthusiasts clamoring for Hamilton to release it to the public. In 2019, the brand did just that, releasing the 42mm Hamilton Khaki Field Murph.
Given the immediate, and not unexpected, success of the Murph, Hamilton released a sized-down 38mm version in 2022. The new size proved extremely popular and versatile for all genders and wrist sizes. Originally available only with a black dial and black strap, consistent with the film version of the watch, the white dial and bracelet options add a completely new dimension to the Murph.
The crisp white dial, when paired with the black leather strap, provides a beautiful contrast between dark and light — an appropriate pairing for Interstellar’s celestial backdrop. Like the black-dialed version, this new white dial retains soft, creamy hues on the hands and markers, giving the watch a timeless quality.
While the black leather strap undoubtedly gives the Hamilton Khaki Field Murph an air of sophistication and a vintage appeal, there’s a good reason for the ubiquity and popularity of stainless steel bracelets. The bracelet adds more than just a new aesthetic to the watch; it also adds durability and versatility, easily allowing the watch to be worn in any situation.
The Hamilton Khaki Field Murph is powered by Hamilton’s H-10 automatic movement. Beating at 21.6kbph, the H-10 movement features 25 jewels and features an outstanding 80-hour power reserve.
Whether you’re a cinephile, a died-in-the-wool watch enthusiast, or simply looking for a timeless watch that is as ready for outdoor adventures as outer space, the Hamilton Khaki Field Murph now has two new versions that will take you there. The white-dialed Murph is available for $895 USD, while the bracelet version is priced at $1,075 USD. To learn more about the Hamilton Khaki Field Murph, please visit the brand’s website.
