Strap Showcase Episode 1: Want to make your Hamilton Khaki Mechanical more unique? This is where you will want to be...
Replacement watch straps. If there is one thing we’re pretty hot on here at WatchGecko is watch straps. We’ve been online retailing straps since 2010 and almost every day since we receive emails, messages, calls and questions asking us for ‘the best straps for my watch’. This is where our strap showcases come into play.
We want to create a go-to place for you all to check out what our straps really look like in person, on the wrist fitted to your favourite watch. We explain the thought process behind why certain straps work over other options available, things to consider when looking for a strap and the best colour options.
The Hamilton Khaki Mechanical
This is a popular field watch which means it will lend itself to more practical, durable styled straps. The watch is also more old school in its design so it will naturally suit straps that are similar. ‘American spirit and Swiss precision’ is the message behind Hamilton’s creations and this is clear with the whole line up of the Hamilton Khaki Field line up.
The use of vintage lume on the Hamilton means we can create some pretty cool combos as we can use contrasting stitching to pick that colour out. Oh, and we shouldn’t forget that the watch comes with drilled lugs making its ideal for strap changes.
The military green look
To start with, if you like the general look of the watch on the standard green NATO but want a 2 piece strap, then take a look at the Cordura Premium in Green and Yellow. This strap really has that military look as with its green colour, its a tough Cordura material so you can wear it anywhere and also really breathable. One of the key reasons this combo works so well is the way the stitching colour on the strap is the same as the vintage lume of the hands and indices.
Sticking with green straps, we have the Winstone MKII Vintage Leather in Vintage Green and the Vintage Soft Top Grain Leather in Forest Green. Both of these leather straps stick with the traditional military theme however with the use of soft quality leather on both, it means they're more suited to everyday wrist time where the watch isn't pushed to its limits as much.
