Hamilton x Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4: Captain Price’s Khaki Field Mechanical

Hamilton continues to explore the world of immersive storytelling with a new collaboration with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. After a first partnership in 2025, the American-born watchmaker with Swiss roots returns to the world of video games with a fresh take on its Khaki Field Mechanical.

With this new creation, Hamilton does more than stamp a franchise’s identity onto one of its models. The brand has imagined a watch built directly into the world of Modern Warfare 4, since it is worn by Captain Price, the series’ iconic character.

With its 38 mm black case, heavily textured dial, khaki green fabric strap and engraved caseback, this new Khaki Field Mechanical embraces a functional look drawn directly from contemporary tactical gear.

Behind this collaboration lies a dialogue between two stories: that of Hamilton military watches and that of a franchise that has become a cornerstone of the video game world.

Hamilton, from the screen to video games

Hamilton’s relationship with fictional worlds did not begin with this collaboration. The brand says its watches have appeared in more than 500 films and TV productions, long helping to lend realism to the characters and stories they are associated with.

This expertise in visual storytelling now extends into video games.

With Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, Hamilton returns to territory where the timepiece plays a direct part in a character’s identity. The watch becomes part of the narrative, just like the gear and accessories that define his surroundings.

The new Khaki Field Mechanical is worn by Captain Price in the game. Its design was conceived to fit naturally into this world while staying true to the military DNA of the Khaki Field collection.

A Khaki Field Mechanical built for action

The silhouette of this new Khaki Field Mechanical rests on a 38 mm stainless steel case with a black PVD coating.

This dark finish instantly reinforces its tactical character. It visually absorbs reflections and gives the case a sober, functional appearance, in keeping with the world of Modern Warfare 4.

At 9.5 mm thick with a 20 mm lug width, this configuration retains the classic proportions of a field watch.

The engraved caseback carries the collaboration’s identity further, while the khaki green fabric strap completes the watch’s military silhouette.

The whole deliberately evokes an instrument designed to accompany its wearer in situations where legibility, robustness and functionality come first.

A dial drawn directly from Modern Warfare 4

The black dial is one of the most distinctive features of this edition.

Its heavily grained surface gives the watch an almost raw texture. It reinforces its utilitarian character while creating a visual depth that contrasts with the dark surfaces of the case.

The typography of the “4”, emblematic of Modern Warfare 4, is built into the dial’s graphic identity. Touches of color also nod to a key visual element of the game’s universe.

The numerals and indices are treated with Super-LumiNova Grade X2, as are the hour and minute hands.

In the dark, this luminescent material keeps up the primary function of a field watch: allowing a quick, clear reading of the time when lighting conditions become difficult.

Captain Price’s sound wave

The caseback is one of the details most directly tied to the game.

It bears Modern Warfare’s iconic sound wave motif, used here as a graphic reference to Captain Price’s call sign: “Bravo Six, going dark.”

This engraving creates a discreet yet instantly recognizable link with the character.

Rather than piling decorative elements onto the dial, Hamilton reserves the caseback as a space to express the world of Modern Warfare 4 more directly.

The watch can therefore be worn as a particularly understated Khaki Field Mechanical, while revealing a signature unique to the collaboration on its reverse.

In the lineage of Hamilton military watches

While this creation was born in the world of Call of Duty, it also draws on a very real history: that of Hamilton military watches.

The new Khaki Field Mechanical takes particular inspiration from the “General Service” watches the brand supplied to the British Army.

This historical reference gives the collaboration greater depth. Captain Price is a character whose identity is closely bound to the military world. The watch designed for him therefore sits naturally within this watchmaking tradition.

Here Hamilton carries certain codes of its historic field watches over into a contemporary creation designed for a fictional character.

The result keeps a functional, legible and pared-back aesthetic while incorporating graphic elements specific to Modern Warfare 4.

The H-50 caliber, 80 hours of power reserve

Behind this military look beats the H-50 hand-wound mechanical caliber.

This movement offers an 80-hour power reserve, a feature particularly well suited to a watch built around simplicity and functionality.

The H-50 is also fitted with a Nivachron™ hairspring, designed to help the movement resist magnetic interference.

The choice of a hand-wound movement is central to the identity of the Khaki Field Mechanical. It recalls the instrument origins of these watches and fosters a more direct relationship between wearers and their timepiece.

Each winding becomes a simple gesture that accompanies the watch’s daily use.

Built for everyday wear

The sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating protects the dial while enhancing legibility.

Water resistance is rated at 5 bar, or 50 meters. The khaki green fabric strap is fitted with a black PVD pin buckle, ensuring visual continuity with the case finish.

The result is a coherent watch, where every component contributes to the edition’s visual language.

From the black case to the grainy texture of the dial, by way of the khaki green strap and the graphic details inspired by Modern Warfare, Hamilton set out to create a piece that seems to belong naturally to Captain Price’s kit.

When watchmaking becomes part of the story

With this new collaboration, Hamilton pursues an approach that goes beyond simple merchandise.

The brand draws on its military watchmaking heritage to build an object capable of finding its place in a fictional world. The choice of the Khaki Field Mechanical is particularly consistent with this approach: its architecture, manual movement and field watch aesthetic are directly in tune with the character’s identity.

The collaboration thus illustrates a different way of thinking about a watch’s presence in a work of entertainment.

It is no longer merely an accessory meant to appear on screen. It becomes part of the character and helps build his identity.

A new chapter for the Khaki Field Mechanical

With this 38 mm Khaki Field Mechanical, Hamilton brings its military heritage into dialogue with one of the most recognizable universes in contemporary video gaming.

The black PVD case, textured dial, graphic references to Modern Warfare 4, engraved caseback and khaki green strap give the watch an identity instantly associated with Captain Price’s world.

But behind these references is a genuine Hamilton watch: a 38 mm case, an H-50 hand-wound mechanical movement, 80 hours of power reserve, a Nivachron™ hairspring, a sapphire crystal and 50 meters of water resistance.

Ultimately, it is a creation that reflects Hamilton’s desire to carry its story into new narrative territory while keeping what has long defined its field watches: a functional aesthetic, legible mechanics and a close bond between the watch and the character who wears it.
