Some watches are made to be worn, while others are made to tell a story. The Hamilton Khaki Field Murph fits both bills. It's more than just a precise and reliable timepiece: it's a cultural icon, a bridge between the worlds of watchmaking and cinema, capable of evoking emotions and memories with every glance. It all began in 2014, when Christopher Nolan decided to make the watch a key element of Interstellar , his science fiction masterpiece. The Murph, custom-made for the film, wasn't just a prop: it played a central narrative role, tied to the relationship between protagonist Cooper and his daughter Murphy. For watch and film enthusiasts, the accessory immediately became a symbol, an emotional heirloom, so much so that for years the community clamored to purchase it.
Hamilton didn't remain deaf. Five years later, in 2019, the Murph officially debuted on the market in the 42 mm version. It was an immediate success, one of those rare occasions when a watch manages to win over both the most discerning collectors and an audience who, perhaps, had never considered purchasing a mechanical timepiece before. In 2022, a new chapter in the story arrived: the 38 mm version. More compact, more balanced on the wrist, but with the same decisive character. A format that made the Murph even more accessible and versatile, without betraying its original spirit.
Today, Hamilton enriches the collection with two new variations that expand its style possibilities. The first is an ode to light: a clean, luminous white dial paired with a black leather strap. The contrast is bold and elegant, yet with an adventurous touch that evokes the feeling of gazing at the starry sky from a spaceship heading into the unknown. The second is a tribute to the military heritage of the Khaki Field line: a black dial and stainless steel bracelet for a solid, compact look, capable of effortlessly tackling a business meeting or a day in the mountains.
Behind its cinematic allure, the Murph hides a truly remarkable engineering soul. The H-10 automatic movement guarantees an exceptional 80-hour power reserve, allowing you to leave the watch on your bedside table for three days and still find it running perfectly. The 38 mm stainless steel case, 11.10 mm thick, is protected by sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment that ensures readability even in bright sunlight. Water resistance to 100 meters adds a level of versatility that makes it ready for any adventure, in the city or in the wild.
The Khaki Field Murph is designed for those who don't see time as a simple succession of minutes and hours, but as an opportunity for experiences. It's for those who appreciate detail, for those who recognize the pleasure of winding a mechanical movement and feeling its regular ticking under their wrist. It's for those who appreciate the possibility of wearing the same watch to an elegant event and on a hike in the woods. Its aesthetic speaks of exploration, of stories to be lived, of goals to be achieved. It's a constant reminder to look ahead, to think big, just like the Interstellar characters who made it famous.
With these new versions, Hamilton not only meets enthusiasts' expectations, but also demonstrates its ability to evolve without betraying its identity. The Murph is no longer just "the watch from Interstellar ": it is an icon of contemporary watchmaking, a symbol of style, endurance, and pioneering spirit. And as the hands tick silently, the Murph reminds us that time, just like space, is a territory waiting to be explored.
