Here’s a first for a company that’s spent decades sticking its watches into movies: this one was built for a film it can never actually appear in. That’s the twist on the Khaki Field Auto The Odyssey Limited Edition, Hamilton’s latest team-up with Christopher Nolan tied to his upcoming epic The Odyssey (in theaters July 17).
Since the film is set in the Bronze Age, it’s pretty unlikely that anybody was wearing a wristwatch. For us in the modern age, though, the new watch’s 42mm case is bronze (it’ll develop its own patina over time). The black dial looks like Odysseus’s helmet; there are a pair of sword-shaped hands in bronze, and the 12 o’clock index is modeled on a rivet from the scabbard. You get the idea. Meanwhile, the titanium case back is engraved with the helmet and Nolan’s signature.
Inside, you’ve got Hamilton’s H-10 automatic movement, with an 80-hour power reserve and 100 meters of water resistance. The watch is limited to 2,112 pieces, so for interested parties, you might want to get a move on.
A partnership that goes back over a decade
This is far from the first time Hamilton and Nolan have worked together; the brand’s watches have shown up in Nolan’s films repeatedly over the years.
Interstellar in 2014, Tenet in 2020, and Oppenheimer in 2023 all had some Hamilton in them as part of the company’s broader run of more than 500 film and television appearances. They’ve even had some video game collabs, like their 2025 collab piece with Death Stranding 2.
In those earlier collaborations, the watches were real timepieces worn on screen, sometimes custom-built to fit a character or a story beat. Here, there’s no on-screen watch at all, so maybe just use your imagination.
Hamilton itself is in an interesting spot right now. Founded in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, in 1892, it’s been Swiss-owned for decades and now sits under the Swatch Group umbrella, pairing its American heritage with Swiss movements and manufacturing.
