Will do this Guy, as I have a couple of books I have been wanting for a while, but time has been a factor.
Thanks buddy
I have both except my Cooper is on a great black leather strap. I love both of them!! Great review!
I am glad they made it 42mm, it is hard to find a stylish field watch that looks good on my giant wrist, they already offer plenty of great 36-40 field watch options for folks with smaller wrists.
I have the Murph watch and I can say it's one of my best purchases ever. Super readable and legible, great power reserve, grea finishing and lume. This watch will increase in price and will be collectible for sure.
Amirreza Rezaie dude stop! I’m drooling 28800 VPH right now
Agreed, I have it too. So happy with it.
No it wont lol they're everywhere?
How much did it cost you ?
Wearing my Khaki Pilot "Cooper" while watching. Had it for just over a year and am still impressed with the quality. The dial size definitely pushes to the edge of the case and makes it present quite large. I prefer 38-40mm sports watches for sure, so I know this is the largest watch I will ever have for my 6.5" wrist. Also love the movie connection. Thanks, Guy.
Ya the dial does give the impression of more wrist presence but it’s still quite wearable.
I have the Cooper and in my opinion it's the best value in terms of fit/finish design proposition under $600. I absolutely love it's uniqueness and quality. I'm about to step up to the next level and purchase the in house Tudor black bay steel blue bezel. Gray market at 3,000 it's the best proposition in the above mentioned category.
I know you received much flack for the Sub/Tudor opinion piece and I understand your position but also understand those who had an issue with some of the opinions. Id love to see you do an updated review with the in house variant and something similar in design in its price category of the sub $5,000 range.
Excellent work on all your videos!
Thanks for watching and for the feedback. I’d like to see and review a newer Tudor, haven’t a chance to check one out yet.
Hello Guy: a top presentation as usual. It was nice seeing the way you set the Murph watch (ie synchronizing the seconds hand with the minute hand at the 12 position). The Cathedral style minute and hour hand set are what would seal the deal for me in favor of the Murph. The Cooper watch of course shows a very strong laco flieger influence. The handset on the Cooper hardly compares, The Cathedral/ Syringe presentation on the Murph, is just about an unbeatable combination for a handset. For the precision setting of the hands, Bravo.
What a wonderful companion review. I’ve always liked Hammys and have had a couple throughout the years in my collection. They are solid, attractive, and honest watches at a reasonable price. I do wish that Hamilton was still an an American company though. Great job as always Guy.
I agree, they made nice watches at Hamilton, my favorite entry level brand for sure.
Thank you for this review. Interesting how the larger looking watch (the Cooper) is the smaller wearing watch. With a 20cm wrist, I think either of these would look fine on my wrist, but thanks for the lug-to-lug comparison - I didn’t know that was part of how to ‘size’ a watch for one’s wrist. I’m really quite torn choosing one of these because while I like the pilot presentation of the Cooper, I like the lack of complications of the Murph.
The Murph is the actual size. If they’d made it smaller, the watch community would have complained forever. It’s a beautiful piece. Breaking in the strap does help it feel smaller.
Love Hamilton. Have the Navy Pioneer and Railroad Skeleton. I always enjoy your Hamilton reviews. Thanks, Guy.
Thank you!
I bought the Cooper on eBay for a great price. It’s very comfortable and I really like the fit an finish. Even though it a larger watch, it wears very well on my 7 1/4 inch wrist. The day/date complication is just icing on the cake! I also like the way the light reflects off of the indices. Depending on the lighting conditions, it can be a stunning watch.
Good pickup, it is quite cool.
Damn I love the Murh, but I have a 6.75" wrist like yours. Thanks for sharing. Now I know it's too large for me.
yeah, when first announced about the Murph, I couldn't believe it was 42mm. but, apparently, the dimensions of this production model are screen accurate. which is too bad for more modestly sized wrists. it would have been nice to have it at no more than 40mm. but, I guess there are other khaki field watches that come close enough to that style to fill that need.. almost, but not quite the same.
Ya it may be screen accurate, but it was probably made large so it would look better on camera, and not for how it would wear on the wrist. As it is, it is just too large for most people.
@@JustBlueFish didn't think of that, but makes sense. either way, it is unfortunate it's too big.
The pilot (Cooper) has moved to the top of my list. I have the khaki king (38mil) And it is the best wearing wash my collection. I refer to it as my ready-for-bed-watch. I’ve decided that I’m going to add the ‘Cooper’ to my collection. Thanks for the in-depth review!
i should be getting my hammy intra-matic chrono (panda) in a couple of days i loved your review on it, also you was a big influence on me getting a speedy
your reviews are second to none
thanks
Congrats, I hope you like it!
Great video Guy. As a big fan of Hamilton and where they sit in the pecking order, you nailed it. I do love the ”Murph” and it's on my shortlist. My 8.25 wrists have some perks.
Again, thanks Guy for the great presentation.
You’ll love the Murph I bet. Let me know if you ever get one and what you think.
Great details on the Cooper, I've always liked it
Ya definitely a cool watch.
Hi Guy, a great objective review of both these watches, thanks. I like them both but the size of the Murph on paper was sort of putting me off... then I tried one. On my 7" wrist I think it wears smaller as it has the black dial but if it had a white dial or even super white markings it would seem to grow. 52mm lug to lug is long by the standards of today but the logs shape downward to compensate somewhat, on My wrist it fits quite snug and certainly feels no need to waltz around my wrist. I guess a lot of this is what you are used to, I have a few >40mm watches so for me I guess I was already used to it. I also tried smaller lug to lug watches (OK a tad taller) that want to get the best the scenery has to offer trying to spin around my wrist.
Like you I didn't expect to like the Cooper as much and I've warmed to that watch a lot. There is just something about that Murph watch that I may have to scratch. Maybe it's the hands or simple dial or maybe it's because of it's size who knows.
Once again a great review.
I really like the Murph, and nothing to do with the movie which I’ve just seen first the first time last month. I knew the old version and always thought it would have been soo good without a date, and now the Murph is just that.
Yeah it’s nice with no date. That was a good choice by Hamilton.
I've been searching for a daily beater for my 7.25" wrist, and the cooper might be just the watch I need especially since it has the Day-Date function.
Thank you for the great review!
It is a beauty
Like the Khaki Pilot very much, looks great on you too
Yeah the Pilot is very cool, I liked it a lot more than I had expected.
Great review. Thanks to you, I decided to buy a cooper one.
Hope you enjoy it.
Both of these are very nice.
I have a Khaki Field Auto 42. For me the 42 wears better, I have a larger wrist.
Personally, I like the standard hands and dial better than the Murph.
It’s hard to be a standard Khaki Field in terms of the design. The Murph is cool but I too prefer the regular Khaki Field.
I really feel like that Murph watch should have been smaller. 42mm and 22mm lugwith just don't fit this elegant style of watch.
Yeah it's really cool looking, but the size doesn't work for me.
If it were up to me, and it most definitely is not nor will it ever, I would produce a 36mm midsize version for ladies, young people, and otherwise small-wristed folk.
The size is due to the fact that it's an exact reproduction of the Murph watch from the movie. If you watch the movie, you'll see Cooper hold up each watch side-by-side, and they have the same case diameter.
@@cknight0518 Yeah I read about that too. And in a way of showing both side by side it makes sense to have it be that big. But I think the watch would have been much more desirable (on it's own, not as a movie prop watch tribute) if it were smaller.
@@cknight0518 Yeah, I understand and like that Hamilton decided to release it in the same size as in the movie. That said, I think a second model at a smaller size would have been great. It probably would not sell as well but this is just my selfish wishful thinking.
I like both designs a lot, but they are both waaay too big! The Murph at 38mm and the Cooper at 40mm would be spot on I think.
They would be great at those sizes.
@Keith Trevvett Hamilton made the Murph watch with random pieces in their shop for the movie. It was actually possible to make one by buying 3 or so watches and breaking them down. So the watch in the movie happened to be quite large with the stuff they had around. And Hamilton wanted to make it the exact same watch so it's just the world we have to live in lol
They wanted to make watches for men, not unisex models.
I think the necessity of seeing pieces in the metal on your wrist does not bode well for the industry practice of primarily displaying and selling them online.
Myeah. Well.... depends. If they scale down and focus on "luxury" even more, then in-person tryouts make sense. If they want to scale up and sell in the numbers they are selling nowadays - and mostly online - then they need to rethink how they're designing these things.
They better have a good return policy!
Debating these 2 now, thank you for your in depth review! Cheers
Great review! I love the look of both watches but slightly preferred the look of the murph from what I’ve seen in video reviews and in print.
As I have 8.5” wrists I thought I’d be pretty safe - and indeed having ordered the murph it fit very comfortably and wasn’t too big for me.. loved the morse code on the second hand and particularly liked the cathedral style hands and the font of the Arabic numerals. Also I thought the strap was of great quality and contrary to some reviews I’ve read I didn’t find the strap too uncomfortable or stiff.. overall a beautiful watch - and it’s such a faithful reproduction of the watch in the film..
..however something wasn’t quite right for me, I found personally the crystal was very reflective and in several lighting conditions it made the watch tricky to read and I felt the sandy coloured numerals (although beautiful) - in day-to-day lighting conditions they were quite faint especially through the very reflective crystal.. also looking at it in the context of my whole collection it just didn’t pop for me in the way I thought it would so with a heavy heart I returned the watch after 24 hours (having been careful to not remove any of the stickers or tags other than the one on the top crystal - just to get an idea of what it look like in different lighting conditions)...
however particularly after seeing this review, I got it into my head that I really wanted an ‘interstellar’ watch, having seen several photos of Cooper wearing this watch in the film and after watching this review I decided to exchange the watch for the Cooper...
Wow, I’m so glad I did!! For me the moment I opened the box I was really blown away and really excited. For me it’s all about the dial, it’s absolutely stunning, I love the fact that the numerals do actually ‘come and go’ slightly- depending on the lighting and the angle at which you look at the watch, but regardless of this, the hour and minute hands are always easy to read in any lighting conditions.. reading the time is never difficult, (actually the watch looks cool when you can only see the hour/minute hands!)
The watch is quite dressy and slightly blingy (absolutely without being tacky) when you see the bright shining Arabic numerals. I’ve only had so watch a few days, but the movement seems buttery smooth.
I think the bracelet looks great, and the clasp is decent, comfortable to wear, (there is no denying that compared to my Tudor, Longines and Oris, the Hamilton bracelet is a little more lightweight a little bit more clattery when shaken, but I think it’s really smart, it’s very comfortable, I like the fact it’s got a proper pushbutton clasp rather than a butterfly clasp, it’s all beautifully signed, (and incredible value at the price point), certainly very happy to wear this day to day, a very attractive bracelet, I think the brand is great With an interesting history and story, and it seems fitting having had a couple of Hamiltons in the past that I’ve flipped, to have one in the collection once again - particularly one that’s got a movie connection…, above all the dial is just beautiful. I can seriously see myself making this a keeper in the collection!
Always thought about a B style flight watch, looks good and seem's fairly well discounted. If it sold close to msrp, I'd go Stowa.
I haven’t seen a Stowa but I did check out a Laco I liked.
@@JustBlueFish Guy just check their website, they only sell direct from their offices and plant in Germany. Have also heard good things about Laco. After I watched this, I did find the Cooper for just under $600 new from a reliable non AD. Thinking about it, another Glycine or Stowa.
The Murph is a classic, but it’s too damned big!
I’d love to see it in 36-38 mm.
I’d love for it to be 36-38... and maybe a bit cheaper and I’d buy it for my wife. I ordered the other and it’s coming soon.
They wanted to make a watch for men, not an unisex model.
@@maitrehg,
Trolling?
@@Archer335 no, I wear 38mm watches and find it very comfortable. The Murph is a masculine one and looks so good.
@@maitrehg,
Trolling is a waste of time and effort, and it’s never positive or constructive.
Great comparison... the cooper looks nice
I liked it.
Hey Guy, love your channel. RUclips is my only social media and I think there’s a lot of us on here like that. Just wanted you to know you make great content! Favorite watch channel by far.
Thanks I appreciate that, glad you like it!
love the daydate khaki cheers
I’m really surprised I liked it so much, I wasn’t expect to. But it’s great.
The Murph is a perfect alternative to an IWC Mark XVII or XVIII. Nice fauxtina which is not over the top.
Another great video Guy !
Thanks man.
The “Murph” was never released as a limited edition. The box was always for the first 2555 pieces.
Great review. Thank you
I personally liked the clean look of hamilton murph. Cheers
The design is quite nice. The size, that’s my problem.
I love the Murph Interstellar, but it should have been 40 mm or so. Edit: No screw down crown?? I want every of my watches to have a screw down crown, but that is just me.
40mm with at most 48mm lug to lug and a 20mm strap would have dialed the Murph in to a great versatile size. As it sits, it’s too large for all but guys with the largest wrists.
That huge lug to lug is why I stayed away from the hammy scuba. I love the watch face and coloring but 50mm is just too much IMO for my 6 3/4.
50 is an old wind up alarm clock on a strap! Where does it stop?
48mm lug to lug is about my max.
@@JustBlueFish I'm sporting a Samurai right now and it is as large as I would like a watch to be and it is a 48ish. I wonder why they Hammy's have such long lugs even on a 40 mm watch I just don't get it. I'd love to get my teeth into their brand but they just won't fit how I like. Thanks for the great content.
Nathan
Uh yeah
nice review. i want one
Great review. Fish I'm not a fan of the Hamilton pieces at all, but I do have the one H76666135 in my bucket list. Thanks
Hamilton is easily my favorite entry level brand right now.
Also, WHOA, the Murph watch is huge too! wtf
It really is.
I bought a murph. Change it 2 days later just for the Cooper. Too big lug to lug and tough strap on the murph. Cooper fits so much better on my wrist.
The murph watch is the better looking watch in my opinion. It adds classical and modernism at the same time and that's not easy to do when regarding any type of product.. The Other watch reminds me of a scale. Not saying it's not nice but we all have different tastes
For me, Hamilton should have closed the Murph caseback as, it detracts from the watch for me.
I agree it also should have been a 38mm piece. That said, I enjoyed the movie and have big wrists so I will put it in my interested list.
I actually prefer the opposite to you looking at them on your VLOG, while I like the large size of the ""Cooper" I find the dial really busy personally. Its probably one of those watches you need to see in person to truly appreciate.
Yeah like I said in the video, you really need to judge watches in person to be sure what works best for you. I didn't expect the results I got till I saw them in person.
@@JustBlueFish another great VLOG guy, but as I finished watching you really did a great job of explaining it, I really find myself wanting to try a MURPH now as I have a 7.5" wrist.
I think you'd like it if your wrist is 7.5", it's really cool, just a little big.
Why is it impossible to find a video of the Murph on a 7.5"+ wrist 😔
I heard the pilot movement is not super accurate and must be sent to Hamilton for calibration. Don’t know what that costs but I bet it’s a lot. I love the look of the watch but it’s size and cost are just out there. If it had a better movement it might be worth the cost. BTW the blue dial is fantastic.
The Murph, hands down!
Yes I'm commenting on an old video but I just had to ask:
Why on earth would a pilots watch have a screw down crown??? 🤔
You never know when you might need to make an emergency landing in a body of water?
@@JustBlueFish In that situation I think your watch not having a screw down crown would be the very least of your worries! And it would be ok anyway! 😂
Where’s the Lume shots at?
Hamilton lume is trash, didn't really feel like spending to time shooting the shot in the dark room for it.
If the Murph was 40mm with a bracelet and I'd buy it quicker than Guy notices someone wearing a Rolex.
Mine was broken out of the box. Returned to the AD and got a full refund. So disappointed.
For me, Hamilton is the BEST brand, bar none. Excellent watches at reasonable prices.
The thing that keeps me from buying "The Murph" is the size. 52 mm from lug to lug us just too large.
How’s the Lume on the Murph ?
Typical for Hamilton, that's to say, not great.
JustBlueFish Watch Reviews nice ! Thank you for the reply !
Last question - are the actual numbers lumed or is it just the hands ?
@@mbnv99234 The numbers are lumed. It looks really cool.
The Murph is so large because Hamilton basically built the original out of a Khaki Pioneer which was a pilots watch
Well good thing i have a 7.5" wrist
How big are your wrists?
Wing span..good one,to bad its so big.
What a fantastic review! This is really what I was looking for and even better! Thank you very much and keep doing this great videos!
PS: Maybe you could upload some closeup videos later?
Your wrist shot comparison is interesting. I thought the day date looked ridiculous on you and the Murph was better. I think it’s that dial and almost no bezel on the day date that makes it present so huge.
Plain looking watch.
Watched this to hear you say "lugwith".
Thanks for watching.
cooper is oversized. and i thik that it would have looked better if it had black day/date instead of white.
Thanks for watching!
Considering that Cooper gave the ‘Murph’ watch to Murph the character (who was a little girl at the time) in the movie, that watch would have been FAR too big for her 😂
That's not the point. It was his watch that he gave her to reinforce a concept. She was never meant to actually wear it.
@@RichardsModellingAdventures that’s fair, but I wasn’t trying to refute a point. I was just making a general statement regarding the context that I found amusing. 🤷🏻♂️
Even though I think it's ridiculously overpriced, I'd throw my checkbook at Hamilton today if they released a 38 or even 40mm version of the Murph.
Unscrewing a screw down Crown is the last thing you want to do while flying a plane. You don't have time for that
I mean, yeah in 1940. That’s not an issue today.
why would you want to change anything while flying a plane?
Watch strap is far to short for a normal wrist and will be a problem. Buy a STOWA instead.
Murph at 39 or 40! This will become the most loved watch! 42 with super long lug.... ! just out of proportion
LOL "negate the date"
That Murph watch was obviously designed to be a movie prop rather than a wearable watch.
Its not 42 that's 2 big on murph those lugs are ridiculous lol
Your Cooper watch is not original from the movie Interstellar. It is already the 2nd generation maybe 3th. Otherwise a nice video.
It's funny to hear reviewers say a watch is big... very big. That's only on your wrist or other people that have small wrists. Trust me, it's not too big overall.
Thanks for watching.
Any watch over 40mm is too big for me
How big is your wrist ?
The same as any 38mm is too small for me 😔
@@rezaakbari1773 6 1/2 inches
@@optule everyone is different
Not bad. Unfortunately, the Murph watch is just plain overpriced, and Cooper is, well... too large.
Prices are pretty high on both, at msrp.
Nice watches but unfortunately too big for my liking
They are a bit large.
Bruh you need to wait next 15 years and eat fried sausage after 8 pm more often to understand the demografic of Murphy's watch. Khaki pilot with B-type dial is clearly modern style for young man without clogged veins. On the other hand- Murphys is an old man's watch and Hammy knows his western 50+ y-olds wrist sizes.
The Murph would have been nice without the numbers, just with bar indices.
I don’t get how everybody loves the 38 over the 42, you must have little wrist I’m not a big guy, having a 38 looks very funny in a mirror, and looks like I’m wearing child’s watch or a woman watch. The 42 is perfect size for a man. That just me…
fake crocodile strap screams low budget
I mean, it is a pretty entry level watch. Good croc straps can be half the price of this watch.
Toooo long. Talk too much
Hamilton got, and presumeably paid for, a double product placement in a film. So what? Except that people who buy this watch are going to be paying for it.
In Europe we're not overwhelmed by Hamilton; especially their lowsy WR on their so called 'field' watches. Screw down crown? No sir.
In the USA they're big big big, despite the fact that Hamilton was farming out its caliber production to Switzerland (Buren) from 1966.
Get wise. You're being had.
Hamilton was contacted to create a brand new watch for Interstellar. They built the Murph watch from the ground up specifically for the film. You better bet they get additional product placement for doing so and making something so beautiful so quickly for the demand.
I like my girls big and thick, my watches not so much.
I’m not judging.
The opposite for me.
