Late to another party, but what a party! Too big for me, which is a shame becasue it is a stunner. And Hamilton's corner cutting lack of A/R really shows up on this beauty. Thanks again to Richard, and happy birthday when it comes mate. Cheers, Jody
I've had my Hamilton "Murph" for about a year now and enjoy it very much. I purchased for US$750 like Richard and probably wouldn't pay any more than that at this point. It is a big watch, but it works well on my 7.75 inch wrist. The leather strap is fine, but I swapped it out for a black and tan Nato strap and it looks great. I know it's a gimmick, but I'm a sucker for the morse code on the seconds hand. It's like a little secret that only watch geeks will know. 😀
It’s too fkn big dude.
@@omgwtfpwndOnly if you lack testosterone and have 4 inch wrists like a 12 year old girl.
I think it's great that they released this watch, and the size is true to the one in the movie. 52mm is right on the edge of my max lug-to-lug on my 7.25" wrist, but I could wear it. There are clearly enough people in the world to pull that size watch off, but I can understand why some people were hoping it would be smaller. Maybe in the future they will consider releasing a small Murph at 38 or 39mm. I'm sure it would get some love. As for me, I am hoping my Cooper I ordered shows up tomorrow. That one is definitely my style, and I've had my eye on it since even before your review last year. I'm excited, as the only other watch I've bought in 2021 was my "Jellyfish" CasiOak G-Shock.
Absolutely love that nerdy detail on the second hand! 🤩 Thanks for the review Jody!
This is been on my must-have list for a couple of years… I’ve got to get this one of my collection! Thanks Jody!
I loved the film, so I had to get the watch and love it. Even though the lugs are long. I managed to get one of the early ones that had the limited production acrylic tesseract box, which was a nice touch, for a film fan.
Owned my Murph for about 3 months. I am still obsessed with it, the novelty has yet to wear off. It is an easy reader and and I find myself entranced at times just staring down and watching the seconds sweep across the dial. The Arabics are unique and elegant. The only problem I have is the lack of the anti reflective coating, this thing almost doubles as a mirror at times. Also I have a 7inch wrist, if you have anything smaller than a 7in wrist you should instead get the khaki king auto
Is yours loud? I’ve had the Murph for less than a week and I’m absolutely obsessed with it, but I’ve noticed the thing is damn loud! I can hear it over the TV sometimes
I adore the movie and therefore just had to buy both the Coop and the Murph, the Murph on pre-release in the limited edition Tesseract box. I love these watches!
Great looking watch for sure. Surprised the 'Eureka' code didn't show-up in the lume shot. That would have really been neat.
Very nice watch and a perfect birthday present, i got the Cooper for my birthday from my bonus kids
Fell in love with it after you're review of it and i told everybody about it so much
Was speechless when they gave it
It's lovely..... great film, great piece, and overly expensive as a result! 🤔 I just realised how similar San Martin's latest steel pilot (sn034) is! It has a modest Miyota 8215 but it's about £120... I'm getting in early and naming it the 'San Murph' ..... 😎
LOVE the look and story. I would have bought it without seeing it in person. I did wait and tried it on, just wasn’t for me. Glad I waited. Great video!!!
Its beatiful, love it, Ive been wearing mine for more than a week and it has only gained about a second - I have never had a automatic this precise! Dont know if Im just lucky or if the H-10 is just a very accurate movement…
Funny. I'm relatively new to watch collecting and discovered the cathedral hour hand earlier this year, on this Hamilton Murph, and decided I needed something in the collection with that handset. Anyway it was quite pricey at the time and I wasn't keen on the 6 and 9 number style either. I then discovered the Alpinist watches and settled on the black dial with shark tooth indices SPB117J1. That Hamilton Murph is still a special watch though. I partly blame it for my current addiction.
Great aesthetics! I feel that this style would be better suited at 36-38mm -- but brilliant design! And the morse code is soo great!
That’s a good looking watch. I wish Tissot had a no date dial like that. Give it different hands and maybe 40mm (but they are just quibbles) would differentiate it enough considering Hamilton are not as readily available in Australia as Tissot.
Despite the lowbeat movement, like the Murph as a daily driver, grabbed another Murph when one turned up heavily discounted to keep one mint. One has the unique LE box. The daily driver now has some Wabi after a year of good use, still looks ok on a fabulous distressed leather grey/brown strap, a Hadley-Roma 854, the most supple, thick, sublime $30 strap. Get one.
Have 2 different Coopers too, standard and tan lume version.
Gorgeous watch but far too big a lug to lug for me. Looks like a watch that would be perfect as a 38mm/48mm.
I thought this watch was "small", around 36-38 mm having been made for a little girl's character in Interstellar!!
That's the exact reason I didn't buy one. Love the watch, I'm a big sci-fi fan and theoretical physics enthusiast but the lug to lug is 2mm too big for my wrist.
I thought the same. Swatch group haven’t got the memo saying people don’t want ever increasing sizes of watches
Exactly. This would have been an instant classic and highly desirable at 38mm. Instead they have had overstock since launch.
I think the kahki at 38 is a perfect size, if they matched the styling it would be amazing
A good review Jodi. I think Hamilton designed this watch to appear to be an old watch and I think they did a pretty good job. The faux lume as you say is just about right. Having a matt finish on the hands also makes sense as it gives a slight oxidised appearance. Adding AR would have certainly helped readability but would have been at odds with an old watch that could really pass off as an old watch when new. Apologies if this is confusing. The long lug to lug is mitigated somewhat by the down sweep angle. Prospective buyers should if possible try one on and not just go by the measurements. You probably guessed I have this watch and am pretty happy with it. It's a watch that you could put in an old shed and someone who finds it would have difficulty getting any idea of how old it is. For sure I'd doubt they would be able to accept it was new. Anyway a great unboxing. All the best.
Very good looking watch. Happy Birthday Richard!
When i bought this watch i struggled to fall in love with it. I just couldn't click with it. I had it for about a month before i decided to put it on Ebay, it wasn't until i started taking pictures close up, from different angles, with the box and certificate did i actually start to feel a connection. I had it on Ebay for about 10 minets before i cancelled to lisiting and put it back on my wrist. 4 months later and i'm in love with it. I can't wait to set it's time and wind it back up when i treat myself to wear it on my days off work. I also take it on holidays and day trips so it has some great memories linked with it now.
What a beauty of watch. So clean...so classic. Great review, Jody
Great review. I have the "Murph" and, now that I've seen your/Richard's unboxing, I just want to go and slap it on my wrist.
Thanks for sharing and happy to see you have such dedicated fans! I would have torn the box open myself 😉👍🏼
This one was near the top of my list this past year… Unfortunately I gave in to too many micro brands… It’s now top of the list for next year…! Thanks Jody…!
Jody, great review. Happy Birthday, Richard got a really cool watch.
The seconds hand is very cool. This might have to go on the list.
Beautiful watch and a long time waiting to see it on the channel. Long lug to lug, but not much difference to the khaki 42mm. If i can find this at the right price it would be a great addition to my collection.
congratulations to the owner, the hands and lume highlight the simplicity and beauty of the dial, best regards. 👍🏼
I have the Field Watch is identical to that more or less. Wears very well under my layered sleeve clothes in winter the longish ness is not so bothersome as if it was a thicker piece. So I can slide my wrist thru my hoodies and coats no hang ups that is a big advantage over my thicker automatics... I dont mind hand wind for that reason although without day date on them so they are easy to set I digress. Love Hamiltons great value and they take a beating I do outside work and no issues with time keeping. Small wrist most of my watches look big so with this one.
CONGRATS Richard and thanks for the review Jody.
👍 Thanks Jody, great review. I have been waiting for you to review this one. Looks great and not too big.
Just another reason why Hamilton is one of my favorite brands. I just love their designs and aesthetics
That was so nice of Richard. Happy Birthday 🎁
Hamilton's and pilot watches are pretty neat, very legible. Also noticed they seem quite big lug to lug. Imagine I'll get one one day 😜. Can't really beat IWC.. the flat glass and anti reflective coating is amazing.
I only started 1 year ago collecting cheap watches to find my style and preferences to in the future buy some more expensive watches.
When JOMW posted the original review of the Cooper watch, it was the first time my girlfriend got really excited for a watch. Interstellar was one of the first movies we saw together when we started dating and she really really likes how the watch looks.
The size was way too big for my skinny wrists, but when I found out there was a smaller version, my plan was to get it as my wedding watch. And then they discontinued the small version, it's just impossible to get. I have called every Hamilton distributor in a 100km radius, I still check ebay and Google weekly to find somebody that wants to sell it (for a realistic price), but at this point I think I will never find it.
Have you tried the regular cooper on? 42mm diameter is quite sizable but 48mm lug to lug is not that bad. I don't know your wrist size but I think most guys could pull it off.
I own the coop and it does wear smaller than the dimensions imply. Fits perfectly on my 7 1/4 inch wrist.
6.5 - 6.75” wrist. Cooper fits me just fine. I’ve got bigger watches. Guess it depends on how you like to wear em. I’d recommend getting one.
This made me finally make a Hamilton purchase, but lower end, the khaki automatic. Wow, brilliant watch.
Lovely review sir. I done a quick unboxing too. LOVE this watch but the lack of AR treatment destroys the visuals 😩
I'd love a smaller version. I'd be interested in how the lume performs. I find Swatch Group products generally don't have very impressive lume.
Owned one for a few years now. An amazing dial and a great finished Hamilton. For me the only flaw is lack of AR coating.
Also it’s too fkn big. Not classy at all.
Imagine what a homerun this would be in 39 mm and with decent AR coating... Come on, Hamilton!
Do we have to start a petition for them to put AR on their watches? At any rate, I like many of their designs but will never own one until they finally sort out the crystal issue.
39mm and 46-47mm lug to lug
@@almog3875 Indeed, shorter lug-to-lug would be very welcome as well
@@dschaen81 I got the Pilot Pioneer 38mm and was very pleased that they managed to get it right and give it double AR coating.(Also dropped from it's max RRP by 30% here in the UK on a sale which helped!)
Beauty for a big wrist. The proportions look spot on so maybe if it had 2mm off the lug width and about 4 from the diameter but that's another watch.
That is stunning and I have the same complaint with mine, no ar. Not sure why a company can put decent ar on a watch under £100 but Hamilton can't manage it on a watch at nearly a grand. Still love their watches though.
Hey-o!
I'm waiting for hamilton to move to AR coated crystal before I buy! I also would pay more if they dropped the hamilton field mechanical with raised indices or a textured dial! Hamilton should continue to offer the same field watch but also a more intricate or "2022" version
Great watch that will probably never lose value. Love the morse code on the second hand. Also Great review like always
Soooooo beautiful. If it only was a bit smaller + some anti reflective.
Great looking piece reminds me of the military era style, esp like the morse code on the sec hand esp the fact its not in your face. This would of been ideal if slightly smaller
I picked one up in the UK second hand in perfect condition for £450 which i thought was a bargain. Its an amazing watch and my eldest son has already claimed it as his inheritance when i pop my clogs
The Murph uses the same 42mm x 52mm case as the Hamilton Khaki 42mm. The dial is what makes this watch desirable. It’s a shame this one was not made in 38mm! It would be in my collection already.
Superb film, one of all time favourites. Great looking watch, but usual Hamilton issues of no AR and massive long lugs. I sold my Khaki King for the same two niggles.
The largest ladies' watch ever built? ;)
I loved that thing when I first watched the movie .... until I saw it in real life, years later. From then on, it reminded me more of the Rolex from "Top Secret!".
This was the first and only swiss watch I have ever owned. It's my first automatic for that matter. It's kind of my one and only. I have had it for about a month now and I'm already looking for my next. Thinking Intramatic. The loom is the only letdown for me.
I’m considering it as my first Swiss made automatic watch. Got my Kamasu as diver entry watch
Hope you do the new 38! Great videos! Much thanks.
I had the Murph complete with Tesseract Box. Love it, but the ltl is just too long for me. I reluctantly moved it along. Beautiful watch though
I love this watch. Thanks Richard.
Love the shirt. Anyways nice to see the 90s Godzilla movies represented.
If they aren't including a steel strap at that price they'd at least have to have quick release spring bars, an absolutely gorgeous watch all around tho, i really love the simplicity
And... another late bedtime... o well its only 2am here I can still 4hrs sleep
It's a flieger so it being big isn't really an issue. The fauxtina is well executed as well and the numerals and cathedrals are very mid century, that straps a bit meh tho, but this is a watch I've not noticed before and now it's snapping at Stowas heel on my "list".....less than a PRX at my AD's atm, very tempting.
Are you looking at the new Navy soon,? they've re vamped that rather lacklustre (100m WR, aluminum bezel) model as well. Meanwhile the old ones are being offered cheap.
One of the greatest movies and one of the greatest watches.
That is easily my favourite Hamilton.
I thought the Murph came in a special addition box with stripes to represent the film window dust scene.
Japanese solar quartz watches always is my idea of watches, but I started looks forward to try a mechanic watch in future, and I don't mind if the accurate of this Hamilton fell in +/_5sec a day.
Fwar that's a bit of me that ! Nice big button ! I've considered getting a ventura but it was a bit too small then I've looked at the Elvis 80 which is bigger but 600 quid more ! So now I've seen this and I'm thinking hmmm I like a bit of vintage military.. 🤔
The 'Legendary' (?) Hamilton Murph.
If this watch is legendary then it doesn't take much to gain that status these days.
A handful of years and a product placement deal is all you need.
Congratulations Richard! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine. I picked mine up shortly after it was released from a Canadian AD on Chrono24. It included the limited edition packaging. The Tesseract Box really is a thing of beauty as far as watch boxes go 😁 Hamilton makes a bracelet for another 41mm Khaki model that fits the Murph as well if you're into bracelets.
It would be nice if they had put some lume in the morse code marks. IMO you need a wrist over 7.5 inches to wear it just fine.
Happy Birthday Richard!
I put a black croc leather strap with white stitching on my black dial baby Alpinist, and it looks very similar to the Murph and being 38mm it's the size the Hamilton should have been
Great watch, great movie and a great review. Cheers.
I own this watch. The Murph is my favorite. I love the movie interstellar and I knew I have to have it when they released it. This watch is always in my daily rotation next to my Orient Kano with the red bezel which is orders of magnitude more beautiful than a Tudor in my eyes. I just buy what I love and don’t care what people think about it.
Woo-boo, the 38mm is out now with a lug to lug of about 44 I think.
It doesn’t have the morse code on the second hand, but I don’t care about that.
Any chance of a review Jody?
This along with the Bulova pilot you reviewed are very tempting as far as "vintage ish" is concerned.
Big wrists required for both!!
Wow this is totally coincidental I was just researching picking one of these up. I thought it was showing in my feed due to Googling turns out the video was just uploaded. I think this is one of the better looking Khakis fields and also a bit unique instead of typical field watch look. Kinda dressy for a field watch. Hmmm that long lug to lug is something I hadn't and that lack of AR is extremely obvious I wonder how bad it is in person.
Love the watch... and the Shirt!
Liking the new specs
It's beautiful, nothing about it I don't like. Dunno why I don't have one yet - guess I'll start looking 🤩
Cheers 👍👍
Hi Jody, Great watch and nice video. Keep up the good work. PS Happy Birthday Richard
I tried on the Murph in a shop 2 years ago. And gave it back to the seller. The lug to lug size is just way too much. I was also disappointed that a watch of this price does not have any AR coating.
It's a beautiful watch and I love the nerdy morse code dots on the second hand. I wonder why Hamilton insists on this long lug to lug distance, given that this is a watch that was worn on a girl's wrist in the movie.
Made at the time of the boyfriend watch trend
It's because watches that are specifically made for movies (like this watch was) is so they can be seen more easily on screen
Lovely little watch, looks much more wearable than its film counterpart
Hi Jody that is just about the perfect watch for me if it only was under 40 mm
Fantastic watch!
Such a good looking watch. Morse code brilliant haha
The 38mm is out! Get one in for a review please Jody!
The size of the watch is fine. 42mm diameter is perfect and 52mm lug to lug works well on any wrist at least 7" in size. I have a 7.5" wrist and wear watches with 54mm lug to lug lengths with no issues. The lack of AR coating is a pain but you get used to it.
Easily one of the nicest movie tie-in watches I've seen. The lack of AR is kind of a shock. I like the overall size but the lug-to-lug tells me 'no'. I have a similarly sized Alpina that unfortunately hangs over my wrist at both ends. Not annoying enough to make me get rid of it as it was one of the first 'nice' watches I ever bought. Definitely enough to dissuade me from buying a similarly L-O-N-G watch.
Could you feature more angular watches i don't really know what's out there but i am interested in getting a different looking watch
Awesome shirt!
At this point, I think Hamilton prides itself on unnecessarily long lug-to-lug lengths relative to case size. I mean, if Seiko can fix this problem on nearly all their watches (skx007, 42x46mm, anyone?), surely Hamilton can do it. I tried the 38mm Field Mechanical, but with 48mm lugs, the gaps between the case and supplied canvas strap just look bad. If I do someday consider Hamilton again, I’ll have to upgrade to the Field Automatic with bracelet.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY RICHARD
The lack of AR, and 42/52mm are a shame. If it had AR and was 40/50 (or a bit smaller) I would definitely buy one
I had one for over a year and what impresses me the most is how accurate it is. Perhaps the size is the only serious con in this piece. Otherwise, it's amazing.
If you can't find a mirror near by just look at your Hamilton watch. That crystal reflects everything!
gorgeous watch
A very beautiful watch. My style.
Beautiful looking watch but just too big. Would look far better at 39mm.
Dang dude sent you his own gift to open it early 🤣 that’s funny I love this watch and all the videos, I think this watch is just good looking as anything. I feel guilty liking it honestly because it’s like a field dressy watch.
I wish it was sub 40mm because I love the simple design.
Can you review the Ventus Field watch? It looks so good
hi jodi! please make a video about the best affordable watches with arabic numerals!
I bought the Cooper because of the movie back when it was released . Have an issue with the glass recently can anyone advise me with it ?
