Time+Tide Watches’ 14 December 2024 list by Buffy Acacia picked six Hamilton watches across five editorial entries: accessible Khaki Field quartz options, a compact digital reissue, new Murph configurations, a titanium collaboration and two film-inspired Venturas. The prices below are the US prices reported at the time, not current quotes; availability may have changed.
How the 2024 selection breaks down
The list is an editorial selection of Hamilton releases and range expansions associated with 2024, rather than a ranking based on independent testing or a current buying guide. Its appeal is variety: the picks span quartz, automatic and digital watches, and range from restrained field-watch styling to unusually sculptural designs.
| Watch | Movement or display | Size and materials | Notable details | US price reported in December 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Khaki Field Quartz | Quartz | 38mm and 33mm sizes; multiple dial options | A more accessible quartz route into the Khaki Field family | US$395 |
| PSR 74 | Digital | 30.9mm wide × 25.6mm long × 12.4mm thick | Compact reinterpretation of the 1974 Pulsar Cushion; second button for the date; 100m water resistance | US$745 |
| Khaki Field Murph 38mm | Automatic | 38mm; leather strap or bracelet configurations | 2024 expansion added white-dial and bracelet versions | US$895 on leather; US$945 on bracelet |
| Khaki Field Titanium Engineered Garments Limited Edition | Automatic H-10 | 36mm titanium case and matching titanium bracelet | Legibility-focused dial changes; 80-hour power reserve, sapphire crystal, 100m water resistance; 1,999 pieces | US$1,145 |
| Ventura XXL Bright Dune Limited Edition | Quartz | 46.6mm; black PVD-coated steel and rubber strap | Blue luminous accents; 3,000 pieces | US$1,750 |
| Ventura Edge Dune Limited Edition | Digital | 47.2mm; faceted steel-and-sapphire construction | 2,000 pieces | US$2,500 |
Specifications and period prices in the table are those reported by Time+Tide Watches in its 2024 article. The Murph movement and feature details warrant a current-reference check: Hamilton’s present US Murph page lists an automatic H-10, 80-hour power reserve, sapphire crystal and 100m water resistance, but those details should not be assumed to apply identically to every 2024 configuration.
The picks, and who each suits
Hamilton Khaki Field Quartz: straightforward field-watch entry
Acacia’s Khaki Field Quartz pick focused on choice and accessibility: the article names 33mm and 38mm cases and multiple dial options, with a period US price of US$395. It is the most traditional-looking choice in the group for someone who wants field-watch styling without stepping into an automatic movement.

Hamilton PSR 74: a compact retro digital
The PSR 74 reworks the 1974 Pulsar Cushion in a smaller, more compact shape. Its additional button operates the date, while the reported 30.9 × 25.6mm footprint and 12.4mm thickness make its proportions notably different from the larger Ventura picks. Time+Tide reported 100m water resistance and a December 2024 US price of US$745.
Hamilton Khaki Field Murph 38mm: more ways to wear the Murph
The 2024 update was about configuration rather than a new case size: white-dial and bracelet versions joined the 38mm Murph offering. The period prices reported were US$895 for leather and US$945 for the bracelet. The Murph is the field-watch choice with cinematic provenance, but the practical distinction in this year’s expansion is the dial and how the watch is worn.

Khaki Field Titanium Engineered Garments: light materials, high legibility
This 36mm limited edition pairs a titanium case with a matching titanium bracelet and dial changes intended to improve legibility. Its automatic H-10 movement was listed with an 80-hour power reserve; the article also notes sapphire crystal and 100m water resistance. Production was reported at 1,999 pieces. Time+Tide said it was sold out when the article appeared; that is a historical stock statement, and current availability was not verified.
Ventura XXL Bright Dune and Ventura Edge Dune: the statement-watch pair
Time+Tide grouped the two Dune-inspired Venturas together, though they take distinct approaches. The XXL Bright Dune is a black PVD-coated steel quartz watch with a rubber strap and blue luminous accents. At 46.6mm, it makes a strong visual statement; the reported run was 3,000 pieces. The Ventura Edge is a 47.2mm digital design with a faceted steel-and-sapphire construction, produced in 2,000 pieces.

Every price above is the US price reported by Time+Tide in December 2024. It is useful for understanding how the original list positioned the watches, but it should not be read as a current retail price. Likewise, sold-out or available status describes the time the article was published, not the present market.
