The Khaki Field Auto "The Odyssey" Limited Edition was created through a collaboration between Hamilton and filmmaker Christopher Nolan to commemorate the release of The Odyssey. The 42 mm bronze case is paired with a brushed black dial featuring details inspired by the film, including a swirling pattern referencing Odysseus's helmet, a rivet-style index at 12 o'clock, and sword-shaped hands coated with Super-LumiNova. A titanium caseback engraved with Odysseus's helmet and Nolan's signature completes the design.
Hamilton ensures that it equips the watch with its H-10 automatic movement, offering an 80-hour power reserve and a Nivachron balance spring for improved resistance to magnetism and temperature fluctuations. Water-resistant to 100 meters, the watch is fitted with a brown calfskin leather strap secured by a titanium pin buckle.
