Hamilton Brings “Interstellar” to Earth with Khaki Field Murph
Hamilton watches have been seen in many movies over the years ? from the brand’s very first silver screen appearance in 1951’s The Frogmen, to Elvis Presley rocking a Ventura in Blue Hawaii, to Bruce Willis mowing down bad guys with a Jazzmaster on his wrist in the Die Hard films ? but perhaps never more prominently than in 2014’s Interstellar, in which a Hamilton Khaki Field watch plays a pivotal role in saving the world. Now Hamilton is releasing a special version of that watch, identical to the model used for the movie with the exception of one identifying detail that should appeal to its ardent fans. Read on to discover this week’s Watch to Watch, the Hamilton Khaki Field Murph.
The Hamilton Khaki Field Murph is a reproduction of a watch that played a key role in the sci-fi blockbuster Interstellar. In Interstellar, Matthew McConaughey plays Cooper, a former NASA pilot, enlisted for a time- and dimension-spanning outer space mission to save humanity from a looming threat, who leaves behind his watch with his beloved daughter, Murph (played by Mackenzie Foy as a child and by Jessica Chastain as an adult). In the movie’s resolution, Cooper communicates the essential data that will rescue humanity from extinction by sending Morse code signals from another dimension through the seconds hand of the watch, a Hamilton Khaki Field that watch-connoisseur fans of the movie have since nicknamed “The Murph.”
The Murph watch has a 42-mm stee...
