Murph Match-Up: Which Hamilton Khaki Field Size Fits You Best?

Few timepieces capture the spirit of cinematic storytelling and horological heritage quite like the Hamilton Khaki Field Murph. Born from its iconic role in the science fiction masterpiece Interstellar, the Murph watch isn’t just a timekeeper—it’s a story on your wrist.

But now, enthusiasts and new collectors alike face a thrilling choice: Should you choose the Murph 42mm or the new Murph 38mm? Each has its strengths, and your decision might just come down to lifestyle, wrist size, and personal taste.

At Lexor Miami, an authorized Hamilton dealer, you’re not just buying a watch—you’re receiving customized attention, access to mirrors for wrist trials, and the assurance of genuine Swiss timekeeping excellence. Let’s explore both models and help you find the one that fits your wrist and your world.

The Hamilton Murph Legacy: From Big Screen to Iconic Wristwear

Hamilton’s role in Interstellar wasn’t just a product placement—it was storytelling in its purest form. The original Murph 42mm was worn by the character Murphy Cooper and quickly became a symbol of time, love, and endurance.

Since then, fans and collectors yearned for a model that captured the essence of the original in a more compact form. That wish came true with the release of the Murph 38mm—a smaller, more wearable version that retains all the magic of the original.

Both models are part of the Khaki Field collection, a range inspired by military watches and known for their ruggedness, reliability, and simplicity. But beyond the aesthetics, they differ in dimensions and wearing experience—making this comparison essential for buyers.
