A Watch Born From Myth

Some watches simply tell time. This one tells a story. The Hamilton Khaki Field Auto The Odyssey Limited Edition is a rare crossover between Swiss watchmaking and modern cinema, developed hand-in-hand with Christopher Nolan for his upcoming epic The Odyssey. Rather than slapping a movie logo on a dial, Hamilton and Nolan built the watch around Homer's mythology itself — right down to the production number.

Only 2,112 pieces exist worldwide, a figure chosen deliberately: the number 12 carries deep significance throughout Homer's epic, from the twelve ships Odysseus commands to the recurring role the number plays across Greek myth. At Lexor Miami, we're proud to offer collectors and cinephiles alike access to this exceptional piece of horological storytelling.

Design: Where Field Watch Meets Epic Hero

The case is solid bronze — a material Hamilton chose specifically because it ages. Over months and years of wear, bronze develops a living patina unique to each owner, meaning no two Odyssey watches will look exactly alike a year from now. It's a fitting metaphor for a story about the passage of time.

The brushed black dial carries bronze accents and a rivet-style index at 12 o'clock, while the sculpted sword hands are a direct nod to the hero's helmet and sword from the film. A circular brushed finish across the dial reinforces the handcrafted, artisanal character of the design. Flip the watch over and the brushed titanium caseback reveals an engraving of Odysseus' helmet alongside Christopher Nolan's own signature — a permanent mark of authenticity for serious collectors.

Movement & Performance

Underneath the mythology sits genuinely serious watchmaking. The automatic Caliber H-10 delivers an 80-hour power reserve — enough to sit on a shelf over a long weekend and still be running when you pick it back up — and is fitted with a Nivachron balance spring for improved resistance to shocks and magnetic fields. A sapphire crystal with anti-reflective coating protects the dial, and 100m (10 bar) water resistance means this piece is ready for daily life, not just display cases.

Beyond the Watch: A Collector's Experience

Collectability with this piece goes well beyond the watch itself. Every Odyssey Limited Edition arrives in bespoke black-and-bronze packaging inspired directly by the film, including:

• A wearable Athena-shaped pin, replicating the brooch Penelope gifts Odysseus in the film
• A shield emblem, echoing the presentation style of a hero's own gear
• A commemorative plaque signed by Christopher Nolan

Each element is arranged in a shield-inspired display case, creating a collectible experience meant to be kept and shown — not tucked away in a drawer.

Fit & Everyday Wearability

At 42mm across and 10.9mm thick, the Odyssey sits comfortably in classic field-watch territory — substantial enough to feel special, restrained enough for daily wear. The rugged calf leather strap on a 20mm lug width, secured with a pin buckle, delivers all-day comfort without compromising the rugged field-watch aesthetic Hamilton is known for.

Authenticity & Buying With Confidence

Because this is a strictly limited run of 2,112 pieces, demand is expected to move faster than supply. Lexor Miami is an authorized Hamilton dealer, meaning every Odyssey Limited Edition we sell ships with full Hamilton documentation and is backed by Hamilton's 2-year international warranty — the same protection you'd get buying directly from the brand.

Caring for a Bronze Watch

A quick note for new bronze owners: patina is a feature, not a flaw. Skin oils, humidity, and daily wear will gradually darken and shift the case's tone over time, and many collectors consider that evolving character part of the appeal. If you'd prefer to slow the process, wipe the case down after wear and store it somewhere dry; if you want to reset it, a gentle bronze polish will bring back the original brushed look, though most Odyssey owners let it develop naturally.
