While many people look forward to the extra day off that a three day weekend provides, the thing that we look forward to most is the four day work week that follows.  Though your first day back in the office may be a bit more hectic than usual, from that point on, the week always seems to fly by.  To make sure you don’t totally lose track of time, you may want to pick up a Khaki Field Watch (prices vary) by Hamilton.

Hamilton was founded in Lancaster, PA in 1892, and has been turning out high quality timepieces ever since.  Their watches feature fantastic Swiss movement, and are so well made that Hamilton had to stop selling watches to the public for a short time in the 40’s in order to fill a one million piece order for the US Military.  As you will see, the Khaki Field Watch draws some inspiration from military watches of the past.  With a 42mm case that is made of stainless steel and an overall classic look, the watch is waterproof to 100 meters, and features a scratch resistant sapphire crystal.  We love the simple brown leather strap that accompanies the watch from the factory, but the Khaki is also looks great with a nylon strap for weekend use.  If you are looking for a solid every day watch that will give you the quality of a very high end timepiece without breaking the bank, definitely take a look at a Hamilton.
