This Beloved Hamilton Dive Watch Has a Bold New Color
Hamilton's dive watches can be seen in some of Christopher Nolan's biggest films, and this new special edition Khaki Navy brings bright yellow accents.
American-born, Switzerland-based watchmaker Hamilton continues to produce some of the world’s finest watches at some of the best prices. And for film lovers and filmmakers, the brand is known for its stellar cameos, especially in Christopher Nolan movies. You can find the watches in Oppenheimer, Interstellar, and Tenet.
Now, the brand has unveiled a new edition of one of its most iconic ticking scene stealers, the Khaki Navy BeLOWZERO Auto Titanium diver watch, which, for the first time, comes in a luminous yellow color, representing a new chapter in both style and function for this deep sea-dwelling favorite.

The Khaki Navy BeLOWZERO Auto Titanium watch appeared in both Tenet and The Martian and continues to be one of Hamilton’s best offerings. Until now, however, the watch—along with its 46mm titanium case—was only available in stealth black. Its new yellow edition is made specifically to fit deep sea expeditions. The reason has to do with light waves getting fractured by water, but all you need to know is that yellow, combined with high-contrast markers, is among the most visible colors in coastal waters. Making things even cooler, the watch is water resistant up to 1,000 meters, and if pressure exceeds safety limits a valve will open to release the excess pressure to protect the internal mechanisms.
The yellow can be seen in the watch’s rubber strap and hands. It also carries a bit of a fun Beatles reference, as the timepiece is inspired by deep water adventure and when paired with its 46mm brushed titanium case is reminiscent of the bulk of a, yes, yellow submarine.

The watch itself features an automatic movement and has an 80-hour power reserve. The face is gray with white and yellow second/minute markers. It’s 15.7mm thick and known for its lightweight feel.
Like most Hamilton watches, the Khaki Navy BeLOWZERO Auto Titanium also comes with a surprisingly reasonable price tag: $1,745.
