Hamilton recently teamed up with Conservation International and Harrison Ford to create the “Khaki Conservation” edition. They’ve created a “eco-friendly” version of the Khaki Navy GMT with special design elements. It’s a limited edition using recycled material for the packaging, and Hamilton has pledged to donate the proceeds to Conservation International.
The movement is a 21 jewel automatic with a sapphire crystal, and a see-through back printed with Harrison Ford’s signature and the Conservation International logo.
Retailing for around $1100, it’s one of the sharpest watches we’ve seen from Hamilton in a long time.
Thank you for reading this WristWatchReview post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
WristWatchReview is one of the few remaining truly independent watch news outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent watch sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis. We don't play the games the other sites play and we've paid for it when it comes to ad revenue.
We would love for you to support us on Patreon and every little bit helps. Thank you.

Great review of this watch. Definitely agree its the best thing Hamilton is put out in a while.
We actually interviewed the President of Hamilton recently and he spoke about this watch

Nice watch, but should an “eco-friendly” “conservationist” watch really have a leather band? I mean, seems a little hypocritical given that on the product page Ford says, “[o]ur health relies entirely on the vitality of our fellow species on Earth.”
Good article about this watch. Its a lovely timepiece with a really clear face. Smart!
Fabulous watch and inexpensive too!
It’s too expensive for a watch but it’s worth it!

I highly doubt that these guys kill wild animals to make their leather straps. The strap is probably made from a skin of some poor calf or a cow that was anyway killed a couple of days ago for its meat.
Anyway, what’s the alternative for leather? Rubber, silicone? You will have to waste even more energy to make this kind of a strap.
Fabulous watch and inexpensive too!
it does not look so eco-friendly to me.
