What to know
Hamilton refreshes the Khaki Navy Scuba Auto 40mm with wave-textured lacquered dials and redesigned bezel typography. The updated collection introduces nautical colour combinations that make the daily-wear dive-inspired watch feel more playful without losing its broad markers and legible hands. The stamped wave pattern gives the dial depth, especially when the light moves across its surface.

The stainless-steel 40 mm case combines a unidirectional timing bezel, screw-down crown, sapphire crystal and 100-metre water resistance. Hamilton's H-10 automatic movement delivers an 80-hour power reserve. Selected versions come on steel bracelets or coloured rubber straps, offering a more understated or sporty appearance depending on the configuration.

Hamilton announced the collection update in May 2026. Rather than treating each dial shade as a separate release, ChronoLume covers the wave-dial update as one story, reflecting the shared design and specifications across the collection.
