Hamilton Odyssey is the baby that was born from the collaboration with Christopher Nolan.You saw this collaboration before, in Interstellar, in Tenet, in Oppenheimer. The new Khaki Field Auto The Odyssey Limited Edition won’t show up in a single frame of the movie it’s named after, and there’s a simple reason why. The film is set in the Bronze Age, long before anyone strapped a watch to their wrist. So instead of a prop, Hamilton built a tribute.
The Odyssey hits theaters on July 17, 2026, and it’s Nolan’s take on Homer’s epic, with Matt Damon playing Odysseus. Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, and Lupita Nyong’o round out the cast, with Zendaya and Charlize Theron also on board. Big names, big story, and now a watch that borrows its mythology.
They used Bronze because… Bronze age?
Hamilton’s Khaki Field Automatic is a familiar shape. You know the 42mm case, the military roots, the no-nonsense field watch look. Here, Hamilton swapped the usual steel or titanium for bronze, and it fits. Bronze is what the warriors in the film would have carried into battle, on their armor and their weapons. It also means the case will pick up its own patina over time, so no two watches will age the same way.
The case stays at 42mm across and 10.9mm thick, with a domed sapphire crystal and double anti-reflective coating on top. Flip it over and you’ll find a titanium caseback, engraved with Odysseus’ helmet and Nolan’s own signature. Water resistance holds at 100 meters, so this isn’t just a display piece.
A dial built around the story
This is where Hamilton had the most fun. The dial is black with a vertical brushed texture that echoes the pattern on Odysseus’ helmet in the film. The hands are shaped like a sword and a spear, both in a bronze tone, standing in for the hero’s weapon. Even the marker at 12 o’clock has a job to do. It’s shaped like a rivet from the sword’s scabbard.
Hamilton also added a decorative frieze around the dial, though the hour markers seen in early sketches didn’t make the final cut. Super-LumiNova on the hands keeps things legible after dark, so the field watch DNA is still there under the theme.
What’s ticking inside
Hamilton Odyssey has the H-10 automatic movement for this one, built on the ETA C07.611 base, the same engine behind the Powermatic 80. It runs at 21,600 vibrations per hour and stores 80 hours of power reserve, so you can take the weekend off and it’ll still be running Monday morning. A Nivachron balance spring adds extra resistance to magnetic fields and temperature swings.
The strap and the extras
Hamilton Odyssey comes on a brown grained leather strap with heavy central stitching and a titanium pin buckle. Every buyer also gets a replica of Athena’s pin, the talisman Penelope gives Odysseus in the film, packed inside a specially designed box.
Hamilton is capping production at 2,112 pieces. That number isn’t random. Homer’s story leans on the number 12 again and again, and Hamilton wanted the edition size to nod to that. Price is US$1,495

I like it but I don’t at the same time
Hamilton shows up in a lot of movies and games. The Call of Duty collaboration, the Ventura in Men in Black. Those watches I love, and I think they look great. But I fail to see the connection between The Odyssey and Hamilton here.
Take the James Bond watches. We get to see them in action, even the ones from the games, like the Seamaster Chronograph 007 First Light. Watching them on screen, even as a render in a video game, builds a real connection between the movie, the character, and the watch. That might not happen here. Actually, I know it won’t happen, because they didn’t have watches back in Odysseus’ time.
That makes me a little sad. This might be the most beautiful watch Hamilton has ever made for a collaboration, and it won’t appear in the movie at all.
