Hamilton x Resident Evil Requiem

Hamilton has announced a significant expansion of its presence in the video game industry through a partnership with Capcom for the upcoming title, Resident Evil Requiem. This collaboration introduces two limited-edition timepieces designed to function as authentic elements within the game’s narrative while existing as physical products for collectors. The project focuses on two central characters, Leon S. Kennedy and Grace Ashcroft, assigning each a specific watch model that reflects their background, profession, and role within the survival horror setting. These releases are not merely branded merchandise but are integrated directly into the character designs and gameplay experience.

The narrative backdrop for these watches is set thirty years after the initial Raccoon City outbreak, a timeline that places the characters in a world shaped by long-term consequences of biological terror. The design philosophy mirrors this mature, hardened setting. Rather than opting for bright, arcade-style aesthetics, Hamilton has utilized black PVD coatings and tactical materials to align with the game’s dark, tension-filled atmosphere. The result is a pair of watches that prioritize thematic consistency with the Resident Evil universe, specifically tailoring the hardware to the personalities of a veteran agent and a calculated analyst.



Leon S. Kennedy, a staple character of the franchise, is paired with a customized version of the Khaki Field Auto Chrono. This model is built around a 42mm stainless steel case treated with a black PVD coating, giving it a matte, stealth-oriented appearance suitable for a field agent. The dimensions include a height of 14.5mm, which allows the watch to sit substantially on the wrist, reinforcing its identity as a piece of gear rather than a dress accessory. The total lug-to-lug width is 20mm, a standard size that balances the heavy case head with a proportional strap attachment.

The visual details of the Khaki Field Auto Chrono are heavily influenced by military hardware. The chronograph pushers located on the right side of the case are shaped to resemble bullet cartridges, a direct nod to the ammunition management that defines the game’s survival mechanics. The crown itself mimics the adjustment knob of a sniper scope, featuring distinct knurling that suggests easy manipulation even while wearing gloves. These tactile elements serve to ground the watch in the reality of the character’s combat experience.

On the dial, the Khaki Field Auto Chrono features a bi-compax layout with subdials at the 12 and 6 o’clock positions. The background is a deep, flat black, ensuring high contrast for the markers. A standout feature is the wing emblem located at the 9 o’clock position. This graphic is not standard to the Khaki line and represents a memorial to fallen comrades, adding a layer of somber storytelling to the instrument. The chronograph seconds hand is tipped in red, providing a sharp, functional pop of color against the monochrome palette, which aids in legibility during timing operations.



The strap chosen for Leon’s watch is a black synthetic model with a distinct structural pattern. The texture resembles the grip surfacing found on tactical firearms or the woven pattern of ballistic nylon gear. It secures with an H-pin buckle, designed to prevent accidental detachment during strenuous activity. This choice of material aligns with the practical needs of a character who is constantly in motion and exposed to environmental hazards.

Internally, the Khaki Field Auto Chrono is powered by the H-21 automatic chronograph movement. This caliber is a robust engine based on the reliable Valjoux architecture, modified to increase the power reserve to 60 hours. It operates at a high frequency to ensure precision in time measurement, a critical factor for a character whose survival often depends on split-second decisions. The movement also features a Nivachron balance spring, an alloy developed to resist magnetic fields, which protects the watch's accuracy in environments filled with electronic interference.

Flipping the watch over reveals an exhibition caseback that offers a view into the mechanical heart of the piece. The rotor is customized with a distinct graphic logo, printed in black, which partially obscures the movement components beneath. This logo matches the wing motif seen on the dial, creating a cohesive visual identity from front to back. The sapphire crystal on both the front and back is treated with anti-reflective coating, ensuring that the view of the dial and movement remains clear regardless of lighting conditions.

The second timepiece in the collection is the American Classic Pan Europ, worn by the character Grace Ashcroft. As an FBI analyst, Ashcroft’s role is defined by intellect and deduction rather than brute force, and her watch reflects this through a sharper, more geometric aesthetic. The Pan Europ utilizes a cushion-shaped case, also 42mm in diameter and coated in black PVD, but it presents a slimmer profile with a height of 11.9mm. This reduction in thickness makes it more suitable for wear under a shirt cuff or jacket, fitting the profile of an investigator.



The design theme for Grace’s watch is described as "gold & noir," utilizing gold accents to cut through the black exterior. A unidirectional rotating bezel surrounds the dial, featuring gold numerals against a black ring. This creates a highly legible scale for tracking elapsed time. The use of gold here is not ostentatious; it serves to highlight key information and adds a layer of visual sophistication that contrasts with the pure utility of the Khaki Field model.

The dial of the Pan Europ features a circular brushed finishing, often referred to as a sunray effect, which catches the light differently than the matte dial of Leon’s watch. Applied black indexes are filled with gold-colored Super-LumiNova, ensuring that the watch remains readable in low-light conditions while maintaining the color scheme. The hands are similarly treated, reinforcing the premium look of the piece. A day and date window is positioned at 3 o’clock, providing essential calendar information for an analyst managing timelines and data.

The strap on the Pan Europ is a significant departure from the synthetic option found on the chronograph. It is crafted from black leather with a crocodile pattern, lending it a classic, almost vintage air. A bold gold line runs down the absolute center of the strap, creating a racing-stripe effect that draws the eye and physically connects the strap to the gold accents on the watch head. This strap is paired with a folding clasp, which minimizes wear on the leather and allows for quick removal.



Mechanically, the Pan Europ is driven by the H-30 automatic movement. This caliber is a three-hand engine with a day-date complication and boasts an impressive 80-hour power reserve. This extended autonomy means the watch can be left off the wrist for more than three days without stopping, a practical feature for modern wearers. Like the chronograph movement, the H-30 is equipped with a Nivachron balance spring, ensuring resilience against temperature fluctuations and magnetism.

The caseback of the Pan Europ also features an exhibition window, but the customization here takes a different form. The rotor is adorned with a geometric motif resembling a tesseract or a wireframe cube in gold. This design element speaks to the character’s analytical nature, evoking complex structures and problem-solving. It offers a stark contrast to the organic wing shape found on the Khaki Field, further differentiating the two protagonists through visual storytelling.

Both watches are built to withstand the rigors of daily wear, though they offer different levels of protection. The Khaki Field Auto Chrono is water-resistant to 10 bar (100 meters), making it suitable for swimming and general outdoor exposure. The Pan Europ is rated to 5 bar (50 meters), which is sufficient for protection against splashes and rain but indicates a less aquatic focus. Both models utilize sapphire crystals, a material second only to diamond in hardness, ensuring the faces remain free of scratches.

The collaboration represents a continued effort by Hamilton to integrate its products meaningfully into entertainment media. While the brand has a long history with cinema, appearing in hundreds of films, its venture into video games allows for a different kind of interactivity. In Resident Evil Requiem, the watches are not just props; they are persistent items on the character models that players will view for hours on end. This requires a high level of fidelity in the digital assets to match the physical products, bridging the gap between the virtual and real worlds.



Collectors and gamers will find that these timepieces are produced in strictly limited numbers. Only 2,000 units of each model will be manufactured for worldwide distribution. This scarcity ensures that they remain exclusive items for dedicated fans of the franchise and watch enthusiasts who appreciate the specific design language of the collaboration. The packaging is expected to reflect the game’s branding, offering a complete presentation for those who manage to acquire one.

The release date for both the Khaki Field Auto Chrono and the American Classic Pan Europ is scheduled for February 27, 2026, coinciding with the launch of the game. Pricing reflects the technical complexity of the respective models. The Khaki Field Auto Chrono, with its complex chronograph mechanism, will retail for $2,175 USD. The American Classic Pan Europ, offering a three-hand layout with day-date functionality, is priced at $1,475 USD. Both will be available through authorized retailers, offering a tangible piece of the survival horror experience.
