Coincidentally, Hamilton watches play a pretty major role in the movie Interstellar. This is like the movie Interstellar, if an actual astronaut wrote it. The real enemies for our hero are the cold realities of space, science, and the laws of physics. There aren’t aliens or supernatural creatures. Basically, it’s Robinson Crusoe in space… on Mars (with, of course, all of Earth rallying for the rescue of one dude). If you aren’t familiar with the plot of The Martian, let me explain it to you. I hope that Matt Damon’s Mark Watney character wears the Hamilton Khaki Navy BelowZero (a bit better like that, right?) watch while trying to survive on Mars. Inside the watch is a Swiss ETA 2826 automatic movement. This reference H78585333 all black “phantom” version comes in 46mm-wide steel case with a rotating diver’s bezel. As a diving watch, the Hamilton Below Zero (sorry, I just can’t keep writing “BeLOWZERO…” I don’t want to “be a lowzero!”) is water resistant to 1000 meters (with a helium escape valve and 5.6mm-thick sapphire crystal) and should probably handle the depths of space pretty well.
It was actually a clever choice for the producers to pick, even if Hamilton probably wanted them to choose a newer model. The Hamilton Khaki Navy BeLOWZERO does tend to fit the interesting aesthetics of the movie, its gear, vehicles, and structures. With that said, it is still up to the movie makers what watches to use – and sometimes they just ask watch makers they work with (like Hamilton) to create something unique. You see, Hamilton has a nice reputation among movie makers as a friendly watch brand to work with.
I am pretty sure it wasn’t Hamilton’s idea to include such an old model, but rather the wishes of The Martian‘s producers. (If you don't have copies of them lying around, search on your favorite streaming service or video on demand.Those who know watches will probably be asking themselves “isn’t that a relatively old (though modern) Hamilton watch?” That’s true, actually, as the Hamilton Khaki Navy Below Zero (as it was more logically called back then – what exactly does “BeLOWZERO” mean, exactly?) was originally released in around 2008 ( check our aBlogtoWatch article on the Hamilton Khaki Navy Below Zero watch here from years back). Here are 100 movies to watch (or perhaps, in some cases, revisit) that are perfect for every mood you might be feeling in the coming days and weeks. (Well, that and avoiding being part of the outbreak.) Thankfully, there are many, many flicks – ranging from the fantastic to the fantastically bad – that offer some escape and comfort in a storm of distressing news. With movie theaters closed and blockbusters-in-waiting being postponed all the way to next year, it's a lot for a film fan to take in. And whether working from home or just chilling, it’s good to take a cinematic break when you’re social distancing during the coronavirus crisis. You’re stuck inside, we’re stuck inside, Idris Elba's stuck inside, everybody's stuck inside. Watch Video: Coronavirus: John Legend, Coldplay hosting online concerts
