The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

Tissot PRX digital, 40 mm. I bought it about ten days ago and almost left a review immediately. That would have been a mistake, given the initial rush. The quartz movement/price ratio seemed unfair, especially since the functions are so basic! But then, as the days went by, the perceived quality, the comfort, and its certain elegance made me change my mind...or almost. Why PRX? Is the brand solid enough to create a different design and name? Given the success of the original model, I understand the continuation. This model is just as heavy as the automatic version. The readability is good. An important detail: the discount applied at the time of purchase. I wouldn't have bought it at full price. A good buy nonetheless.

Why PRX?

Citizen BM8560-45L, Eco-Drive, Titanium, 42 mm...
I could have found tons of different review titles.
What can I say...Given the "thickness" of the Citizen group, they can afford to release models like this.
Titanium case, solar quartz movement, calfskin strap for around 180 euros with the sales...The latter is heavier than the case!
Lightness, readability, reliability, water resistance...I got the all-blue model, which is as pretty as it is discreet.
In the morning, don't want to wind an automatic? It's always available; it's comfortable.
The only downside is the small size of the date/day window, which isn't very legible. No big deal.
Too perfect? No, just ideal for everyday reading.
Top buy.

Do as I do, wear a...

Codhor watch, from the 80s, bought less than 10 years ago in NOS condition on eBay...about 36 mm in diameter, hand-wound...never serviced, keeps time perfectly with a power reserve of about 40 hours!!!...You have to wonder if you should spend more?!...fortunately there is something else, than the utilitarian side, in the passion for watches...I rarely wear it but I am happy to own one in this condition, it reminds me of another era with this famous ad.

Codhor watch, I love it...(easy...)

Swatch Obsidian Shimmer, 40 mm
Very flat metal case, metal pin buckle, very supple silicone strap. Very comfortable and very readable. Its dial could be mesmerizing. No lume for nighttime use, which is a shame. No second hand, extremely silent. Impulse purchase at a price (€215) that I find excessive for such a watch.

A silent but expensive Swatch...

Swatch Cobblestone, 40 mm.
A pleasant watch for summer. As light as a plastic Swatch! Its gray color is unique due to the transparent case back, which reveals the mechanism. It's easy to read with its blue indexes and red hands. The strap is very flexible, which is pleasant. I own a few Swatch watches, and this is by far the loudest... a real 80s alarm clock!!! Irreplaceable for keeping accurate time every day.

Light, readable, precise...but noisy!

HAMILTON Khaki Field Expedition, 41 mm, automatic, blue background...
It reminds me of watches from the 80s, the Camel Trophy, especially the bezel. Personally, I wouldn't wear it for canyoning, hiking, or any other dynamic activity; G-Shock does better. But for everyday use or for a discovery trip, it will do the job perfectly. It exudes quality. From the moment you wind it manually, you can feel the solidity of the mechanism. Perfect readability, 3 hands... the basics. The strap is good, the stitching ensures good strength, even during a stay in humid areas, you won't risk losing the case (experience...). The motor is excellent, with an 80-hour power reserve, which is comfortable. The only downside is the design of the pin buckle, which is square and doesn't really match. I was just saying something! During this sales period, it remains very interesting as an impulse purchase!!!

She has everything going for her...

The Hamilton brand is an icon in the world of watchmaking which brilliantly combines American know-how and the finesse of Swiss watchmaking tradition. Founded in 1892 by Webster Clay Ball in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the brand Hamilton quickly acquired a reputation for quality, precision and reliability, notably thanks to its pocket watches used by railway workers to avoid accidents on American railways.
<h2 dir="ltr">History of the Hamilton brand</h2>
However, it was truly from the 1950s that the brand began to make its mark on the history of modern watchmaking. In 1957, Hamilton revolutionized the world of watchmaking by introducing the world's first electric watch, the Hamilton Electric 500. This watch, although imperfect, paved the way for a new era of electric and quartz watches, in which will engulf<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/lip"> LIP</a> with the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/lip/electronic"> LIP Electronic</a>,<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/bulova"> Bulova</a> with the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/bulova/accutron"> Bulova Accutron</a> and of course<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/seiko"> Seiko</a> with the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/seiko/quartz"> Seiko Quartz</a>.
The 1960s marked another pivotal moment for Hamilton. The brand entered the world of cinema by equipping Elvis Presley with a Hamilton Ventura in the film &ldquo;Loving You&rdquo; in particular. Hamilton thus extended its influence to the entertainment industry, becoming the watch of choice for many movie characters.
In 1974, Hamilton was in serious financial difficulties and was bought by the Swiss holding company SSIH, the ancestor with ASUAG of the current Swatch Group. This acquisition marks the beginning of a new era for Hamilton, which now combines bold American design with Swiss watchmaking excellence.
These key dates in Hamilton's history reveal a resolutely avant-garde brand, always seeking innovation and precision. Hamilton has been able to adapt to technological and cultural developments, while preserving its unique identity.
<h2 dir="ltr">What are the iconic models of the Hamilton brand?</h2>
Hamilton's rich heritage is reflected in the diversity of its collections, which meet the needs of watch enthusiasts from all walks of life. Among the brand's flagship models, we find:
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/hamilton/ventura">Hamilton Ventura</a></h3>
The Hamilton Ventura is probably the brand's most iconic model. With its bold shield-shaped case designed by American designer Richard Arbib (also behind the Hamilton Pacer and Hamilton Meteor models in particular), its water resistance up to 50 meters, its comfortable leather strap, its movement precise quartz, its elegant silver dial and its date complication, the Ventura is a symbol of innovation and aesthetics. It was this watch that Elvis Presley wore for the first time in 1961 in the film &ldquo;Blue Hawaii&rdquo;, which contributed to his legendary aura.
<h3 dir="ltr">Hamilton Khaki Navy Frogman</h3>
The Hamilton Khaki Navy Frogman is a robust and reliable dive watch. Featuring a 42mm titanium case, impressive water resistance up to 100 ATM, durable rubber strap, H-10 automatic movement with 80 hour power reserve, a black dial with luminous indexes and a date complication, this watch is designed to withstand the most extreme conditions. It takes its name from the 1951 film "The Frogmen", in which US Navy divers were equipped with Hamilton watches. An additional illustration of the close ties maintained by Hamilton with the film industry and in particular the Hollywood studios.
<h3 dir="ltr">Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic</h3>
The Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic is a classic and refined watch. It features a 40mm stainless steel case, water resistance up to 5 ATM, stylish leather strap, Swiss automatic movement, silver dial with applied indexes and date complication. Its particularity lies in its transparent background which allows you to admire the movement.&nbsp;
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/hamilton/khaki_field">Hamilton Khaki Field</a></h3>
The Hamilton Khaki Field is the symbol of the brand's military past. Equipped with a 38mm stainless steel case, water resistance up to 5 ATM, sturdy canvas strap, H-10 automatic movement with 80 hour power reserve, matte black dial with luminous indexes and a date complication, this watch is a tribute to the soldiers' watches used during World War II. We cannot think of the Hamilton Khaki Field without thinking of the Hamilton Khaki Field Murph Auto which became, thanks to the film Interstellar, one of the most sought-after Hamiltons.
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/hamilton/khaki_navy">Hamilton Khaki Navy</a></h3>
The Hamilton Khaki Navy is a collection dedicated to the sea and diving. One of its flagship representatives, the Khaki Navy Scuba, features a 40 mm stainless steel case, water resistance up to 10 ATM, a steel bracelet, an automatic movement, a blue dial evoking the depths of the ocean with luminous indexes, and a date complication.
<h3 dir="ltr">Hamilton Khaki Aviation</h3>
The Hamilton Khaki Aviation is designed for aviation enthusiasts. The model<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/hamilton/khaki_aviation_day_date"> Hamilton Khaki Aviation Day-Date</a>, for example, features a sturdy 44mm stainless steel case, water resistance up to 10 ATM, brown leather strap, H-30 automatic movement with 80 hour power reserve, a black dial with a lateral drift calculation scale, and date and day complications.
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/hamilton/psr">Hamilton PSR</a></h3>
The Hamilton PSR is a modern reinterpretation of the first digital LED watch, the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/pulsar/p2"> Pulsar P2</a> from 1970, popularized for being the watch of James Bond and Roger Moore in Live and Let Die in 1974. The PSR features a 40.8 x 34.7 mm stainless steel case, water resistance up to 10 ATM, a steel bracelet, a unique hybrid quartz movement with an OLED display and LCD technology, and a dial that lights up at the press of a button.
<h3 dir="ltr">Hamilton American Classic</h3>
Finally, the American Classic is a collection that pays homage to Hamilton's American history. The Intra-Matic Auto model, for example, offers a 40 mm stainless steel case, water resistance up to 5 ATM, a brown leather strap, an H-10 automatic movement, a silver dial in a style Vintage with stick indexes and a date complication.
These watches embody the spirit of Hamilton: a combination of functionality, design, history and innovation in a price range between &euro; 700 and &euro; 2,500 for a mechanical model.
<h2 dir="ltr">How much does a Hamilton watch cost?</h2>
Hamilton offers several dozen new references whose prices vary between $375 for a Hamilton Khaki-Field Quartz and $12,000 for a Hamliton Ventura Quartz in 18k gold. Most Hamilton are sold between $500 and $1,000. Prices can also fluctuate depending on the distributor, and promotions sometimes allow you to benefit from a more competitive price. The second-hand market is also an opportunity to look at to buy a cheaper Hamilton.
<h2 dir="ltr">Hamilton: The most American of Swiss brands</h2>
Hamilton positions itself in the watchmaking landscape as a brand that combines the best of two worlds: American pragmatism and innovation, and Swiss precision and quality. Its watches are recognized for their robustness, precision and unique design, making Hamilton a brand of choice for watch enthusiasts looking for a quality product at an accessible price.
Hamilton's story is that of a brand that has innovated and reinvented itself, while remaining true to its roots. Whether in the field of cinema, aviation or diving, Hamilton has always been able to meet the needs of its customers with reliable, functional and aesthetic watches.
Hamilton is a brand rich in history and innovation, which has carved out a place of choice in the world of watchmaking.
