Hamilton Jazzmaster Chrono Owner Review : Efficient, athletic and chic

I bought this Hamilton at the beginning of my romance with watches. I was quickly attracted to chronographs, but unfortunately I couldn't afford a Daytona or a Speedmaster. No problem, I found my pleasure with this chronograph with the assertive design of a historic brand (and in particular for chronographs). I wore it a lot, and with it I feel like I'm stronger because it's so imposing (42mm all the same and a nice thickness of almost 15mm). It has a lot of assets to defend itself, the dial is super well worked and full of details, all giving a rendering as elegant as sporty. An open back allows you to appreciate the Valjoux 7750 decorated by Hamilton. The precision is good and the power reserve comfortable for me who likes to change watches daily. I appreciate the integration of the pushers and the crown signed by this chronograph. The crown is not screwed but the water resistance is announced at 100m, which is appreciable on a chronograph (moreover I did many dives of 4-5m with it before knowing that it was not at all recommended). I like its comfort even if I find it today a little heavy and bulky compared to my new watches which are often smaller. In short it is an excellent instrument to measure the cooking time of pasta! The big plus is that it is easy to find this model second-hand and to treat yourself to a mechanical chronograph for a few hundred euros.
