What can I say about this watch whose diameter is the largest in my collection: 45mm? Well Seiko are magicians. They managed to make me wear a "big" watch even though I have a chicken wrist! It really sits perfectly on my wrist. In terms of precision, I have it and wear it almost every day - it moves forward 5 seconds / day which is very very good!! On the other hand, the quality of the steel seems very low because I bumped into a door and a big scratch on one of the horns appeared. With a little elbow grease and sandpaper (grain 240 then 1000 then 3000) I managed to erase this ugly mark made at work and which would not have reminded me of a good memory. I am very satisfied with this watch with its vintage look, I quickly got the black strap because it was too big and I ordered the Seiko strap from the SRPE99k1 which suits it very well. The bezel turns perfectly but does not seem as qualitative as some other watches that I have been able to test but better than the SKX
The lume is also a great strength of Seiko and this is confirmed with this watch on which I have no trouble reading the time in the morning in the dark.


A Ninja Turtle

This Steinhart has its own identity even if it is indeed a tribute: the original logo distinguishes it and brings a fun side to this watch. The proportions of the 39mm are perfect for small wrists!! The proportions of the watch on this size reinforce the design of the watch: the indexes are closer together which brings a plus in the aesthetics of the watch. In terms of the caliber, it is equipped with a sellita SW200 -2 which delays by about 2 - 5 seconds per day (this is an average observed over a month when worn) The luminova is not its strong point compared to Seiko but it still shines well at night and in the morning I can read the time when I wake up.

Steinhart O1 39 mm: good value for money!!

Thank you Hamilton for thinking of chicken wrists!! This Murph 38 is really superb!! Very elegant and at the same time sporty like a field. The work on the case and the bezel is superb with an alternation of polished and brushed. The original design contributes to giving this watch its character with its cathedral hand. Small downsides: the bracelet, very hard and the Lume ... disappointing next to Seiko. Too bad for 100m of water resistance that we do not have a screwed crown but hey we are not going to complain 100m is better than the other Field at 50m. 
I wear it often but not enough because of my damn addiction to the date ... and yes we have problems in life 😉 in short I love this watch and in addition, it seems that it is famous thanks to its appearance in a film ...

Murph 38

Positive points: dial, large crown easy to grab and nicely decorated with clou de Paris, unidirectional rotating bezel pleasant to handle clou de Paris, pretty hands with detail on the seconds hand painted in red originality on the dial. Well-crafted case pleasant to wear and allows this large watch to be worn on a small wrist, proportions of the watch pleasant despite its 43mm diameter does not seem so big when worn. Negative points: +54sec/day on purchase => Seiko after-sales service => +45 sec/day my watchmaker confirms the drift and tells me that it is not waterproof!! While it is new! Unsigned crown, too bad no sapphire crystal, too bad

Seiko SRPB51K1 

When I received this SKX ordered this summer 2023 I remember the emotion caused when I received it. It was THE watch that I would have liked to have when I was younger when I wore festina that did not last very long on my wrist. The emotion quickly went down the same day when I saw that it was moving forward by 20 minutes per hour!!! After disassembly, changing the balance spring and adjustment, it is now around -15 / +15 seconds per day which suits me
Aesthetically there is nothing to complain about. The lume is excellent. It is super well proportioned even for my small wrist. It is a winner that would have deserved a permanent place in the Seiko collection


Mythical

I have had this Khaki for about 4 years. It is powered by a mechanical movement and is referenced 9415a. It dates from the 90s, and measures 33.4 x 41.2mm. It is a pretty Field that is well known today. Its only flaw: its water resistance: 3 atm… but since it is not a diver but a field!! It has a domed plexiglass. The movement is apparently an ETA2801 17 jewels.

My khaki is a survivor

I have owned the Gshock GW7900 1st for over 4 years and I am VERY satisfied with it. A true bodyguard for my automatic watches, it dresses my wrist for all situations that pose a risk to our beautiful (fragile) watches. Equipped with a battery recharged by the sun, it sets the time automatically by radio frequency. It displays the moon phases, tide coefficients and of course all the other classic features of a gShock: stopwatch ... of unfailing solidity: my wrist will break before this watch! An excellent substitute for those who love watches but want to protect their mechanical timepieces from extreme situations

My G-Shock is muscular

A very well-known and versatile design! The 39 mm is really very well proportioned and ideal for thin wrists!!! I really appreciated the unpacking of the watch which was qualitative, the adjustment of the bracelet is easy. 2 points of improvement: a space at the bracelet level and the traceability compared to the caliber: ETA or SW200. The watch seems very qualitative and I immediately wanted to have a second one. So yes it is a tribute watch but one that does not beat around the bush!! Do you like the Rolex submariner but you do not want or have the possibility to put 5 to 8k€ in a watch? This one is for me, by far the best since I consider it as a full-fledged automatic watch with its beating heart and not a simple extra, having the second role!

My ocean one 39 is perfectly proportioned

<p dir="ltr">The <strong>Hamilton</strong> brand is an icon in the world of watchmaking which brilliantly combines American know-how and the finesse of Swiss watchmaking tradition. Founded in <strong>1892</strong> 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.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">History of the Hamilton brand</h2>
<p dir="ltr">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>.</p>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">What are the iconic models of the Hamilton brand?</h2>
<p dir="ltr">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:</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/hamilton/ventura">Hamilton Ventura</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">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, <strong>the Ventura is a symbol of innovation and aesthetics</strong>. 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.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Hamilton Khaki Navy Frogman</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The <strong>Hamilton Khaki Navy Frogman is a robust and reliable dive watch</strong>. 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.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic</h3>
<p dir="ltr">The <strong>Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic is a classic and refined watch</strong>. 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;</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/hamilton/khaki_field">Hamilton Khaki Field</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">The <strong>Hamilton Khaki Field is the symbol of the brand's military past</strong>. 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.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/hamilton/khaki_navy">Hamilton Khaki Navy</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Hamilton Khaki Aviation</h3>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr"><a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/hamilton/psr">Hamilton PSR</a></h3>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<h3 dir="ltr">Hamilton American Classic</h3>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">How much does a Hamilton watch cost?</h2>
<p dir="ltr">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. <strong>Most Hamilton are sold between $500 and $1,000</strong>. 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.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Hamilton: The most American of Swiss brands</h2>

<p dir="ltr">(Updated December 2023)</p>

I discovered this watch in the movie Interstellar and when I saw it in real life I completely fell for it. I was amazed by the quality offered for a really reasonable price. I added a tropic-type strap (www.rubstrap.com) which fits it perfectly to replace its original strap which I found a little too rigid for my taste. For those who like Xavier have a chicken wrist 🤣, this Tropic is perfect in its dimensions. Indeed the largest end measures only 115mm compared to 130 on most models of the kind. The diameter 38 is perfectly adapted to a 16cm wrist. In short, I can only recommend this watch, a safe bet.

Hamilton Khaki Field Murph 38mm

Finally Hamilton has answered Interstellar fans. This version of the khaki field murph in 38 mm is really great with its short horns. The vintage side is still present with indexes and magnificent cathedral hands in a patinated color. The finish is superb and they added an anti-reflective coating to the domed sapphire crystal that did not exist on the 42 mm. A simple 3-hand watch typical of Field Watch but classy at the same time. The mirror polish and brushing are very effective and the matte black dial is discreet and versatile. The alligator-type strap is not bad even if I would have preferred it to be thinner. The stitching matches the indexes and hands. And no offense to some, there is no Morse code inscription on the second hand and that's a good thing! In this format, the most beautiful khaki field!

The Murph in 38mm!

Having a military watch from my grandfather Jaeger in renovation, a simple watch, 3 hands, very readable, tempted it more and more. A "military" watch ticked all the boxes and Hamilton is a good ambassador. The release of the Murph, but in 39, with its colors was perfect for me. Just the too shiny bracelet did not please me. I opted by chance on a very inexpensive "paratrooper" bracelet which is so suitable that it could have been delivered originally. Military watch and paratrooper bracelet what could be more logical.

Back to basics, and a nod to a family watch

<p>Cr&eacute;&eacute;e en 2017 par le designer Nicolas Ducoudert, <strong>Beaubleu apporte une dimension nouvelle &agrave; l&rsquo;horlogerie</strong> en cr&eacute;ant des montres &agrave; la fois esth&eacute;tiques, &eacute;tonnantes et profond&eacute;ment symboliques.
