Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic Skeleton Automatic H42555751 Men’s Watch: Traditional, Precision, Wallet-Friendly Timekeeping

Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic Skeleton Automatic H42555751 Men’s Watch

While the general mindset about skeletonised watches about being more expensive than the rest stops the most of us from laying our respective hands on one, Hamilton taps gently into that space and presents all that extra engineering and hard work to create a beautiful, timekeeping machine – the Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic Skeleton Automatic H42555751 Men’s Watch - that’s tough as a nut, without driving the price through the roof.

The Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic Skeleton Automatic H42555751 Men’s Watch cashes on the skeletonised theme, which wouldn’t have been possible without the Hamilton H-20-S automatic movement thrown in. The watch, thus, unites an impeccable degree of craftsmanship with relentless precision, high on decoration that ranges from a brushed and skeletonised rotor to intricate H patterns on its individual elements. But if you really want to get the real juice of the thing, it is the generous dimensions of the openings that display the functioning of the escapement, the hairspring and the barrel that need to be considered.

The Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic Skeleton Automatic H42555751 Men’s Watch comes in a 40mm stainless steel case, housing a skeletonised movement that has been specially created using a Swiss ETA movement as the base. Those with a penchant for vintage looks and feel – to be precise, the 1960s’ – with a thin profile that’s bestowed upon by the modern technological standards, shall find the Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic Skeleton Automatic H42555751 Men’s Watch an irresistible piece that will soon lead into obsession unless you procure it fast.

Movement and the case aside, it’s also the lugs’ shapes that make the Hamilton Jazzmaster Thinline Skeleton Automatic H42555751 Men’s Watch stand out from the crowd. The feel is in the wear and not visual. For the latter, you must glance at the silver-coloured dial, which is the dial itself, standing out against a backdrop of the dark grey movement plates, integrated to impart the Hamilton Jazzmaster Viewmatic Skeleton Automatic H42555751 Men’s Watch a multi-layered look. Sure it’s not an ornate, filigreed skeleton, but it has been engineered to be masculine, beyond any doubt.

Turn the watch around and the winding rotor jumps into your field of vision, through the sapphire case-back. This is where some very staunch purists might object (a skeletonised watch should be manually wound), but Hamilton has complied with the changing times. And neither does it stop the light from passing through, thanks to the skeletonising of the rotor.

As for the rest, unlike most other skeletonised watches, viewing time is not a problem with the Hamilton American Classics Ventura Automatic H42555751 Men’s Watch; the hour and minute markers along the chapter ring help you to read and set time precisely, the fluted crown offering a very comfortable grip.

All in all, a piece that you will regret to miss!

The TechnoMarine California Cruise Collection Chronograph TM-115014 Unisex Watch looks even better when put upon the wrist; its curved round case and integrated strap imparting a seamless flowing impression that’s undetectable when on the table. The curvy case also adds a charming softness to an otherwise technical dial, which balances and brings symmetry to the whole unit in a very straight forward fashion.

The colour scheme of the TechnoMarine California Cruise Collection Chronograph TM-115014 Unisex Watch is sharp and bold but far from being serious like most of the pro-grade diver watches. In terms of stature and demeanour, the colour stands out very well and is suitable for just any setting, whether the fun-filled indoors or amidst the harsh, wild open!

The silicone strap is very flexible and comfortable and washable too. The chunky looking bracelet clasp adds the oomph.

The three dimensional dial with the applied chapter ring is very much visible in the dark; thanks to the bright lume on the hour indicators and the three main hands. They stand out and bring a good mix between style and legibility, with the dial comprising just enough things going on. It doesn’t go overboard, bringing a fun styling that’s both youthful and tasteful.

The water resistance of the TechnoMarine Dream Cruise Collection Chronograph TM-115014 Unisex Watch is 200 meters and it can go down safely till 600 feet under water, which is just fine for recreational and little more than semi-pro level usage. The Swiss Ronda quartz movement (CALIBER 5040.D) comes with 13 jewels and a gold plated finish and offers maximum reliability. It’s so silent that unless you look at the ticking seconds-hand, you will forget the watch to be quartz based. The chronograph pushers are large and curved, which makes it easy to operate under wet conditions. And above all, the hands align exactly with the markings, which is appreciable by all who knows a watch!
