A really nice watch at a very good price from First Class Watches. I had read and watched a lot of reviews of this watch and decided it was one that I wanted to own. Delivery was quick and I soon had the watch in my hands. On first impressions, I thought it seemed a little small and toy like, but I think that’s because I am used to wearing a big and heavy Oris Aquis diver.
I was not a fan of the leather strap that the Hamilton came on (it seems stiff, although I’m sure it would loosen up with time). So I removed it, and this is where this watch comes into its own. It is a ‘strap monster’, meaning that it looks great on a wide variety of different straps and seems to change its look depending on what strap it is on.
Much has been made of the change of movement from ETA 2824 to H10 (a modified ETA with longer power reserve). I can say that my version is very accurate out of the box as the longer power reserve is a bonus.
All in all, I think this is a great ‘serious’ watch that for an automatic from a well known Swiss brand, is a bit of a bargain. I would highly recommend, and buying from First Class Watches is a good idea - especially if you can use the 10% discount code.
