Hamilton Jazzmaster Slim Automatic

Hamilton Jazzmaster Slim

Henry Ward Beecher said “True elegance becomes the more so as it approaches simplicity.” Henry would have liked the Hamilton Jazzmaster Slim Automatic. It reduces the wristwatch to its essential elements: hours, minutes, date. The luminescent hands make sure you won’t be lost in the dark. The Jazzmaster Slim is available in 40 and 43mm cases, in stainless steel and pink gold plate, with black or silver dial, and on black or brown strap or a Milanese-style mesh bracelet. Power is provided by an ETA 2892 movement. The Jazzmaster Slim is in stores now priced at $695 – $795.

Hamilton X-Mach: Are You Moving Faster Than Sound?

Hamilton X-Mach

Hamilton’s new 44mm X-Mach lets you measure an aircraft’s speed relative to that of sound – Hamilton calls this the “Machmeter” feature. To perform this feat however, you need to be sitting in the cockpit. Pilots set the pressure altitude (PA) and calibrated air speed (CAS) measured by the aircraft’s instruments by turning the right crown of the watch to reveal the Mach number in ISA (International Standard Atmosphere) conditions on the bezel.

Hamilton Ventura XXL: Blue Hawaii for the 21st Century

2010 would have been Elvis’s 75th birthday, and to mark the occasion, Hamilton is producing two new versions of the Ventura, made famous by the King in his 1961 movie “Blue Hawaii”. One commemorative model is a quartz-powered replica of the original. My focus will be on the second piece: the cool XXL Edition. The styling has been updated with larger dimensions, a gunmetal PVD case, and a perforated dial that lets the automatic ETA 2824-2 movement see a bit of sunlight.

Hamilton for 2009: BASE Jumping, Diving, and More

Some say the trend toward ever-larger watches is slowing, but you would not know it to look at Hamilton’s new 50mm Khaki BASE Jump watches. That’s BASE as in parachuting off of Buildings, Antennas, Spans and Earth. Available in automatic and chronograph versions, we will focus on the latter as it presents an interesting twist (pun intended): the timing functions are activated by turning the bezel, not by pushing buttons. Twist the bezel counter-clockwise to start and stop, then clockwise to reset.
