Hamilton Watch Reviews: JazzMaster, X-Wind Automatic

ALL WATCH REVIEWS ARE THOUGHT TO BE ACCURATE AT THE TIME OF THE REVIEW

The Hamilton Khaki X-Wind mens watch is one of my favorites by Hamilton, especially in this dial color (ivory). This time I want to jump right to the automatic movement first. The X-Wind uses a Valjoux 7750, this is amazing considering a price point under $1,500 (that’s before any discounts!). For those of you that enjoy knowing what is under the hood, you will appreciate this value. I can think of one particular watch which uses a slightly modified Valjoux 7750, retails for around $6,800!

Getting back on track, the ivory colored dial adds a real sense of class to this very versatile watch. There is a nice contrast between the brown leather strap accented with white stitching against the dial. Some of the many features include small black indices on outer dial, brushed stainless steel turning ruler with black numbers/indices, analog day and date at the 9 o'clock position, polished stainless steel crowns and pushers, display back, and sapphire crystal.

Pros - A lot of watch for money, nice size, display back, and versatile.

Consideration - This version is only offered on a leather strap.

Hamilton Jazzmaster H32515555 Watch Review

There is a rich American history with Hamilton. Formerly produced in Lancaster, PA, now a Swiss brand owned by The Swatch Group. The Jazzmaster (ref. H32515555) is a classic dress watch on a brown leather alligator grain strap. The watch has clean lines, an easy to read dial, and a large date window at the 3 o’clock position. The watch is finished nicely with a brushed stainless steel case and polished accents. Protecting the watch face is sapphire crystal, which is more expensive than mineral crystal. Those who have had mineral crystal will appreciate this upgrade – it is extremely scratch resistant.

Finally, the JazzMaster uses an automatic ETA 2824-2 movement, a proven work horse! The history, fit, finish, classic styling, and movement make this one classy dress watch.

Pros - Great price point

Consideration - Water resistance
