New Hamilton Chrono-Nov 2018

Haven't seen any threads on this watch but can't wait to see some more pics of this one. Really liking the colour scheme as well as the reduced size compared to the previous Limited Edition chrono from 2017. MSRP of $2195 USD. On to Some pics:

Superb interpretation of a classic twin-register chrono...the reduced proportions have brought this into serious consideration for a future pick-up....

That's a really great looking watch! I really like a lot of Hamilton's designs and their quality is stellar for the price.

Glad they went to 40mm. Think it will help the sales numbers over the size of the 42mm LE.

This will be a good one for Hamilton.

I like that panda look. I hope they would do some manual wind chronograph, to accompany the new manual wind field watch.

I agree! This is a classy piece!

Any other colors offered? Maybe black with silver sub dials?

So is it based on a vintage watch from their past or did they just make it up?

Reviving an old thread, as just bought one of these. It is even better in the flesh than in photo's IMO. It is really well made and in two day's has averaged +3 secs per day. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves chrono's or wants to have the option of wearing a nice but inexpensive watch

I have one, also. My only complaint is the date change mechanism. You have to depress a flat button.

Yes I know what you mean, it's a shame it isn't changed through the crown.....that said I have an Omega Moonphase manual wind, that has a push button change for the date and moon phase and it is far more fiddly than on the Hamilton

Looks great and I agree these can be had with quite a big discount on RRP

Great value for dollar. Attractive design and execution. Hamilton makes several pieces that are reference standards at their price point, IMO.

That’s a beautiful watch. Love that big crown. I think it would look better without a date.
