    Hello , thank you for the review, the price for this watch is more 1000 than 500 usd at least in Europe , and in shops. There is a now a red bezel 42 mm version also, and the bigger red version is not 44 mm but 46 mm. best regards

    Great review of a watch that is currently on my radar. I only have two points to argue with your dislikes. The crown does add functionality to the watch as it adds to the water resistance. Likewise with the caseback. A display case usually decreases the water resistance. The combination of the solid caseback and the crown lock serve to make this a 300m WR watch.

    Just picked this watch up from Jomashop for 670$. Happy with the watch, but it did not come with the cool case - just the standard Hamilton box. Hope this helps anyone shopping for one. The only thing I don't like is the pin and collar system they use in their bracelets. Its not bad, but it could be better.

    Very nice watch. I just bought the Longines Hydroconquest (auto) two years ago for $1,200 and I'm not really the type of person to spend over $500 on watch, but this particular Hamilton is very intriguing. Thanks for posting this.

    • @levedia

      Your Hudroconquest is nicer. I own the Seiko prospex turtle which is better looking as well. My favorite diving watch the Green Oris aquis. That looks sick. Good quality too 300 meters but movement 26 jewels which is pretty accurate.

    A very beautiful and affordable divers automatic watch from Hamilton. I like the blue dial. My disappointment is the small crown, which is much smaller in diameter than the screw down receptacle. That gives a problem in grasping the crown during the date and time adjustments because if your thumb and index finger are large, plus long fingernails you will be turning both the crown and the immovable receptacle. Sometimes Swiss watchmakers lack insight and practicality in designing the crown (typical of Hamilton) ang designing the bezel lock (typical of Omega ploprof). The Citizen professional divers 1000 meters titanium has an excellent bezel lock. Edox hydrosub North Pole divers has a very unique and practical crown lock also.
    Likewise, thanks for your kindness and impressive review. Hope you will be blessed with more watches and excellent reviews.

    Good review and absolutely good point when it comes to adding a ceramic bezel. The locking mechanism in my opinion should be located at 4 o'clock position, rather on 2(simple gravity). This way it won't be on your way when working with the crown, which btw is smaller that it should be as you noted correctly. Best regards!
