Hamilton Pilot Pioneer Stainless Steel H76455133

Post by Franko »

So @skylimegtr_34 straightened me out when I first thought my Hammy was defective. The inner bezel would not lock when I screwed down the top crown but he told me that is normal and most internal bezels move when you screw the crown down. This being my first one, I wasn’t aware of that and almost returned the watch, so to skylinegtr, I say THANK YOU!!

On to some watch porn 😍😍😍

It arrived in a pouch much like my Seiko Monster had:

It has a blue hue around the unique crystal that looks really nice in certain light:

It has a silver chapter ring and the black bezel is on top of that:

The white numerals against the black background really jump out at you:

The display case with signed rotor:

On my size 7.25” wrist:

The lume is not super but then it’s not a dive watch either:

The bracelet isn’t quick change like my Christopher Ward (love that bracelet) but it is easy enough to size.

Thank you to @booruns for posting this deal!!

I’ve just started with Swiss watches and I have to be honest, I Like them better than Seikos and Citizens for the same money. This coming from a budding collector though 🙂

An update to this awesome Hamilton, it’s around 1 second slow per day. This is the most reliable watch I have that is not a quartz!! My CW Trident is 12 seconds fast per day.
