Review Details
Look & Feel: 4.8/5
The Hamilton JazzMaster Viewmatic is an exceptional combination of silver hues and stainless steel. Looking at the band, the classic crocodile leather makes for a perfect beginning to this timepiece. Added to the 38mm stainless steel case it gives the watch a look of style and sophistication. Holding it in your hands you’ll notice that the watch is built to be light, which provides a perfect combination of elegance and balance.
Just a glance at this watch and you’ll be able to pick out its distinctive silver dial and stainless steel bezel. This color combination works to accentuate its sharpness and visual uniqueness. Hamilton has paid special attention to the hands while designing the Jazzmaster. The subtle blue hands sport Lumibrite technology which allows the details of the dial to be viewed even in the dark. In addition, the watch provides beautiful Arabic numerals and indices. All these features combine with the sweeping second hand to create a flawless display.
The sapphire crystal is impressive, especially if you’re looking for a watch that’s capable of taking more punishment. It seems delicate and smooth, yet it’s hard enough to withstand nearly any form of wear and tear. The back of the watch is also protected by the same sapphire crystal, creating a see-through window that lets you view the inner components. A date window located at the 3 o’clock position finishes this beauty off.
