Hamilton Limited Edition Chrono-Matic 50 American Classic Black Dial Leather Strap Men\'s Watch H51616731   This Hamilton Limited Edition Chrono-Matic 50 American Classic Black Dial Leather Strap Men\'s Watch H51616731 is a distinctive and defying attention grabber. In terms of the black dial, the ever present Hamilton logo can be seen just below the 12 o\'clock index. Then, two chronographs which are used for measuring speed can be seen adjacent to the 3 and 9 o\'clock index. This effect gives the dial a \'reverse panda style\' due to the white subdials acting as the eyes on the black face. Furthermore, a small curcular date window can be seen replacing the 6 o\'clock index. Around the very edge of the dial, which is also known as a chapter ring, is a tachymeter which is used to measure both speed and distance. Furthermore, the hands are powered by an exclusive H-31 movement. The H-31 is a powerful automatic chronograph movement featuring an extended 60-hour power reserve, making it perfect for the demands of the sportiest of models. With an H pattern design on the oscillating bridge, there’s no mistaking who made this movement. A thick silver case which has a diameter of 48mm surrounds the dial alongside sapphire crystal glass to provide both protection and class. Then a black leather strap can be fastened using a standard buckle.   This watch has a water resistance of 100 metres, making it suitable for swimming and snorkelling.    Key Features:  Limited To 1,972 Pieces Chronograph Automatic   Date Window Countdown  Tachymeter   Black Letaher Strap Black Dial  Silver Stainless Steel Case  H-31 Movement 48mm Case Reverse Panda Style Sapphire Crystal Glass 100m Water Resistant 60 Hour Power Reserve Pin Buckle       The Brand: Hamilton Since its foundation in 1892, Hamilton Watch Company have developed a reputation for being a provider of accurate timekeeping. Hence they earned the title of “The Watch of Railroad Accuracy”, as a result of their highly accurate pocket watches. Hamilton earned a place in history, as they found themselves suppliers of watches to the US military in both world wars.The US Naval Lab invited the Hamilton Watch Company to create an American made chrono. There was a shortage of chronos available to the US Government during the First World War. Therefore they had to rely solely on European made pieces.For this reason Hamilton agreed in 1941 to undertake the work. Moreover, by 1944 Hamilton had produced more than 10,000 Chronometers in aid of the American War effort. Hamilton have developed a close relationship over the years with Hollywood. Hamilton watches have featured in over 450 films, beginning in 1951 with the Frogman watch. Other films include: Elvis Presley in 1961’s ‘Blue Hawaii’ and in ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’. Furthermore, Hamilton have featured in films such as ‘Interstellar’ and ‘The Martian’. In 2003 Hamilton moved their headquarters to a facility in Switzerland. They are still a global force within the timepiece industry. This is because Hamilton watches offer a combination of American heritage, Swiss internal workings and a touch of Hollywood flair.
