Ive been a fan of the Hamilton Jazzmaster line for some time now, and have appreciated some of the open-heart dials theyve created in the past. Their latest (the Viewmatic Skeleton), though, is truly a skeleton watch, not just a dial with some cut out pieces of metal.Thats because the Jazzmaster Viewmatic Skeleton watches (yes, this is a his-n-hers release) were designed with the intent of showing off their new H-20-S automatic movement. Theres very little in the way of you seeing the actual moving parts at work, and the movement itself has cutouts and finishing (laser-engraved) that lets you know the movement was meant to be seen. Of the two models, I think the womens one may be the more legible of the two though Id be concerned about losing the polished hands against the white dial. Thankfully, Hamilton avoided the easy way out with this dial, and didnt include any heart-shaped cut outs or extraneous sparkles (gems or otherwise) on the dial. Just several overlapping circles to create a theme (and the cut outs), paired with beveled, teardrop indices for the major demarcations. The etched H finishing on the movement is the same for both models, but it stands out a bit more against the white dial here.The mens model goes for a darker pallete, with anthracite (aka dark grey) being the color of choice. This shows up on what little there is of the inner dial (much less patterned than the ladies model), as well as on the outer dial edge, where you have small marks for the minutes, and a whole lot of Hamilton Viewmatic branding (each word shows up three times).The womens model comes in a 36mm wide case and features quick change systems for either the white leather strap or stainless steel bracelet. The mens model comes in at 40mm, and while it has the bracelet and leather strap as well (in black), its not of the quick change variety. This is something Ive experienced on a few other watches, and if youre the sort to change straps frequently, it really is quite a nice add-on. I dont feel that its any less-secure than a spring bar and its a shame they didnt include it on the mens model. For a his-n-hers collection, this is a nice pair with identical prices $1195 apiece. While they are by-and-large very similar pieces (identical movements and finishing, similar specs), they are as different as night and day. Surprisingly (for me), its the womens model that I think is the standout of the pair, as it presents a very nice design for a ladies skeleton watch, without resorting to some of the cliches seen elsewhere. And, if youre on the look for a matched watch set without having identical pieces, this does look to be an intriguing option. ?hamiltonwatch.com [...]
