Now, in an era of ever-accelerating technology and lives lived at a breakneck pace, in 2020, the all-new Hamilton Jazzmaster Skeleton offers something very different. With its internal mechanics revealed, it's a chance to stop and appreciate the ingenuity of traditional timekeeping.

The Jazzmaster Skeleton Anthracite - Bracelet Ref. H42535180 sets forth where it is designed to be the perfect combination of certain savoir-faire pieces with modern technology. Measuring wittily at 40mm wide and 11mm in height, a combination of both brushed and polished stainless steel throughout the case mimics the typical sporty yet with beautiful contrast. Further, at 40mm, the Jazzmaster Skeleton bears 50m water resistant and wears exceptionally well, thanks to its lugs to lugs length of 47mm - a versatile dimension indeed for most of our wrists, both for men and women.

Ok, we are not done with the case built. Further, the case features a fine domed sapphire crystal accentuating above the thick polished bezel. Paired on the opposite side with a screw-in exhibition case back with essentials specifications engraved onto it. The lugs' design reminds one of some horn-shape, enliven the watch's overall uniqueness, rather than just running the mills of a typical round dress watch.

Skeletonized dial to view the open work

To showcase this automatic caliber's precision and beauty, Hamilton's designers took an innovative new approach for the dial work. They incorporated an emblematic 'spiky H' design signature into the matte black skeletonized dial's cut-out structure. The effect results in a unique and eye-catching timepiece sure to impress. The 'spiky H' is a modernized H symbol, which has been Hamilton's design signature. This strong character cut-out dial is an excellent fit for the refined stainless steel case, which was executed meticulously.

For time indication, one bears applied facet markers for hours, flanging the semi-exposed segments dial that reveals the mechanical works. The dial is further paired with nickeled "Flieger" sword-style hands, and all of them are done with SuperLumiNova for night legibility. There is no date display, but excellent at the 3 o'clock position shows the "Hamilton" logo, resulting in the dress watch's cleanliness while keeping things balanced overall. Strapping the Jazzmaster to the wrist, one can conclude the contemporary built for a sense of classiness above all things.

Unique "horn-shaped" lugs

The Jazzmaster is powered by its Caliber H-10, which is a tweaked 25-jewel ETA C07.611 automatic movement. The main tweak has the power reserve pumped up to 80 hours while having the frequency of the balance slowed from 4Hz to 3Hz, or from 28,800 beats per hour to 21,600bph. Further, the mainspring got lengthened due to the reduction of the barrel arbor's core. This allows a longer power reserve enhancing an automatic movement, with the lower beat-rate reminds one of an old school hand cranker found on vintage military watches. With all this said, Hamilton truly is the few who can produce such movement upgrade on a large scale and further be well priced.

Hamilton paired the Jazzmaster Auto with a 20mm stainless steel multi-link bracelet that is usually seen on these dress watches from the 60s and suitable for all occasions and conditions.

Glows in the dark

Perfectly balancing tradition and innovation, the Jazzmaster Skeleton integrates a bold interpretation of Hamilton's design signature. It offers a glimpse of its precision Swiss automatic movement in action. Using quality materials and featuring a range of dial and strap combinations, it's a collection that shows Hamilton at its best.
