Hamilton Seaview Collection

Seaview Medium 37 Auto with white dial and rubber strap

The watches in Hamilton's Seaview collection are in a category that is arguably the most important amongst timepieces today.A watch that looks good and professional at at the office whilst being able to withstanding a day of sports and sunbathing at the beach. Watches like the Submariner or the Seamaster embody the everyday watch philosophy. If you must have only one watch it will probably be a timepiece from this style. Within the Seaview collection there are variations for different tastes. The Auto Chrono for those who crave luxury and the 1000FT for lovers of the rugged sporty look, for instance. At Baselworld 2010, Hamilton made sure that the lady watch enthusiasts were well served by releasing several new mechanical watches for women. Amopngst these is the new Seaview Medium Automatic, which is a stunning example of an everyday timepiece.

The Hamilton Seaview Medium Automatic displays both sporty and elegant features. The wide rotating bezel is definitely a tribute to diving watches. Deep diving is out of the question for the Seaview Medium, but a water resistance rating of 100 meters assures that the watch is well equipped for recreational swimming. One thing you would not want to bring into the water is a leather strap, which brings us to a feature that adds to the adaptability of this model. Both the straps and the metal bracelet are equipped with specialized pushers that allow the owner to interchange straps quickly and easily by hand. The supple leather strap can be worn during the week at work, while a quick change to the rubber band or stainless steel bracelet can prepare the Medium Auto for a weekend at the lake or beach.

While the structure of the Seaview Medium is robust and water resistant, many elegant features are peppered across the watch. The dial's semi-glossy finish and the diamond-shaped hour markers applied to it are examples. The alpha hands are clearly visible, but not overly bold. Phosphorescent paint is applied subtly to the hands and markers. At three o'clock the date aperture is bordered with steel and fits cleanly within the ring of hour markers. The white dial model is particularly elegant and it is complemented by a white enamel bezel and white leather and rubber straps. This variation is delivered with a special presentation case and includes the two white straps and the steel, link bracelet. The 37mm case can no longer be considered oversize today, but it is quite big. Its rounded sides are finished with a glossy finish that adds to the elegance of the overall look. Whoever the feminine version of James Bond is, she could safely use the Seaview Medium to dazzle guests at a glamorous private party and them make a getaway on snowboard or sea-doo while guards shoot at her from all angles.

The reason for Hamilton's success in the past five years is their strong position in the entry level luxury category for men. This year the company is determined to reach out to women with models like the Seaview Medium that offer quality at accessible prices. The movement in the Seaview Medium is a strong indication of the quality of the watch. The mechanism is the Swiss-made automatic-winding ETA 2824-2 caliber, which can be found in many famous timepieces priced way beyond the $845 starting retail price of the Seaview Medium. The decorated oscillating rotor and balance wheel of the movement are visible through the sapphire crystal of the exhibition back. Scratch-resistant synthetic sapphire is also used for the front of the watch. The rest of the materials, like 316L stainless steel and Swiss rubber, also reflect the amazing value offered by this model.

The Medium Automatic is the newest member of Hamilton's American Classic Seaview collection. Since 2009 the collection has offered several different styles. The most conspicuous model is the rose gold Auto Chrono with its intricate, elegant dial. An automatic 7753 calibre movement, rose gold plated 44mm case, and two-tone bezel assure that it is the most luxurios model in the line-up. For diving watch lovers, the Seaview 1000ft offers a bold, easy-to-read dial in a robust, highly water resistant, 44mm steel case. The Day-Date embodies a similar philosophy as the Medium. Its understated, elegant dial and 42mm steel case draw inspiration from both sporty and elegant styles, and offers a well balanced look that works for any occasion. The white, mother of pearl version of the Day-Date is perfectly suited as a high-grade, oversize watch for women.
