    Another great review! The new manual is awesome but I think the auto winding with black chapter ring and date complication make the auto the slight favorite for myself especially as a daily driver. Ive tried both models on and even though the auto is slightly thicker it wears thinner because of the smaller mid case and non boxed sapphire. Both models are absolutely awesome and wear great on most wrist sizes. Dont let the thickness put you off.

    *BIG MISTAKE - The crown on the AUTO IS SCREW DOWN. It just doesn't feel like it. I completely forgot! so thats why it sticks out a bit more. Doesn't push in like a diver does and I forgot so I didn't test it. spent basically all my time on the new mechanical. sorry for the ERROR!!!!!*
    According to Hamilton the new h51 is a combination of modern precision and vintage-inspired charm.. I think that defines the watch as well as the movement. I'm a fan of it.
    after watching my review back. I noticed the auto's black chapter is shrinking the watch visually on my wrist on the far shots? hmmm. interesting. this video wasn't really a full review more of COMPARISON. What did I miss? Please join the conversation in the comments.

    I was shopping these Hamilton chronographs and this video helped SO MUCH differentiating these models. Thanks for going into all those great details. Oh, and also. Definitely the black chapter ring. Wish they made a reverse panda with the white chapter ring as well. I'll settle for the panda, LOL.

    First I feel the automatic is the way to go with no hesitation. But mechanical some how grow on me so much, that i dont know anymore wich one to chose🤦‍♂️ mechanical patina with more warm cream color is calming down somewhere deep in me, it feels home, timeless. There is actualy 3 colors - patina, cream, and black. Feels more mature and grown deep because of the box crystal. Automatic feels very modern, sporty, and young - very contrasty and flat. Maybe even cheaper side by side with mecanical🤷‍♂️ but its striking as hell maaan🤦‍♂️ I will never decide🤦‍♂️

    You're killing me! I have 2 Hamilton's and this is now on my VERY short list. I want to say that I love your reviews. Great closeups, detail, coverage and explanation of all the little nuances. Keep up the good work! Oh... and here's a vote for the clean white face of the mechanical. They are both stunners, but the mechanical white face is just classy!

    • @EscapementWatch

    Great watch, love the look of it. It's hard to find a modern manually wound chronograph at a reasonable price, unless you buy one with a Seagull movement. My favourite complication on manually wound watches would be a power reserve indicator!

      That’s a pretty strange preference for watch size you’ve got. It’s also a bit sad that you’re limiting yourself so much. Besides that, a 40mm watch with nearly 15mm height and 50mm lug to lug will wear larger than other 40mm watches.

    • @EscapementWatch
      @EscapementWatch  2 роки тому +1

      No, not worth it unless you're timing an Olympic event. Sometimes a horizontal clutch could stutter in the microseconds. It's not a big deal. And for longevity vertical clutch is better wear and tear-wide. But in the end it's not a big deal. It's just bragging rights
