Finally something without a date wheel. Can't believe how many makers just jam that complication into everything without any regard for symmetry.

[@mr0ptimistic]

Got a BB58 recently and love the lacking date. Will be very hard to go back to a date wheel.

[@arnewoodman]

Hard to justify calling a watch with no day/date wheel a "Do It All' model. I'm not expecting the host of fussy and almost never needed show-off complications like moon phase and so on, but day and date are genuinely useful. No regard for symmetry? well how often are the hands in a symmetrical position?

[@bruhdabones]

@@arnewoodman Eh, it's extra work each month. I either know the day & date or check my phone, whereas the time is more important and therefore the key feature of a watch in my life

[@mr0ptimistic]

@@daniellehotsky1776 Agreed. The execution matters, too. I would buy a Lange 1 if I could afford it.

[@wuchinshan133]

@@daniellehotsky1776 Yes, but surely you check the time more often than you check the date. I've only owned watches with a date wheel but would probably be fine with a watch without one.

[@HRM.H]

They knocked it out the park with this one. No date, steel bezel, 38mm

[@tadejkokalj5170]

Yes they did. More time-only watches, please

[@waffle911]

Ticked all the current trendy boxes

[@megasoid]

Absolutely.

[@megasoid]

@@tadejkokalj5170 Please!

[@penguin_edits]

totally agree, i was just gonna comment that they knocked it outta the park but u did first

[@QuietLurker]

Well that 34mm watch is now a dream watch for me. Clean, sporty, versatile and a great size for my tiny wrist which can be tough to find outside vintage.

[@anthonystevens8683]

This is a seriously good looking watch, dressy but also sporty and definitely elegant. My preference would be the blue dial variant on the leather strap. I also like the clean dial sans date complication. I've found Hamilton watches great from my experience.

[@BEYSeamaster1]

Home run for Hamilton. Especially for small wrists like mine and without having to sell body parts to get a Swiss watch. LOL The dial color and the hands are gorgeous too. Thanks Teddy. Omar

[@tomhohum4275]

Very nice watch!! I’d be interested but- - -I’m 74 and retired so without a date window I’d be lost😂. Still I’ll look at the different dials to see if it is s good fit with my other 3 Hamilton, a Khaki Field, blue Panda Chronometer and black PVD(??) coated larger titanium

[@Gumby56]

I have a blue dial Jazzmaster and it works well with every style of dress from a T-shirt and jeans to a suit.

[@MrCarguy427]

Can you purchase a bracelet for it as well? I don’t see it as an option

[@gbiscuits]

Lug to lug is perfect, 38mm dia too, not too small, not too big. Serious contender!

[@MKGamingInvesting]

Amazing watch I am stunned, after thinking about a Grand Seiko quarz or a Zelos as a fourth watch, this may be the one

[@AdAce21]

Wow, what a great-looking piece from Hamilton! I would've preferred a date at the 6, but it otherwise hits the mark (great 38mm sizing, steel bezel, super clean dial and colors).

[@mohammadfaisal6604]

I always thought the Jazzmaster collection was great except for the case size. They did brilliant this time around by sizing it down to 38mm.

[@mezcalycafe8702]

Might be my first hamilton

[@danielschumacher6720]

Black version with steel or the beautiful blue with the leather strap? Hard decision.

[@wuchinshan133]

Seems like a nice watch. Can anyone explain the purpose of the numbers on the bezel for the 34 & 38mm non-chronograph models? The bezel is fixed.

[@jayfn3876]

“Poor” man’s Globemaster? I want one! Lol

[@Juanjo191]

What a beautiful watch. Excellent alternative for a Tag Heuer Carrera. And This wouldn’t be the poor man’s Carrera, this would be the sense man’s Carrera. We need to see more color dials though

[@dzagIT]

It looks stunning! Is a 38mm blue dial available with the bracelet?

[@stuartselkirk7581]

Thanks Teddy, at last a watch review that actually mentions the accuracy of the movement. Hamilton have just come onto my radar with this model, great looking watch, although personally I do like a date complication. I have been looking at the Maurice Lacroix Aikon with blue dial, which I think is a really sharp looking timepiece. Now this Hamilton has me in two minds. Would you say the Hamilton is a better buy?

[@matthewsanders6499]

Super clean. Contemporary but not showy. Excellent design. Great specs. Competitive price. This one's a banger.

[@wannabeuk]

Just pulled the trigger on one of these following your excellent review. Could you recommend some complimentary strap alternatives ?

[@alzinifelshoni2602]

As someone who enjoys small watch sizes, I’m very interested in the 34mm variant. Beautiful watch

[@cagataycakmak2280]

The pale blue one looks fantastic.

[@DeathtrapCult]

I agree, I'm all over teh 34mm, I'll wait for a review

[@greggusan]

Very attractive. Like very much the brushed bezel and the fact they included some lume...enough to read the time after walking into a dark place after being outside, but you almost don't know it's there otherwise. I do think an applied Hamilton logo might look pretty sharp on this.

[@MegaBlackley]

This is a beautiful watch; Hamilton is probably my favorite overall brand - they’re consistently that good. This watch is too small for my wrist, but I can still appreciate how handsome it is.

[@chadmercer3995]

Just… gorgeous. Simple yet elegant. I’m in love with Hamilton

[@ed8018]

What a great, versatile watch for a reasonable price. I think it punches above its weight and competes with other more expensive options.

[@matteocavallin8775]

If this had a polished bezel with no numbers on it, it would be literal perfection. Also, how are they gonna put a screw-down crown on a Jazzmaster model before a Khaki model. Nice watch but I’m confused at what their thinking was.

[@HRM.H]

Hamilton made several 38mm khaki field limited editions with screw down crowns... sadly not standard production. I hope to see a premium khaki field some day, with a even nicer movement, sliding clasp and 150 meter water resistance.

[@whywecollectwatches]

Great review! Love the simple but elegant design of the Jazzmaster Performer. This is what the Tissot Gentleman should have been!

[@cdb5001]

Never liked Tissot design language to be honest. Hamilton always seemed a cut above.

[@ref6122]

A great one watch collection type of watch.Just wish they ditched the exhibition case back like Longines has done on many models.

[@dcobillo]

Perfect timing! I am on the look out for a blue dial everyday watch. Do you know if the blue will come with a bracelet at any time? I've had a look around and it is only paired with the strap at the moment

[@Danlikescheesteaks]

Think I would've preferred it if they left the bezel plain. Or maybe changed it to gmt print and gave it that Caliber 80 gmt movement that Mido uses. That could've been a sweet watch. Does it have a ghost date position on the crown?

[@mph7282]

I’m with you. A non-rotating bezel with numbers is kind of pointless and distracting. Sort of ruins it for me.

[@Danlikescheesteaks]

@@mph7282 Exactly! Like why put a numbered bezel if it doesn't rotate? Just adds needless clutter to an otherwise perfectly simple design.

[@atarool]

You can never go wrong with hamilton

[@baandoptager]

Oh yeah you can.

[@atarool]

@baandoptager if we are talking about older models from the past few years, then maybe yes, but in recent years, they have been producing bangers. Khaki murph, the new scuba, Khaki Field titanium, and other recent models

[@01egna]

Hamilton has impressed me with a bang on accurate hand wind mechanical watch [that they quoted was 36mm, but is in fact 33mm, but I totally forgive them for that] and my sexy PSR that is next level cool. They are on fire and others should take note.

[@baandoptager]

@@01egna I've owned two different ones. One 1.6K Chrono and one 2K Chrono. Both of them came with the seconds not hitting the markers. The Intramatic 68 even had one of the subdial hands completely off. Not ok.

[@baandoptager]

@@atarool Hamilton used to be cool but I really feel they've been pushing the stale a lot over the last many years.

[@spolandeer]

Is the blue 38mm version avaible with a steel bracelet?

[@kevinthailand2567]

Needed to see a blue bezel to let this into my Hamilton collection. Sadly I don't need a black bezel with my Cooper for a stellar black face watch 😊

[@steffens170]

Great looking sporty watch, but someone please educate me, what is the meaning with a non rotating 60min bezel? Or is it 60sec?

[@kevinthailand2567]

It means the bezel is fixed. No rotation. 60 is always at twelve o'clock. Note the elongated second hand makes precision timing easier against the fixed bezel.

[@londonsaint]

Big fan of Hamilton and the history but I've never been a massive fan of the khaki field but this I love, looks so clean, wear all occasions might have to put this on my wish list

[@camels3269]

Really love all of these! How is the AR coating on these pieces? This is always a weak link of the otherwise amazing brand that is Hamilton.

[@TeddyBaldassarreReviews]

The AR is actually very good across the board for these new Jazzmaster Performer models

[@hyunio]

I got the blue one on a gray seatbelt NATO. It's super simple and just a joy to wear!

[@joeskeptical4762]

*Great homage of the Seiko SARB003*

[@rm1979rm]

looks like Hamilton took the design from Tissot Swissmatic V8, even the strap is similar. But at a fraction of the price of Hamilton. I own the Swissmatic V8 and it is my beater watch and has been great.

[@shiraz1736]

Would have loved some blued screws in that movement , between this the Field and the Pioneer , Hamilton is smashing it atm.

[@b.a.baracus3584]

Any experience regards durability of gold PVD coating on Hamilton watches. Does it age well? Scratch resistance etc. Thanks!

[@chrissnowdenphoto]

Well this is going next to my 38mm Murph - Gorgeous Watch!

[@richardnedbalek1968]

I’d prefer a higher beat rate for a smoother second hand, no minute markings on the bezel, no lume, and a synthetic strap. Keep it elegant and simple.

[@mproductionsmusik]

Beautiful new watch from hamilton well done to the designers at hamilton this model is a future classic. Very versatile piece it is classy and sporty, it as the right size 38mm and very clean looking with beautiful finishing. Perfect for the price. When less is more... this is it! It remind me of the Zenith Defy Classic but for 4 times less the money.

[@Dialandhands]

Those dimensions are perfect! I wish they would make a khaki field with the lug to lug like these. I am selling my khaki mechanical for that reason because I don’t like how long it looks on my wrist.

[@HRM.H]

I picked up a vintage 33mm khaki field mechanical. Wears surprisingly large due to the lugs. And still super cheap nowadays

[@Sturnburn772]

look at the new murph 38mm

[@jayjay9932]

The case shape/ lugs looks like a Grand Seiko, even the hour markers on the bezel is like one of the GS' GMT's a bit.

[@AnkitBadkur]

Please make one on the chrono version

[@normang663]

I think this will be a classic in a couple of years. Still have my khaki auto, but might just swap it for this beauty

[@nikolaikrustev1159]

Cool watch! On a Nato strap you could swim with it.

[@Enzo-777]

How fast does it go from 0 to 60?

[@777soul56]

38mm and screwdown crown wins it for me. Just add a traveler's gmt to this and it will definitely be a rival in the gmt sports watch segment of the market. Just add more lume please Hamilton!!

If it was C.O.S.C.

[@maximimaxima3327]

Really nice, and 38 mm is more my size. I'm not sure if I like the strap, with this holes. Maybe need to really see it.

[@johnsinclair2672]

Why does it have diver bevel makers on a fixed bezel, isn’t that what the batons are for?

[@duncanhamilton5841]

That's an excellent design. I've had one Hamilton - the Khaki King Auto, and flipped it after a few months because the total lack of AR coating drove me mad. You could never see the dial details, and half the time couldn't read the time either.

[@marcuslindqvist2673]

interesting input about the AR. Didnt know it can do such difference. do all cheap watches lack the AR coating ?

[@duncanhamilton5841]

@@marcuslindqvist2673 it can on something with a detailed dial like the Khaki King. And no, not putting AR on the crystal is mostly a Swiss thing, randomly, at most budget points.

[@PH-kl5qq]

Is it worth it over a tissot gentneman, price/value wise?

[@kevinmichaelx4894]

Nice watch, great size. I would prefer if it did not have screw down. Not concerned about water.

[@juanlugo7238]

Ahh having a hard time deciding between the blue or the gentleman blue. Does anyone know if the bracelet on the black is removable for a strap or what bracelet I can get for the blue one?? I want the bracelet but I can’t seem to find the one for the blue dial.

[@tancreddehauteville764]

Not too impressed with this one. The fixed bezel with numbers seems a bit pointless. A swing and a miss, in my view.

[@MM-wd6ud]

I don’t understand the appeal of an 80 hour power reserve. Personally, I’d prefer keeping the beat rate at 28k which would eliminate the annoying stuttering movement of the second hand.

[@juanlugo7238]

Hello, new to the watch world and am definitely considering getting the performer with bracelet as my first Swiss watch. Can someone help me understand what “fixed end link” means?

[@TeddyBaldassarreReviews]

Fixed end links are when a watch has an integrated bracelet and can not easily be changes from one strap to another. Take a look at one of our integrated bracelet watches like the Citizen Tsuyosa or the Baume et Mercier Riviera to see an example.

Is it true that these h10 movements cannot be regulated?

[@tadlehmann1906]

Beautiful watch. One question: I love the blue dial variant with the blue strap, but I’m looking for an everyday workhorse watch. Are leather strap watches a bad idea if that’s what I’m after? I assumed I’d be going for either a metal or a rubber / resin bracelet. Can you wear leather every day for years? And how easy is it to swap this with another bracelet? Many thanks and get a lot out of this channel

[@kevinthailand2567]

Easy swap clasp on the factory leather. Any appropriate sized after market band will work. Try Holbens if you want a quality aftermarket band.

[@JHamilton791]

As a big Hamilton fan and collector, I hope this watch does well for them, but this one doesn't appeal to me. They seem to have created a Citizen. It's a bit odd in the Jazzmaster lineup and the chrono is more than an homage. The current Jazzmaster chrono is a really handsome watch that needs an update, so I would have started there.

[@gafakyusef6201]
