HAMILTON PSR Digital Time Screen Watch | Hamilton Pulsar |

[@KRW628]

I'm wearing my 1977 P4 Pulsar right now. It sat in it's box for more than 40 years. I had new batteries put in a couple of weeks ago and it lit up like a Christmas tree. It still looks like the future on your wrist.

[@AlexMickeyMichalik]

This is one of those watches that you see on someone's wrist from a distance and you know immediately, if you're into watches, what it is

[@ProjectSerpo90]

Absolutely. I wouldn’t pay $800 for it, its not my style. But i absolutely respect the history and its cool as hell.

[@ProjectSerpo90]

Thats what it reminds me of!! I couldn’t out my finger on it but you nailed it…..the robot from The Day the Earth Stood Still!

[@HMartindeCampo]

That is one fucking gorgeous watch. Love how nostalgic it looks. Looks exactly like my father is when I saw it when he brought it home. But his said pulsar on it‼️✌🏼😊

[@jonabitstream]

Great to see a digital watch getting love.

[@desertsoldier41]

The image on the back is of a Pulsar, a rapidly spinning dead star with an intense magnetic field. They had only been discovered about ten years before the original watch came out.

[@desmobc]

On first seeing this watch I thought ahhh it’s ok nothing special, but a funny thing happened after about 2 weeks of researching the history of the watch and its significance I fell in love with it and ultimately made the purchase.

[@JB-zm1ex]

Why would you spend so much on the PSR, when for the same price you could get a real P2? I'll never understand that.

[@Nico-zw9ud]

@@JB-zm1ex This didn't age well. The PSR gold is now triple the retail price

[@TerenceHughes4501]

@@JB-zm1ex You could buy an original, although it'll be 50 years old so if it breaks down you'll never get parts and so it will be consigned to the bin. I should know because that's exactly what happened to me.

Thanks for reviewing this one FT 👍. Brought back lots of memories from my childhood ... I got my first LED watch back in 74 or 75. It was a Piratron in a black plastic case. Man, I was so proud (just 6, 7 years old). And even up until now, I never really got away from LED watches. Had quite a couple of these. Especially Hamilton. My favorite was the Kojak watch. Ultra cool. Currently I still carry a Bulova LED in my collection. Great watches of a great time. Your channel truly is 👌👌👌

[@EscapementWatch]

Very nice value add! and that bulova is really cool !

[@bashman59]

Watched the video fell in love now its on order can’t wait.😊

[@EscapementWatch]

Hope you like it!

[@marcolicciardi4830]

Back is not lines, it is a pulsar star cause Hamilton was called pulsar for this one. Now pulsar is under property of Seiko so Hamilton just replaced the name in this draw without mention Pulsar ':)

[@LouieHodgson-sg4nu]

I think its beautiful. In its own way of course

[@oggie1967]

Mine arrived in the post today & I LOVE IT! #childofthesixties!

[@Antiqueexcavator]

I picked up a Pulsar P4 stainless steel dress with a green display. Outstanding condition. keeping perfect time. Do you have any idea of the value? Thanks!

[@kanemillard3315]

I love SMP and joker 😭 not wrong about the hoodinke clock though 😂

[@renegomez1146]

i still have my original pulsar it looks just like this one on the video

[@EscapementWatch]

sweet! Grats!

[@pablogonzalez8304]

So this is the one Higgins must have worn on the original Magnum PI

[@EgdeFilms]

Glad I found this channel. Clean video.

[@EscapementWatch]

Thanks and welcome

[@tomasinacovell4293]

I think I recall the last ones like this were the Sinclair LED watch, I think we called them the LSD watch. LOL That bracelet is so nice, it's just like the pattern that Omega used and the same layout as the ones that come on many classic Seiko 5's and Casios etc.

[@EscapementWatch]

Thanks for the info!

[@dr.stevenpennym.d.3241]

I get mine tomorrow.

[@EscapementWatch]

sweeet

[@reactor4]

It's on the list

[@mikesmee]

I'm pretty sure that the stainless steel version of the Pulsar P2 was not $1,500 when released in the 70s as you quote! I had a relative who owned one and it was something like £125, which would have been more like $175.

[@mrfuriouser]

You're both correct- he is right on the initial MSRP and sales prices, though it came down "relatively" quickly for the time within which it was introduced...digital tech was extremely new in the consumer market, but many companies were jumping into the fray. Everything digital was pricey in the beginning, as we felt it was "computer-like".

[@renegomez1146]

I paid 375 bran new out of the box nfor mine

[@Maxx95700]

@@mrfuriouser I had one in 1975 $1000.00 Have the new one now $675.00

[@VictoriaStobbie]

Those gloves are sick. Where’d you get those mate?

[@rexmabunga]

The "planet" with lines on the case back is a pulsar pulsating radio waves.

[@nickgee7291]

very cool design!

[@EscapementWatch]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@gaborm4767]

What is the battery type?

[@MrNegroni]

Great video👍

[@EscapementWatch]

Glad you enjoyed

[@dr.stevenpennym.d.3241]

Do you know where it was made? Great video

[@EscapementWatch]

swiss made

[@dr.stevenpennym.d.3241]

@@EscapementWatch Thank you. I missed that one on the website. I just ordered one.

[@MrPleers]

Just wished they left out the always on function and went for LED instead of OLED. Also no day-date and and 24 hour mode ? That is a big disappointment for a watch of this price.

[@britt5126]

I totally agree!

[@desmobc]

The reason they went with the always on OLED is that it saves battery. THE LED eats batteries. When you hit the button the LED comes on and is very bright. You get both technologies and works very well. It has a sensor that detects if there is light and the OLED comes on. Under no light there is nothing coming on till you hit the button and the LED comes on. It really is the best of both worlds.

[@MrPleers]

@@desmobc I know. But I don't trust the longevity of OLED compared to LED. Besides I wonder if the always on function is the reason why they did not use the ruby red crystal instead of a clear one. (Too bad, as the ruby crystal made the original led watches so cool.).

[@desmobc]

@@MrPleers As far as the crystal used on the old watches they get scratched very easily and is made of a plastic of some kind, on the new model it is definitely sapphire and will remain as new basically forever. Anyways I purchased the watch and the quality is extremely good. Apparently the battery will last 5 years, no LED watch would even come close to that. I do wish they would have included more function like a day and date, but I guess they wanted to stay as close to the original Pulsar P2 as possible.

[@MrPleers]

@@desmobc I would still rather have that ruby crystal. It's what I love so much about the real LED watches from the 70's.. As for wanted to stay close to the original...They did drop the ruby crystal in favor of a colourless sapphire one and included an always on (LCD) screen. So including a date and 24 hour mode would not have made that much difference. (Especially, as it is not a cosmetic feature.)

[@johnsingapore6510]

Its a recreation of the pulsar P2 not the pulsar P1 (which was the first)

[@jigrodrigues]

I believe he said that

Your wife is my favorite person. I have rewound her saying hideous several times

oh man you should have heard the extra's I edited out. hilarious!

[@DMac-il6kl]

The back is modeled after a magnetar (quasar) star showing the magnetic lines of force.

[@watchnerds]

Too bad it used standard transparent crystal rather than red tinted crystal.

[@Nico-zw9ud]

what u mean

[@watchnerds]

@@Nico-zw9ud check out LED watches made on 80es...most of them has red crystal...

Show her the Invicta Bolt or Zeus Magnum. HIDEOUS

[@noremorse6898]

Since this watch has no calendar, why does it even need AM and PM? Ridiculously overpriced.

It's ridiculous

Greedy people's with their fat expensive Watch.!!! Digital Hamilton Watch.!!! Retro style but However it's bit lost of money for that watch.
