Personally I am a fan of vintage watches, but they are small on my wrist, almost 'girlie-like'. Because of this, I just hold them and drool. But that changed when Hamilton announced the new Slim timepiece. So I went out and tried it on. Surprisingly it came in two sizes. A 40mm on a heavy link bracelet or brown strap and a 43mm on a strap or a brown strap.Side note: I'm referring to the silvered dial version. Both sizes come in either black dial or rose gold plated cases.
The silvered dial, like I mentioned above is what I was looking for. The dial is perfectly done in a sun-ray look, but not too shiny or too dull. I would've liked a more vintage feel, but that is me. There also is no second hand, which I love. I don't use the second hand and with the second hand it's a little more modern. The mesh bracelet is extremely comfortable. It's not done like a traditional linked bracelet, but instead like a leather pants belt/slide buckle set up.
The automatic movement, ETA 2892, is precise and thin. There is a viewing case back. A great package at a very low $795.00. I like it so much, I bought it and it's my everyday watch. The luminous is cleverly hidden and shines nicely at night.
