Yup great choices here. If you like the Seiko but want something more rugged, the black Alpinist SBDC087 is a solid option. Steel field watch with a pretty accurate automatic movement. It has a 72h power reserve too which is great. I was between the Hamilton Khaki, Sinn 556 and the Alpinist. I think either of those three are high quality GADA sport watches. Planning to keep this one for a long while.

I mean it’s in house-ish because Hamilton is part of the swatch group that also owns eta. So similarly if a Toyota or Lexus use an aisin transmission (transmission manufacturer under Toyota group) wouldn’t it be in house?

@wage6681 10 ай бұрын

Powermatic 80, sellita sw200, and ETA 2824, probably won't last you quite a lifetime lmao. They have issues with hand winding due to the crown wheel teeth being at least three times the size of the ratchet wheel teeth, causing teeth on the ratchet wheel to shear off. Great movements, but just don't hand wind too often. At least it's an easy fix if you catch it right away. Be sure to pull the crown all the way out and take it to a watchmaker. They'll just replace the ratchet wheel which is an easy job anyhow. Other than this they are fantastic movements.

That Hamilton is interesting since it has an IHM and an exhibition caseback, but remember that it’s owned by Swatch, who owns ETA as well. It’s likely that Hamilton’s claim to an IHM is simply a customized ETA movement - much like it’s sister brand, Omega.
