ophisticated yet approachable, the Hamilton Jazzmaster Performer Auto Chrono 42mm presents a modern take on the everyday sports watch. Whether paired with a suit, sneakers, or a sports car, this timepiece packs technical prowess and performance into an effortlessly stylish, versatile go-to companion.

The complexity of the watch’s inner workings are in full display on the vibrant, Super-LumiNova X1-enhanced indexes. Current time is displayed on the easy-to-read outer ring of the dial. On the bezel, the tachymeter indicators work in connection with the chronograph hand to measure the average speed between two points based on elapsed time. When stopped, the chronograph hand indicates the average speed on the tachymeter.

Meanwhile, the three subdials - one in black, another in silver and one in a confident steel blue - track hours, minutes and show the running seconds. Beneath the chronograph dials lies an exposed date wheel, creating a dynamic and dimensional symphony of movement. With 60 hours of power reserve and a Nivachron™ balance spring for improved resistance to external shocks like magnetic fields and temperature variations, the 28-jewel movement is robust and reliable.

At 42 mm, the black PVD case is assertive yet sleek and smart. With contrasting rich blue highlights and brushed silver elements, the Jazzmaster Performer Auto Chrono presents a singular balance of technical capability and measured styling. The black leather strap with subtle blue stitching further underscores the attention to detail that lie on and beneath dial.

The Jazzmaster Performer Auto Chrono builds on the legacy of the Jazzmaster family, taking cues from watch’s classic ethos and propelling it to new heights through unexpected design and innovative features.
