Hamilton has released an updated version of their iconic PSR model. The new Hamilton PSR comes to us after the success of the brand’s PSR Matrix watch. Similarly to its predecessors, the new Hamilton watch is part of the American Classic collection. The line revives timepieces that have made their way into the hearts of customers over the years. From re-introducing historic models to re-vamping whole lines, the American Classic line is where you’d be able to find the most classic timepieces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Hamilton Pulsar, which is the inspiration and the ancestor of the PSR, is said to be the world’s first-ever digital watch. The Pulsar \u201cTime Computer\u201d was announced in 1970 and took not only America but the world by storm. It was like nothing anyone had ever seen before. The watch captivated both watch connoisseurs and amateur collectors with its futuristic design and digital display. At this time Hamilton was attempting to stay relevant after the booming success of Seiko’s quartz watches. From those efforts was born the Hamilton Pulsar. The model was made available to the public in 1972 and remained the most sought after timepiece for years to come. The watch was made even more successful by being featured in the 1973 Live and Let Die James Bond movie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Hamilton PSR combines what fans love the most about the original version and the limited Matrix edition. The watch retains its iconic silhouette. The tonneau case shape invokes the original model and vintage inspiration of the PSR line. As with previous PSR models, the watch secures with a stainless steel bracelet with a folding clasp. The 40.8 mm case and bracelet both feature a brushed finish, which adds a more contemporary touch to the timepiece. The Hamilton logo is placed on the lower right-hand side of the dial, mimicking the placement of the Pulsar logo in the original watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, both the case and the bracelet of the watch are plated in black. The dial is, of course, digital. It’s a hybrid LCD and OLED display. Covering the digital display is a raised sapphire crystal. The watch is water-resistant up to 100 meters or 10 bars. The case back of the watch features a diagram of a pulsar<\/a>, another nod to the original watch. The model is powered by a quartz movement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
