Is this a Jazzmaster?

[johnj]

Does anyone know if this watch is actually a Jazzmaster or just a knock-off. The model number is H18451555 and I think the case does not look like a Jazzmaster case. This model is not found on the Hamilton web site. The dial looks almost, of not exactly like the H32411555, but the H32411555 has a Jazzmaster case. Below is some pictures of the H18451555.




Here is a picture of the H32411555. Notice the Jazzmaster case.

It sure looks like a Jazzmaster Series but has some elements from Khaki series.

That's exactly what I thought, it looks like a 38mm khaki case. I am wondering if Hamilton is calling this particular model a Jazzmaster. Also, is this a non U.S. only model since it's not on the Hamilton website.

Probably an older model of the Jazzmaster Viewmatic. I doubt if it's a knockoff.

It's not a Viewmatic. Both the H32411555 and the H18451555 are 38mm quartz models.

I know it definately looks like a Jazzmaster, I'm just wondering if it actually was in the Jazzmaster line.

yes, this is a Jazzmaster but an older one - quartz version - 2006ish I think. Hamilton discontinued it a few years ago but there are still some NOS floating around out there. I had one with a tan strap that ironically came with a deployment buckle as opposed to the standard tang. Usually to keep the cost down these were very basic pieces so the deployment was a plus. I sold it because I got rid of the smaller pieces in my collection (38mm being on the small side) The finish was good and is what you expect from Hamilton; it was a nice piece over all.

Thanks for the info.

Does anyone have a H18451555, and can tell me if the case back has the Hamilton insignia or not?

Thanks.
