A Hamilton automatic for $350 is very tempting indeed. I have a Khaki Field Officer with the H-10 and I have no complaints. Still debating whether I need another :)
As an aside, the Red Bull Air Race is pretty cool! We watched the one in Abu Dhabi this year and would definitely recommend it if one gets the chance.

If the Arabic numerals and hour indices were slightly smaller, there could be a gap that wouldn’t make it seem like the date window was colliding with the 3. Oh well, maybe the next Hamilton on Drop will be more adequate!

The case back image shows the ETA 2824-2 caliber and the model shown there is not the same of this drop. However, this ⌚ has the ETA C07.611 caliber (Hamilton H-10) which has a slower BPH of 21,600 but you get 80 hours power reserve. Considering the price, this is a good deal ✅

WatchBase says it's based on the 111. Some more searching does say the H-10 is actually a hybrid...it's using the 2824 escapement, thus the jewel count.
IIRC...the 111 has the synthetic escapement, yes. The 611's is metal, BUT, IIRC, it's a new alloy. Not the same as in the 2824. So if the H-10 is using the 2824 escapement, it's still not a 611. There were a number of articles about the 2nd-gen Powermatic movements and some of the internal improvements, but finding them is a bear at this point. I personally don't think Swatch does themselves any favors with Hamilton and Longines, where they *commonly* tweak the base movement like this and give it an "in-house" designation. I can see it with the H-50; I believe it's still exclusive to Hamilton. And it's from the 2801 or 2804 base. But the rest...they just sow confusion.
Last point...there's certainly a hierarchy in the Swatch Group. Hamilton, Certina, Tissot, and Mido are all basically the same tier...but even in that tier, that's pretty much the ordering, low to high, for the most part. Rado and Longines are a step up. When I can find info on Rado's movements, they've usually been 6xx. Mido uses 6xx and 8xx. Tissot is all over the map...STRANGE portfolio. Hammy and Certina are really entry-level brands...so it makes more sense to say the H-10 is NOT a 6xx.
Not the strongest of arguments there, to be sure. But Swatch seems to adore obfuscation for its own sake.

CraigLewisYes surely the C07.611 is better than the 111 but lower than the 811 however all of those are based on the 2824/2 and you can find chronometer grade for all of them (111, 611, 811) so it's hard to compare those simply by the number so to speak.
The movement that is an actual step up and that you can only find on Rado, Longines and upper tiers are the A31.L01 or the A31.L11 which are based on the 2892/2 but running at 25,200 bph and providing 65 hours power reserve.

This is $50 below Jomashop and has a "Manufacturer’s 2-year warranty". If you like the watch this is a very good deal.
