Hamilton PSR H52414130 Unisex Watch
- Brand: Unbranded
Description
Accuracy: No data available from the manufacturer’s literature, but it’s dead-nuts at 0 seconds / day, so far (see addendum above). The online WIS community dislikes butterfly clasps. Their kvetch? Butterfly clasps don’t tend to offer micro-adjustments and they’re more tedious to secure on the wrist. Display Technology: The watch features a hybrid dual display utilizing LCD/OLED technology. [Liquid Crystal Display / Organic Light Emitting Diode.] If you desire to resize the PSR bracelet yourself, do it in the center of a large towel so that the small pins and sleeves will not roll away to be lost on a floor or carpet. Just take great care! The parts should not ‘go flying’ during removal. The new Hamilton PSR looks precisely like its vintage counterpart. The name on the case needed to be changed and the size also adapted to modern standards. We have a 40 x 35mm case here in either steel (standard model) or gold PVD coated steel (limited edition). The bracelet looks like all those other iconic ones we are used to seeing on our favorite vintage chronographs. You know, the 1171s or the 1162s.
The seconds remain illuminated for 10 seconds and then turn off. That’s it! No other functions. Not even the date. Just like the original Pulsar P2. Time Readout Size: The size of the time readout text is ~15mm (~0.590”) W X ~4mm (~0.157”) H. It is very easy to read, even though the readout display size ‘sounds’ small. Its readout size is good, even if you hold the watch out at arm’s length.For my small flattish arm size of 155.6mm (6-1/8”), 9 of the 13 removable links were removed. As the links are relatively short, you should be able to obtain an acceptable to perfect fit. I hope so, as there is no micro-adjust feature. Case: It is a brushed Stainless-Steel tapered case measuring ~40.8mm (~1.606”) wide including the operating button. The ‘long’ distance in total across all aspects of the case including its integrated center lugs measures ~45.6mm (~1.796”). OMEGA made the original moon and James Bond watches. Not my jam. Contrarian that I am, I was captivated by Bulova’s “other” Moon Watch, the Lunar Pilot. It stands to reason that I find the “other” Bond Watch appealing. Enter the Hamilton PSR, a remake of the Pulsar P2 digital wonder-watch of 1972 . . . In the film, Moneypenny also comes to Bond's apartment and hands him his Rolex Submariner, “Q has repaired your wristwatch”. Box and Papers: A dark blue Hamilton outer box is supplied, containing a ‘wood simulated’ hinged watch box. In with the watch were the price tag and model tag. You also get what all manufacturers supply, a warranty card and the normal booklet set.
In this video I’m unboxing a Hamilton PSR (Ref. H52414130) wristwatch. The PSR is a modern interpretation of the first all-electronic digital watch, the Pulsar watch from the 1970s. If you require an extra large bracelet or you are in need of additional links these may be supplied at an additional cost.
Bracelet: The PSR has a Stainless-Steel 24mm (0.945”) bracelet, tapering to 16.0mm (0.630”) at the clasp, and the clasp is the “Butterfly” folding type with a release button on each side. The bracelet appears to be of good engineering and build quality. After the P1 came the P2 in 1973, a more affordable and steel version. It was this P2 model that appeared in the James Bond film Live and Let Die. We understand the importance of sizing the length of your watch bracelet or strap to provide the perfect fit. Our simple to use watch sizing guide allows you to measure the size of your wrist from the comfort of your own home. A few months ago, visiting a local jewelry store for a Breitling service, I spotted a Hamilton PSR in a display case. (Who knew you could go out and see watches in the flesh?) It felt like a well-made piece; the build quality was evident. My inner 10-year-old hankered after the LED display. Crystal: The Sapphire crystal is slightly raised from the case, and flat. It would be nicer if it was curved to fit with the case profile, but in the end, this is really no big deal.
Timer Module: A quartz timer module runs the digital watch. There is no actual “AM” or “PM” text in the display, but there is a need to set the watch to AM or PM. During setting, as the hours increment, the display changes to 0:00 at midnight. You do not want the watch to display 0:00 at noon; that is just embarrassing.ETA (5/19/21): After seven weeks, the Hamilton PSR is an honest-to-goodness +/- 0 seconds per day accurate.
The watch clasp is a double folding clasp and integrated bracelet, which you might have to resize to make it fit. Hamilton's timepiece unites a tough stainless steel case with a silver strap created from stainless steel. Hamilton PSR H52414130 We strongly recommend Royal Mail’s Special Delivery Service with full insurance for returning items to us. This was probably one of the most unique, technically advanced and modern watches to appear in a Bond film. Audiences must have been amazed by the digital electronic wrist computer watch, at a time when computers still were the size of a large room.

The Hamilton PSR appeals to 50 and 60-something nostalgic nerds who recall the fascination of digital watches in the 70s. I bet it’s also worn by tech geeks who snigger at their predecessors’“ancient” technology while secretly lusting after a Patek. Either way, the PSR’s a watch that proves that mechanical watches don’t have sole claim over retro vintage mania. Hamilton has recreated the watch in virtually the same case design and cool red digits, but with modern and more energy efficient screens to get that effect. In the lower right corner of the crystal is a very tiny area which contains the ambient light sensor. The sensor implementation optimizes battery life.
