Hamilton H77616533 Watch Review Summary
My rating: 9/10. Excellent watch. Automatic movement with skeleton dial design.
Hello, today I’m doing an Hamilton H77616533 review. I recently took a look at the best automatic watches for men which sadly this watch couldn’t make it into as it was over the budget I’d set for the watches in the article. It is however still one of the most popular Hamilton watches going even if it does often set you back over £1000, so I wanted to feature it on the site today.
I hope you enjoy this Hamilton H77616533 review below.

Watch Review
Intro
The Hamilton watch company is a brand that’s owned by the massive Swatch group. They were originally an American storied watch design and manufacturing company that was incorporated in 1892 and produced their first watch in 1893. These days they produce many stunning Swiss made watches including this Khaki model that we’re reviewing today.
This model has a very interesting dial design, they’ve somehow managed to cram a lot of information on to the dial, without giving it this busy feel. The hour and minute hands seem a little small but they still do the job. The dial has a good use of lume on the hour markers and hands to make this watch easy to read in dim lit conditions which is useful. I like the day & date display on the left hand side of the watch which is a little different to the ordinary. You’ll notice the primary crown and pushers of the watch are also positioned on the left side of the casing for easy access even when wearing gloves. The casing itself is made of a surgical stainless steel.
Type Of Crystal
Protecting the dial we have a high quality synthetic sapphire crystal glass. This glass has a Mohs hardness rating of 9 and gives you some of the best scratch resistance available on a watch. Exactly you what you would expect to find in a luxury Hamilton watches like this.
Watch Movement
At the heart of the watch we find a Valjoux 7750 Swiss automatic movement. It’s a mechanical movement with automatic winding, rotor mounted on ball bearing, uni-directional winding, hack mechanism, and a 42 hour power reserve. The movements has a 28,800 BPH which is pretty impressive as well. This is a highly accurate high quality Swiss automatic movement that I’d be extremely pleased to have.
Watch Size
Everything is fairly standard when it comes to the sizing of this Hamilton watch. The casing diameter is 44mm and the thickness is 16mm. I guess you could say it will have a slightly chunky feel at 16mm but nothing too over the top in my opinion.
Strap
The strap is made of an ultra comfortable thick, stitched brown genuine leather that measures 22mm wide. This is a standard size that suits the overall size of the watch very nicely. The strap fastens using a typical buckle style clasp.
Extra features
A key extra feature of the watch is the semi-exposed caseback that you can see in the picture below. It’s not something you often find on watches, the semi-exposed style that is, it’s often either fully covered, or fully exposed so this is something a little different and interesting.
Water Resistance Rating
The water resistance level of this watch is 100m, this is suitable for this style of watch in my opinion. A rating of 100m / 10 Bar / 300ft makes this watch suitable for recreational surfing, swimming, snorkeling, sailing and water sports.
Watch Specifications
- Band Genuine leather strap, standard length, 22mm width, standard buckle clasp.
- Case Stainless steel casing, sizing diameter: 44mm and thickness: 16mm.

Watch Advantages
- Hamilton are known for their stunning high-quality luxury watches
- Features a Swiss automatic movement
- 10m water resistance rating
- Semi-exposed caseback allows you to take a peek at the workings of the watch
Watch Disadvantages
- If unworn for a length of time an automatic watch will run out of power, requiring the wearer to give it an initial wind and reset the time. This is common in automatic watches but still something some people find annoying.
My Final Thoughts On This Hamilton H77616533 Review:
The Hamilton H77616533 is another brilliant example of the stunning timepieces that the Hamilton brand are able to create. As I said earlier on, it’s a shame this model couldn’t make it into our best watches under £1000 list as it was above that limit, but many other Hamilton watches did going to show how popular the Hamilton brand it.
After looking into the watch design, quality, features, and pricing this watch received an 9/10 from us at The Watch Blog.
