Sapphire crystal and display caseback, and crocodile strap, the Hamilton JazzMaster Maestro is possibly the best bang for your buck that you will find -- period. We dare you to find another watch with the JazzMaster Maestro’s features for less.

At a glance, it resembles a number of other dressy chronographs, with its silver or black dial, traditional chronograph layout, classically shaped case, and Arabic numerals. But where this watch wins points for uniqueness is in the fact that it does so much for so little. The watches that it resembles and whose movement it shares come from brands costing thousands more, such as Breitling, TAG Heuer and IWC.

A watchmaker and the quality and value of the brand is top-notch. Hamilton was the only US watchmaker that was allowed to be worn by railway employees timing train movements.
