Hamilton American Classic Boulton Small Second Quartz M

The Hamilton American Classic Boulton Small Second Quartz M is widely praised for its attractive vintage design and timeless appeal, with owners calling it a stunning and underrated dress watch. Some owners find its gold tone less convincing than solid-gold alternatives, and one owner expressed a preference for the watch to lack a seconds hand or have a central one that does not obscure the VI numeral. The quartz movement is noted for its durability against shocks, smooth winding, hacking seconds, and easy syncing. Overall, owners rate the Hamilton American Classic Boulton Small Second Quartz M highly for its classic Art Deco design and value.

Omega Constellation Quartz

Owners widely praise the Omega Constellation Quartz for its clean, elegant design and compact 28mm case, which fits smaller wrists well, with one owner describing their gold-filled example's well-worn bracelet as feeling like butter. Some owners appreciate its integrated bracelet and lack of extraneous features, finding specific black and gold variants particularly appealing. One owner notes their vintage quartz model runs approximately -15 seconds per day after service, which they consider acceptable for its age. Owners are split on its wearability on larger wrists, though many prefer this vintage design over current Constellation models. Overall, owners rate the Omega Constellation Quartz highly for its elegant design and comfortable fit on smaller wrists.
