![]() While the red-display PSR stays true to the original, the green display is a bit easier to wear on a daily basis. It is fun to think of the display as a dial. The inclusion of a green digital display in a brushed stainless-steel case with a matching bracelet makes for an attractive combination to help round out the line. I think Hamilton might have found the best combination yet. As Jorg mentioned in his coverage of the black-and-red model, there are several color combinations that would look great. While each of these is great in its own right, expanding this range seems like the logical choice. Earlier this year, another stealthy black version with a red LCD-OLED hybrid screen joined the family ( covered by Jorg here). ![]() We have now seen two limited-edition models - one in gold PVD and a blacked-out version with a green display to celebrate the Matrix movies. More than two years on from the release of the original Hamilton PSR ( covered here by Balazs) the PSR is becoming more of a collection than a standalone model. While that is a story for another day, we will look at the latest addition to the line that traces its roots back to the original integrated-bracelet digital watch. You might be thinking, why has Hamilton branded this watch the PSR instead of going all in on Pulsar? Well, it’s complicated, as Hamilton sold the Pulsar brand in 1978. Inspired by the original Pulsar, this new green-display model slots nicely into the existing Hamilton PSR collection. Both the Apple Watch and the Pulsar represent the pinnacle of technology at the time, and while one has become ubiquitous, the new PSR is becoming more versatile. In fact, you could argue (it would be a stretch, but you could) that a certain smartwatch that until very recently needed a gesture to illuminate its screen might have taken some influence from the original Pulsar. However, both the original Pulsar and the PSR still manage to look futuristic in 2022. The Hamilton PSR is a modern re-edition of a vintage watch. While the recent releases have leaned into a futuristic style, this newest PSR might just be Hamilton’s most versatile take on this watch to date. In the two years since the debut of that watch, Hamilton has given us two additional blacked-out versions, including the PSR MTX to celebrate the pending release of the latest installment in the Matrix movie franchise. Just over two years ago, Hamilton celebrated the 50th anniversary of the original Pulsar by releasing the PSR.
