I always say that Hamilton is the best $3000 watch that you can pay about $800 for.
I did some research on my Hamilton, and discovered that it uses the Valjoux 7750 movement.
There are many high-end Swiss watches that use the same movement as my Hamilton automatic chronograph, but charge 4 to 5 times as much.
The Valjoux 7750 is a widely used movement since it wass introduction in 1973. It is used as the basis of many chronographs from companies including Baume & Mercier, Breitling, Fortis, Franck Muller, Longines, Minerva, OMEGA, Oris, and Universal Genève.
The Omega Seamaster model 1164 is also based on this same movement.
