Over four decades ago, Hamilton launched the first edition of the Pan Europ, a modestly priced, polychromatic, racing chronograph with striking aesthetics, and a world renowned Caliber 11 movement, that may very have helped to ensure this watch’s success. Today, I had the chance to see Hamilton’s newest version of the Pan Europ which, though lacking a chronograph, is likely to be one of the most wallet-friendly, new, racing wristwatches on the market.
