Hamilton pilot pioneer chronograph


Recommended Posts

Hi just after a bit of info on my Hamilton pilot pioneer chronograph it is only 6mth old but got it out today to find out it had stopped and none of the sub dials will do anything if you push the reset buttons you can get the big second hand to work but don’t know how long this will go for just wondering if any one has any ideas (battery flat ) I am sending it back but would like any ideas

The whole lot had stopped then after trying to reset the 2small dials they would not do anything then after 5mins messing about managed to get the big second hand to go but none of the other dials will do anything

    • You're right Rich, throwing money at something that is practically worthless. I've had i happen a few times, its  disappointing, but a lesson learned in checking everything out before you put in too much effort. I'm still tempted to look through a load of balances and wheels i have to see whats doable with the genuine staffs, I'm thinking the  wheel that it came with is not genuine, it's had it weight completely hacked down. 
    • Ok thanks  it was just the brass cover next to the previous 3 keyless parts. Normally i wouldn't have expected that to be used to identify,  but I've searched American,  German and French part catalogs and coming up with nothing for the set lever,set spring and  yoke. I will have another look later today. There is another way but you would have to measure the stem very accurately. 
    • The diameter of the dial side is 40mm, and the other side 36,5mm. Here is another picture
    • The chronometer on the dial might just be a brand name, looking back yes i was mislead by the mention of Remontoir inside the case. Still not sure why it says Ancre Remontoir which translates to anchor winder, i imagine that means lever winder which still suggests to me 2 winding springs. I'm sure i have that same watch with chronometer on the dial ,I've never ventured inside it. My missus looks after 90% of my watches , so i will get hold of that one and have a look inside. Haha no not a remontoire, looks very basic.  Good to see the keyless works, can you measure the plate size to cut down on the search for them. Can you lay out that brass bridge cover as well please next to the other 3 pieces.
    • That's true. It is not a chronometer. As a matter of fact, I got it with another timepiece which is e real one, and only that (not a watch). I add a few pictures of my Chronometer / watch. no indication of a brand ...
