 Nope, as far as I know all current Hamiltons use Swiss ETA movements.  Most of them have enough Swiss content to legally use Swiss Made on the dial, although they usually put it on the back of the watch.  I think they keep it off the dial to play up the whole American angle.

Some of the watches don't rate Swiss Made, but they still use real ETA movements.  My Khaki Mechanical had a case made in China, but the movement was Swiss made ETA 2804-2.

This only applies to watches from the past 3 or 4 years.  I don't know what the deal is with watches made earlier.
