I've had this watch for about four years now and *love* it. It's utterly reliable and so easy to read the time quickly. I have several good watches, but Hamilton automatics leads the pack for value in quality Swiss timepieces. Excellent ETA movement at its heart (which you can see through the crystal on the underside of the watch), water resistant to 100M, and with a soothing, neverending tick-tick and a sweep second hand... I'd buy it again in a second. Totally recommended.
