That's cool Johnny. Love the copper.

How old is it? Looks circa 1990s.

Thanks Guy, bought around 2001 I think at their discount store in Orlando.
I have another in a slightly different style in blue. The bracelet is high shine and very heavy, some of their watches are weird and not to
everyone's taste. They stopped making watches a couple of years ago.

Batteries can be a problem, not because they don't last long but no high street jeweller will touch them, thankfully I am lucky there is a chap at a nearby market who Is just brilliant and never has a problem with them, he only charges a couple of quid - always give him a tip as he has been so helpful to me over the years, keep telling him not to retire if he wasn't there I don't know what I would do!
He is really good.

However, Omega messed him around for so long that by mid July I decided to send it off to Omega themselves. I did this via a local AD who then sat on it (not literally!) unnecessarily for a couple of weeks, hence I only got it back yesterday. But at least it's back now, working perfectly and looking like new, so I'm happy! It's good to have it back. :)

I've been hot on vintage inspired drivers chronographs lately, this is my first Hamilton, I think it's a keeper.

I agree that does look great and the Aqua Terra is a model I'm taking more of an interest in recently as a potential next steel sports watch (that is not a diver/bezel-less)

Thanks Paul. Very understated, quite casual, but a peach.
