Hamilton Khaki Flight Timer Watch
On many occasions I've mentioned that I pretty much only feel comfortable wearing a quartz movement based watch when that movement offers functionality you can't find in a mechanical watch. Analog/digital watches such as this are a prime example. Offering the grace of analog time telling, the dials are enhanced with digital LCD screens that offer lots more functionality - as only an electronic watch can offer.New from Hamilton is this Khaki Flight Timer. Done in collaboration with the Air Zermatt helicopter rescue team in Switzerland, this is their new high-function pilot watch with a Swiss ETA quartz movement. You can see the Air Zermatt logo engraved on the caseback. Functionally this watch should do a lot even though I don't have a full spec sheet. The dial is broken up into a few negative LCD screen sections and the case has a crown along with three pushers. You can still read the time easily enough, and I like the large applied metal minute/hour markers. You'll of course see that

To The Purists
One of the things that I like about AP aficionado's is that they/we can appreciate and enjoy watches of all sizes. To me it is one of the only brands that embraces some pretty varied watch sizes. And does so well!

Does the 2500c movement suck, or is it all overblown?
I see a lot of sellers posting that their Omega Planet Oceans have the 2500D movement and not the dreaded 2500C movement. I know that the 2500C is accurate because I was able to tell that from searching around here. My question is about durability. Is it just a vocal ~.05% failure rate or is it more like 10% failure rate on the 2500C movement?How much would it cost to fix a failed 2500C assuming the warranty expired?Thanks!
