Hamilton Below Zero...Not your Dad's Diver!!

Post by 1watchaholic » Fri Sep 02, 2011 8:15 pm

With the holiday weekend, finally able to post one of my new additions to the dive family...a Hamilton Below Zero 46mm Pro Dive Watch. I have wanted one of these for a long time. I met a local WUS guy selling his and it was more impressive in person. The watch is large but not overpowering for my 7.5 wrist. The bracelet weights a ton, so I don't know if I'll ever hook her up. The Rubber strap is very comfortable and will get most of the usage. The shape of the case is what won me over. Something a little on the wild side. Speaking of wild side...the Zero at the 12:00 marker is also a unique touch to make this watch a winner for Hamilton! :fro:

Kinda looks like the love child of a Panerai Submersible and a Bell & Ross BR01. Not necessarily my cuppa, but it definitely makes a statement, that's for sure.

not my cup of tea but definitely a cool ass watch with a OG design.

I think there is someone else here that has one too.

Yeah, not everybody's cup of tea but that's the appeal on this one for me. Add an orange to my bag o apples! It's warm today here in So. Cal so I think I'll take her down about 1830 today...millimeters that is! :lol:

Very nice. I was close to getting one of these a few months back, it had a black leather strap. I'm a big fan of Hamilton, I've owned 2 (46mm pilot & and field officer mechanical) I'm buying my wife one this weekend for her b-day.
Nice pickup, I also like that it's the 100m version.

I like Hamilton and have owned several. Great quality for the price I paid for them.
