hey,
I repair a lot of mechanical watches, some electrics but haven't tried the Hamilton yet nor this particular Swiss ESA movement.
the website mentioned is excellent and the owner seems to be an expert in electrics having been given many hints from Rene Rondeau himself.
the watch you are showing contains a very popular ESA Dynotron movement - the first electric transistored movement - called electronic ;)
you can buy a watch (movement) for 10$ so if you don't have the time to repair just buy another watch usually called Swissonic. that's the ESA brand used for their transistored watches.
(search for Elgin Swissonic, Benrus, and many, many more)
