Hamilton destroys Dalek beacon power

Hamilton's wristwatch serves as the timing mechanism for the critical act of sabotage. Its face is visible during the countdown, reflecting the dim emergency lighting as Hamilton articulates the final seconds. The watch's precision timing allows Hamilton to synchronize his action with the moment of maximum tactical impact despite limited visibility and cramped conditions.

Before: Secured on Hamilton’s wrist, fully functional and synchronized to the bomb’s timer. Movable in the confined space, its brass casing reflecting the dim light.

After: Still affixed to Hamilton’s wrist, unscathed, its dials frozen at the moment of detonation. Its role completed, it becomes a silent witness to the event’s outcome.
