Care and maintenance
Recommendations
Like all micro-mechanical precision instruments, your
Hamilton watch should be checked at least once every
two years. Entrust your watch only to an authorized
Hamilton agent. To keep your watch water-resistant,
make sure that its sealing features are tested at every
check-up.
The water-resistance of your watch is indicated on the
case back.
Ex: 3 ATM = 30 meters = 100 feet / 5 ATM = 50 meters
= 165 feet / 10 ATM = 100 meters = 330 feet / 20 ATM =
200 meters = 660 feet (page 78)

Automatic movement. The mechanism of
the watch includes an oscillating rotor that
winds the mainspring via the motion of your
wrist. The power reserve is approximately 42
hours. If necessary, the watch may be rewound
manually. With most of our models, the beauty
of the inner working of the watch movement
can be admired through the transparent case
back.

Quartz movement. The electrical energy pro-
vided by the battery causes the quartz in the
interior of the watch movement to oscillate
32,768 times per second. This high frequency
gives great accuracy. The seconds hand ad-
vances in steps.

Adjustments
NB: On certain models the crown is screwed down
to guarantee optimal water-resistance. It must be
unscrewed to make adjustments. After adjustments
make sure it is screwed down again.
Please note that water-resistance is only guaranteed
when the crown is screwed down.
