2. Setup

2.1 Initial Winding

As an automatic self-wind watch, the H70555533 is powered by the motion of your wrist. If the watch has stopped or is running low on power, it may require an initial manual wind:

1. Gently unscrew the crown (if applicable) and pull it out to position 1.
2. Turn the crown clockwise approximately 20-30 times. This will build up enough power reserve to start the watch.
3. Push the crown back in and screw it down to ensure water resistance.

2.2 Setting Time and Date

To set the correct time and date:

1. Pull the crown out to position 2 (the outermost position). The second hand will stop.
2. Turn the crown to adjust the hour and minute hands. Rotate the hands past 12 o'clock to determine if it's AM or PM (the date will change around midnight).
3. Once the correct time is set, push the crown back to position 1.
4. To set the date, pull the crown out to position 1. Turn the crown counter-clockwise to advance the date. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement.
5. After setting the date, push the crown back in and screw it down firmly to maintain water resistance.

3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Reading the Time and GMT Scale

The watch features a clear black dial with both 12-hour and 24-hour (GMT) markings. The inner ring displays the 24-hour time, allowing for easy tracking of a second time zone or military time.

3.2 Water Resistance

Your Hamilton Khaki Field H70555533 watch is water resistant to 100 meters (330 feet). This means it is generally suitable for:

• Splashes and brief immersion in water.
• Swimming and snorkeling.

Caution: It is NOT suitable for scuba diving or high-impact water sports. Always ensure the crown is fully screwed down before any water exposure.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning Your Watch

To maintain the appearance of your watch:

• Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, dry cloth.
• For stainless steel parts, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by a dry polish.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

4.2 Leather Band Care

The brown leather band is susceptible to wear and tear. To prolong its life:

• Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and moisture.
• Clean with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap if necessary, then allow to air dry completely.
• Consider using a leather conditioner periodically.

4.3 Automatic Movement Care

The automatic movement relies on regular wear to maintain its power reserve. If worn daily, it should not require manual winding. For optimal performance and longevity, it is recommended to have your watch serviced by an authorized Hamilton service center every 3-5 years.

5. Troubleshooting

5.1 Watch Not Running

• Insufficient Power Reserve: If the watch has not been worn or manually wound for an extended period, it may have run out of power. Manually wind the watch as described in Section 2.1.
• Movement Issue: If the watch still does not run after manual winding, there may be an internal movement issue. Contact Hamilton customer support or an authorized service center.

5.2 Date/Time Not Changing Correctly

• Incorrect Setting: Ensure the time and date are set correctly, avoiding the "danger zone" for date setting (9 PM to 3 AM).
• Crown Not Fully Engaged: Make sure the crown is pushed in and screwed down completely after setting.

5.3 Water Intrusion

• If moisture is observed inside the watch, immediately take it to an authorized service center. Do not attempt to open the watch yourself.
• Ensure the crown is always fully screwed down before any contact with water.
