Setup

1. Initial Winding

Before wearing your watch for the first time, or if it has stopped, it needs to be manually wound.

1. Ensure the crown is in position 1 (fully pushed in, against the case).
2. Turn the crown clockwise repeatedly. You will feel a slight resistance as the mainspring tightens.
3. Continue winding until you feel a firm stop. Do not force the crown past this point to avoid damage. Approximately 30-40 full turns are usually sufficient for a full power reserve.

2. Setting the Time

To set the correct time:

1. Pull the crown out to position 2 (the outermost position). The second hand will stop, allowing for precise time setting.
2. Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to move the hands to the desired time.
3. Once the time is set, push the crown back into position 1 (fully in) to restart the movement.

Operating Your Watch

Daily Winding

For optimal accuracy and consistent operation, it is recommended to wind your Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical Watch daily, preferably at the same time each day. This ensures the mainspring maintains sufficient tension.

Time Adjustment

If minor time adjustments are needed, follow the "Setting the Time" instructions. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in after adjustment to maintain water resistance.

Maintenance

Cleaning

• Case: Wipe the watch case with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Strap: The beige canvas strap can be gently cleaned with a mild soap and water solution. Allow it to air dry completely before wearing. Avoid excessive soaking.

Water Resistance

Your Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical Watch has a water resistance rating of 5 bar (50 meters). This means it is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water, such as showering or light swimming.

Important:

• Do not operate the crown while the watch is wet or submerged.
• Water resistance is not a permanent condition and may decrease over time due to wear and tear on gaskets. It is recommended to have the water resistance checked periodically by an authorized service center.
• Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes, which can affect the gaskets.

Professional Service

Mechanical watches require periodic servicing to maintain optimal performance and accuracy. It is recommended to have your watch serviced by an authorized Hamilton service center every 3-5 years.
