2.2 Attaching the Strap
Your watch may come with the textile strap already attached. If not, align the spring bars of the strap with the lug holes on the watch case. Gently compress the spring bar and slide it into place until it clicks securely into the lug holes. Ensure both ends of the strap are firmly attached before wearing.
2.3 Initial Winding
As a manual-winding timepiece, your Hamilton Khaki Field Mechanical watch requires manual winding to operate. To initiate the movement, unscrew the crown (if applicable) and then turn it clockwise approximately 20-30 times until you feel resistance. This will fully wind the mainspring and provide the maximum 80-hour power reserve.
3. Operating the Watch
3.1 Setting the Time
To set the time, pull the crown out to its outermost position. The second hand will stop (hacking feature). Turn the crown clockwise or counter-clockwise to move the hour and minute hands to the desired time. Once set, push the crown back into its original position to restart the movement.

3.2 Daily Winding
For consistent and accurate timekeeping, it is recommended to wind your watch daily at approximately the same time. Turn the crown clockwise until you feel resistance. The H-50 movement provides an 80-hour power reserve, allowing for extended periods between windings if necessary.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Cleaning Your Watch
To maintain the appearance of your watch, clean the case and strap regularly with a soft, dry cloth. For the stainless steel case, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by drying with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
4.2 Water Resistance
Your watch is water resistant to 50 meters (5 bar / 72.5 psi). This means it is suitable for short periods of recreational swimming. However, it is not recommended for diving or prolonged water activities. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.

4.3 Professional Servicing
For optimal performance and longevity, it is recommended to have your watch serviced by an authorized Hamilton service center every 3-5 years. Regular servicing ensures the movement remains lubricated and accurate.
5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Watch Not Running
If your watch stops running, ensure it is fully wound. Turn the crown clockwise approximately 20-30 times. If the watch still does not start, it may require professional inspection.
5.2 Inaccurate Timekeeping
Minor variations in timekeeping are normal for mechanical watches. However, if you notice significant or consistent inaccuracy, it is advisable to have the watch inspected by an authorized service center.
