. Recommendations

 Like all micro-mechanical precision instruments, your

Hamilton watch should be checked at least once

every two years. Entrust your watch to an authorized

Hamilton repair center or to any other professional

watch service.

 To keep your watch water-resistant, make sure that

its sealing features are tested at every check-up.

 Do not move the crown when you are in water.

 Rinse o your watch with fresh water after any immer-

sion in seawater.

 Dry your watch whenever it gets wet.

 Have your watch checked for water-resistance by an

authorized Hamilton retailer or by any other profes-

sional watch service each time the case is opened.

. Water-resistance

The water-resistance of your watch is indicated on the

case back.

. Leather straps

Hamilton recommends that you follow the steps below

in order to preserve the condition of your leather strap

for as long as possible:

 Avoid contact with water and dampness to prevent

discoloration and deformation.

 Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight to prevent the

color from fading.

 Do not forget that leather is permeable ! Therefore

avoid contact with greasy substances and cosmetic

products.

 If you have a problem with your leather strap, please

contact your nearest Hamilton retailer.

. Batteries

Watch batteries can last between two and ve years,

depending on the watch type, its size and the amount

of energy used by the various functions. If the seconds

hand starts to move in -second steps, the battery

should be changed by your Hamilton agent.

Replacing the battery

We recommend that you contact an approved Hamilton

service center or authorized Hamilton retailer, as they

are equipped with the tools and apparatus required to

carry out the work and the necessary checks in a profes-

sional manner. A worn-out battery should be replaced

immediately in order to reduce the risk of leakage and

consequent damage to the movement.

Battery type

Button-type zinc-silver oxide primary battery cell.

. Magnetic elds

To prevent malfunctions of your watch avoid coming

into contact with magnetic elds such as those of mag-

nets, loudspeakers, cell phones, refrigerators, etc.
