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 20 ATM = 200 meters = 660 feet.

Quartz movement: the electrical energy of the battery makes the quartz at the interior of the movement oscillate 32,768 times per second. This high frequency gives great accuracy. The battery is type Renata 371 (SR 920 SW).

Automatic movement: the mechanism of the watch includes an oscillating rotor (28,800 alternations per hour / 4Hz) that winds the mainspring via the movement of your wrist. If necessary, the watch may be rewound manually. The beauty of the inner working of the watch movement can be admired through the transparent case back.

* Used batteries and watch components should not be thrown away in household rubbish but should be properly recycled. It is recommended that you bring them to your retailer.
