Introduction / Care and maintenance
Congratulations.
Hamilton is delighted that you have chosen a timepiece from its collection. You have acquired a small technologi-
cal marvel that will serve you faithfully for many years. The most advanced technologies were used throughout its
manufacture and it underwent stringent controls before it was released for sale.
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.
Five basic rules for maintaining the water-resistance of your watch
. Have your watch checked regularly.
. Do not move the crown when you are in water.
. Rinse o your watch with fresh water after any immersion 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 professional
watch service each time the case is opened.
Water resistance
The water resistance of your watch is indicated on the case back.

* The values given in feet or meters of immersion in water are equivalent to the degree of overpressure applied
during the tests according to the ISO standard.
Movement
Your watch is equipped with an automatic movement. The mechanism of the watch includes an oscillating ro-
tor that recharges the accumulator via the movement of your wrist. Fully charged, the running reserve is about
days. If necessary, the watch can be recharged manually by winding the crown clockwise. The beauty of the
mechanism can be admired through the transparent case back.
