3. Once wound, the watch should start ticking.

Funcionament del rellotge

Moviment automàtic

Your Hamilton Ventura Elvis80 Skeleton Auto watch is equipped with an automatic mechanical movement. This means it is powered by the natural motion of your wrist. When worn regularly, the oscillating weight inside the watch winds the mainspring, providing power. If the watch is not worn for an extended period (typically 40-80 hours depending on the power reserve), it will stop. Simply pick it up, give it a gentle shake, or manually wind it as described in the Setup section to restart it.

Resistència a l'aigua

This watch has a water resistance rating of 5 bar (50 meters). This rating means the watch is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes, rain, and brief immersion in water, such as washing hands. It is no suitable for swimming, showering, diving, or any water sports where the watch would be subjected to significant water pressure or prolonged immersion. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.

Manteniment

Neteja del rellotge

To maintain the appearance of your watch, regularly clean the case and strap.

• For the stainless steel case and sapphire crystal: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to gently wipe away dust and fingerprints. For more stubborn marks, slightly dampen the cloth with clean water and wipe, then dry immediately with a clean, dry cloth.
• For the rubber strap: The rubber strap can be cleaned with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before wearing. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Precaucions de resistència a l'aigua

While your watch is water resistant, it is crucial to follow these guidelines to preserve its integrity:

• Do not operate the crown or pushers (if any) when the watch is wet or submerged in water.
• Avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperature changes (e.g., hot shower immediately followed by cold water), as this can compromise seals.
• Have the water resistance seals checked by an authorized service center every 2-3 years, or after any significant impact.

Emmagatzematge

When not wearing your watch, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and strong magnetic fields. A watch box or pouch is ideal for protection.
