FAQs

What is the power reserve of the H-10 movement?

The H-10 automatic movement in this Jazzmaster Performer features an impressive 80-hour power reserve.

How do I manually wind the watch?

To manually wind the watch, ensure the crown is in its fully closed position and rotate it clockwise approximately 30-40 times.

What is the case material and finish?

The case is made of stainless steel with a rose gold PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coating.

Is this watch suitable for swimming?

While the watch has some water resistance for daily wear, it is not specifically designed for swimming. Avoid prolonged submersion or high-pressure water activities.

What is the strap made of and how is it secured?

The strap is made of black perforated leather, designed for a sporty aesthetic. It is secured with a buckle clasp.

Can the strap be easily changed?

Yes, the strap can be changed using a standard spring bar tool. This allows for customization with other compatible watch straps.

What does 'PVD coated' mean?

PVD coating is a vacuum coating process that applies a durable, decorative layer. In this case, it provides the rose gold finish to the stainless steel case.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped working

If the watch has stopped, it may need to be wound manually. Rotate the crown clockwise about 30-40 times while it is in the fully closed position. Ensure the watch is worn regularly to keep the automatic movement wound.

Inaccurate timekeeping

Mechanical watches can experience minor variations. If significant inaccuracy persists, ensure the watch has been fully wound and is not subjected to strong magnetic fields. If the issue continues, professional servicing may be required.

Strap replacement difficulties

Use a spring bar tool to carefully remove the old strap by compressing the spring bars. Install the new strap by aligning the spring bars with the lug holes and releasing them. Ensure the strap is securely in place.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional 80-hour power reserve offers convenience and extended wear between automatic winding.
  • Elegant rose gold PVD coating on a stainless steel case provides a premium look.
  • Classic white dial with racing-style strap offers a distinguished and versatile aesthetic.
  • Reliable Swiss automatic movement ensures accurate timekeeping.
  • 38mm size is classic and suitable for those preferring smaller, elegant watches.

Cons

  • The 38mm case size may be too small for individuals preferring larger modern watch dimensions.
  • Specific water resistance rating is not detailed, suggesting caution with significant water submersion.
  • Perforated strap, while stylish, may not be as durable as solid leather for very active use.
  • Automatic movement requires regular wear or periodic winding to maintain accuracy.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The watch is primarily set up through its crown. Pull the crown out to the first position to adjust the date (if applicable) and to the second position to set the time. Ensure the crown is fully pushed back in to maintain water resistance.

Compatibility: This is a mechanical timepiece and does not rely on electronic compatibility. The leather strap may be replaceable with other 20mm standard watch straps if desired, though official Hamilton straps are recommended for perfect fit and aesthetic.

Care:

  • Winding: If the watch has stopped, wind it by rotating the crown clockwise about 30-40 times while in the closed position. For daily wear, the natural motion of your wrist should keep it wound. If worn infrequently, a watch winder can help maintain its charge.
  • Cleaning: Wipe the case and crystal gently with a soft, dry cloth. For the leather strap, avoid prolonged exposure to moisture and direct sunlight. Use a dedicated leather cleaner sparingly if needed.
  • Water Resistance: While designed for everyday use, avoid exposing the watch to high-pressure water, saunas, or steam, as these can compromise the seals. Always ensure the crown is secured before any water exposure.
