FAQs

What type of movement does this watch use?

The Hamilton Khaki Aviation X-Wind uses the Hamilton H-21 Swiss automatic chronograph movement.

What is the power reserve of this watch?

The watch has a power reserve of approximately 60 hours.

Is the rotating bezel functional for actual crosswind calculations?

Yes, the inner rotating bezel is specifically designed to assist pilots in calculating crosswinds.

How water-resistant is the Khaki Aviation X-Wind?

It has a water resistance of 100 meters, making it suitable for daily wear, splashes, and brief immersion.

What material is the watch crystal made of?

The watch features a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.

How do I care for the textile strap?

Clean the textile strap gently with mild soap and water, and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight when drying.

Is this watch suitable for diving?

While it has 100m water resistance, it is not rated or designed for recreational diving. It is best suited for everyday activities and occasional water exposure.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped running

Ensure the watch has been worn recently or manually wind the crown clockwise 30-40 times in the first position. If the issue persists, the power reserve may be depleted, or it may require servicing.

Chronograph function not resetting to zero

Ensure the chronograph has been fully reset. If the hands do not return to zero after pressing the reset pusher, the movement may require adjustment by a qualified watchmaker.

Difficulty setting day or date

Ensure you are setting the day and date when the time is between 9 PM and 3 AM. Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 2 AM, as this can damage the movement. If problems persist, consult a watchmaker.

Condensation under the crystal

This may indicate a breach in water resistance. Remove the watch from any moisture immediately and have it inspected by a qualified watchmaker as soon as possible to prevent internal damage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial Setup:

Compatibility:

This watch is designed as a standalone mechanical timepiece. It is compatible with standard watch servicing procedures. The textile strap is designed for comfort and durability and is suitable for various weather conditions.

Care:

Cleaning: Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Clean the textile strap gently with mild soap and water, then allow it to air dry completely.
Water Resistance: The 100-meter water resistance is suitable for everyday wear, splashes, and brief immersion in water. Avoid prolonged submersion, high-velocity water, and operating pushers while wet.
Winding: As an automatic watch, it will wind itself with the motion of your wrist. If the watch has stopped, wind it manually by rotating the crown (in the first position) clockwise about 30-40 times before wearing it.
Service: It is recommended to have the watch serviced by a qualified watchmaker every 3-5 years to ensure optimal performance.
