Hamilton maintenance and care tips
WATER RESISTANT HAMILTON WATCHES
Hamilton watches are all tested for water-resistance, and this is marked on the back of each watch’s case. Like many watch brands, the water-resistance of a Hamilton watch may be weakened by the ageing of the watch.
Although the watches may be marked to prove it is water resistance, the water-resistance of a watch is not permanent Keep in mind that external influences like perspiration, chlorine, saltwater, ultraviolet rays and cosmetic products can all affect the condition of the watch’s sealing over time.
To keep your watch in the best condition after contact with chlorine or saltwater always wash it with pure, clear water. If you are often wearing you, Hamilton watches while in water, we suggest that you have it maintained yearly.
While wearing the watch, refrain from using the push button function or turning bezels underwater. The water-resistance of your watch is marked on the back of the case marked as either:
- 3 bar (30 m) / 43 psi (98.4 ft)
- 5 bar (50 m) / 73 psi (164 ft)
- 10 bar (100 m) / 145 psi (328 ft)
- 15 bar (150 m) / 217 psi (492 ft)
- 20 bar (200 m) / 290 psi (656.1 ft)
- 100 bar (1000 m) / 1450 psi (3280.8 ft)
HAMILTON WATCHES: LEATHER STRAP
If you have had a leather watch before then, you will know that leather straps change over time. The leather is a natural material. Therefore, it will get softer over time due to natural ageing. If you wear your leather watch strap daily, Hamilton recommends that you change the strap every twelve months.
HAMILTON WATCHES CARE TIPS
There are lots of ways of maintaining your Hamilton watch strap. When buying a timepiece, there are certain things you can do to keep it in good condition for as long as possible; Hamilton watches recommend that their customers do the following:
- Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight on your leather watch as this may cause discolouration.
- Avoid spraying or applying oily substances and cosmetics when you are wearing your watch as this may cause damage to your watch.
- If you are planning on wearing your watch in water, it may be best to avoid leather straps as wetness can cause fading of colour, avoid contact with any kind of water. If you are wearing your watch in water remember that you should always rinse it with clear water as salt and chlorine can damage it.
- When cleaning your timepiece, clean the leather strap with a soft dry cloth as chemical substances can damage it. Watch strap replacement can take a matter of days and may vary in pricing.
CLEANING YOUR HAMILTON WATCH
It is safe to wipe your Hamilton timepiece with a soft, dry cloth periodically. You can also clean your water-resistant watch cases, steel bracelets and rubber straps with a small brush. This is possible with a toothbrush and soapy water.
Make sure when you are cleaning your Hamilton watch you rinse it with clear water afterwards, always using a soft cloth to dry it.
CHEMICAL PRODUCTS

Avoid magnetic fields like speakers, electric devices, security gates at airports or other electromagnetic appliances when you are wearing your Hamilton watch. These type devices can yield strong magnetic fields which could affect the functions of your watch.
TEMPERATURES AND SHOCKS
Hamilton recommends that users avoid exposure to extreme climatic changes, such as:
- exposure to sunlight followed by immersion in cold water
- extreme temperatures over 60°C (140°F)
- extreme temperatures under than 0°C (32°F).
Avoid wearing your Hamilton watch while playing sports. Playing Golf, Tennis with your watch on could expose your watch to heavy shocks that have the potential to damage the micromechanical parts in the movement.
HAMILTON WATCH BATTERIES
Watch batteries last from around two and five years, however, this depends on the watch’s movement type, and the energy is used to complete its different functions. It is easy to tell when a Hamilton watch’s battery needs to be changed as the second hand will jump in 4-second intervals.
To avoid the risk of leakage that may cause damage to the watch mechanism, take your watch to a watch repair service as soon as possible.
