Impostare

1. Avvolgimento iniziale

As an automatic watch, your Hamilton Ventura Elvis80 Skeleton is powered by the motion of your wrist. However, for initial setup or if the watch has stopped due to inactivity, it is recommended to manually wind it.

1. Gently pull the crown (the knob on the side of the watch) out to position 1 (if applicable, for time setting, it's usually position 2). For winding, ensure the crown is in its normal, pushed-in position (position 0).
2. Turn the crown clockwise approximately 20-30 times. You will feel a slight resistance as the mainspring winds. Do not overwind.
3. Una volta caricato, l'orologio dovrebbe iniziare a ticchettare.

2. Impostazione dell'ora

1. Pull the crown out to position 2 (the outermost position). The second hand will stop, allowing for precise time setting.
2. Ruotare la corona in senso orario o antiorario per impostare le lancette delle ore e dei minuti sull'ora desiderata.
3. Una volta impostata l'ora, riportare la corona in posizione 0 (normale posizione di funzionamento). La lancetta dei secondi riprenderà a muoversi.

Utilizzo dell'orologio

Movimento automatico

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.

Resistenza all'acqua

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 non 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.

Manutenzione

Pulizia dell'orologio

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.

Precauzioni per la resistenza all'acqua

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.

Magazzinaggio

Quando non indossi l'orologio, conservalo in un luogo fresco e asciutto, lontano dalla luce solare diretta, da temperature estreme e da forti campi magnetici. Una scatola o un astuccio per orologi sono ideali per proteggerlo.
