Configuración

1. Bobinado inicial

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. Once wound, the watch should start ticking.

2. Configuración de la hora

1. Tire de la corona hasta la posición 2 (la más externa). El segundero se detendrá, lo que permite ajustar la hora con precisión.
2. Gire la corona en el sentido de las agujas del reloj o en el sentido contrario para ajustar las manecillas de las horas y los minutos a la hora deseada.
3. Una vez ajustada la hora, vuelva a colocar la corona en la posición 0 (posición de funcionamiento normal). El segundero reanudará su movimiento.

Operación de su reloj

Movimiento automático

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.

Resistencia al agua

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.

Mantenimiento

Limpieza de su reloj

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.

Precauciones de resistencia al agua

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.
• Evite exponer el reloj a cambios extremos de temperatura (por ejemplo, ducha caliente seguida inmediatamente de agua fría), ya que esto puede comprometer los sellos.
• Have the water resistance seals checked by an authorized service center every 2-3 years, or after any significant impact.

Almacenamiento

Cuando no use el reloj, guárdelo en un lugar fresco y seco, alejado de la luz solar directa, temperaturas extremas y campos magnéticos fuertes. Una caja o funda para relojes es ideal para protegerlo.
