Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your Hampton watch, gently pull out the crown to set the time, then push it back in firmly to ensure water resistance. Because this is a mechanical automatic watch, if the piece has stopped, manually wind the crown clockwise about 20-30 times to build up initial power before setting the time.
Care instructions include:
- Avoid magnetism: Keep the watch away from strong magnets (like those in speakers or electronics) to maintain timing accuracy.
- Regular cleaning: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe down the case and crystal to keep the finish looking polished.
- Servicing: As a mechanical timepiece, it is recommended to have the movement serviced every 3-5 years by an authorized technician to ensure the internal components remain lubricated and functional.
