Full details

The Hamilton American Classic Intra-Matic Automatic Watch (40mm) is for individuals seeking a blend of vintage-inspired style and modern reliability. Its key benefit is offering a sophisticated, retro aesthetic powered by a robust Swiss automatic movement with an extended power reserve, suitable for daily wear or special occasions. A potential caveat is its 50m water resistance, which is adequate for splashes but not for swimming.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

How long does the power reserve last?

The Hamilton H-10 automatic movement features an impressive 80-hour power reserve.

Is this watch waterproof?

The watch has a water resistance of 50 meters (5 ATM), which means it can withstand splashes and light rain but is not suitable for swimming or diving.

How do I set the date?

Pull the crown out to the second position and turn it to set the date. Ensure you do this between 9 AM and 3 PM to avoid issues with the date change mechanism.

Does the watch require a battery?

No, this is an automatic watch powered by the movement of your wrist or manual winding. It does not use a battery.

What is the case made of?

The case is made of polished stainless steel.

What type of crystal does it have?

It features a domed sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating.

Can I wear this watch while sleeping?

While you can technically wear it, it's generally recommended to remove watches during sleep to prevent accidental damage and allow your skin to breathe. If not worn, ensure it is wound sufficiently to maintain its power reserve.

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped working

Gently shake the watch for 1-2 minutes or manually wind the crown clockwise 30-40 times. Ensure the watch is not over 80 hours past its last winding or wear.

Inaccurate timekeeping

Ensure the watch is fully wound. If the issue persists, exposure to strong magnetic fields might affect accuracy; demagnetization may be required. Contact a service center if accuracy issues continue.

Crown is difficult to turn

Ensure the crown is properly pushed in or screwed down (depending on model design). If it remains stiff, do not force it and consult a watchmaker.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is an automatic watch and does not require battery replacement. To start the watch, gently shake it for a minute or two, or manually wind the crown by turning it clockwise while it is in the closed position. The watch will begin ticking. If the watch stops, it will need to be wound again.

Compatibility: The watch comes with a standard leather strap and a pin buckle, compatible with most aftermarket watch straps of the same lug width (usually 20mm for a 40mm case, please verify).

Care:

Cleaning: Wipe the case and crystal with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Strap Care: Condition the leather strap periodically to maintain its flexibility and appearance. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture.
Winding: To maintain the 80-hour power reserve, ensure the watch is worn regularly or wind it manually every few days if not worn.
Water Resistance: While rated at 50 meters, this primarily protects against splashes and rain. Avoid submerging the watch in water.
