How to set the time on the Hamilton Khaki Automatic X-Wind watch?

Unscrew crown A. Pull it fully to position (III). Turn the crown in the desired direction to set the time. Push it back fully and screw it down.

How to set the date and day?

Unscrew crown A. Pull it to intermediate position (II). Turn counterclockwise for the date and clockwise for the day. Avoid between 8 PM and 2 AM. Push back and screw.

How to use the chronograph?

Press pusher B to start. Press again to stop. Read the time on the counters (60s, 30min, 12h). Press C to reset to zero.

How to manually wind the watch?

Turn crown A in position (I) clockwise about 30 times.

What is the power reserve of the watch?

The power reserve is approximately 60 hours when the movement is fully wound.

How to use the Crosswind function to calculate crosswind?

Position the red arrow of the upper inner bezel to 12 o'clock. Set the lower bezel to 0. Enter the wind direction via crown D, then the aircraft speed on the outer bezel. Calculate the wind angle, then use the chart to find the crosswind component. Read the drift angle on the inner bezel.

Is the Hamilton Khaki Automatic X-Wind watch water resistant?

Yes, the water resistance is indicated on the case back (e.g., 10 bar/100 m). To preserve water resistance, always screw down the crowns after use and have the gaskets checked during periodic inspections.

How to maintain the leather strap?

Avoid any contact with water, moisture, grease, and cosmetics. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight to prevent discoloration.

What to do if the watch malfunctions?

Entrust your watch to an authorized Hamilton dealer or a professional retailer. Do not open it yourself to preserve water resistance.

How to adjust the inner bezel for the Crosswind function?

Use crown D for the upper inner bezel and crown E for the lower inner bezel. Turn to align the necessary markers according to the calculations.

Introduction Care and maintenance

Congratulations.

Hamilton is delighted that you have chosen a timepiece from its collection. You have acquired a small technological marvel that will serve you faithfully for many years. The most advanced technologies were used throughout its manufacture and it underwent stringent controls before it was released for sale.

Recommendations

• Like all micro-mechanical precision instruments, your Hamilton watch should be checked at least once every two years. Entrust your watch to an authorized Hamilton repair center or to any other professional watch service.
• To keep your watch water-resistant, make sure that its sealing features are tested at every check-up.
• Do not move the crown when you are in water.
• Rinse off your watch with fresh water after any immersion in seawater.
• Dry your watch whenever it gets wet.
• Have your watch checked for water-resistance by an authorized Hamilton retailer or by any other professional watch service each time the case is opened.

Water-resistance

The water-resistance of your watch is indicated on the case back.

Water resistance and equivalent pressure used in Anglo-Saxon countries:

Unit of measure Water resistance categories available
atm (overpressure) 35	10	20	100
psi	44	72,5	145	290	1450
ft*	100	165	330	660	3300

Water resistance and equivalent pressure used in countries using metric systems:

Unit of measure Water resistance categories available
bar	35 10 20	100
m*	30	50	100	200	1000

• The values given in feet or meters of immersion in water are equivalent to the degree of overpressure applied during the tests according to the ISO 22810 standard.

Leather straps

Hamilton recommends that you follow the steps below in order to preserve the condition of your leather strap for as long as possible:

• Avoid contact with water and dampness to prevent discoloration and deformation.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight to prevent the color from fading.
• Do not forget that leather is permeable! Therefore avoid contact with greasy substances and cosmetic products.
• If you have a problem with your leather strap, please contact your nearest Hamilton retailer.

Magnetic fields

To prevent malfunctions of your watch avoid coming into contact with magnetic fields such as those of magnets, loudspeakers, cell phones, refrigerators, etc.

Operating instructions

Movement

Your watch is fitted with an automatic movement. The mechanism of the watch includes an oscillating rotor that winds the mainspring via the motion of your wrist. The power reserve is up to 60 hours.

If necessary, the movement may be rewound manually by turning the crown clockwise 30 times in position (I). With most of our models, the beauty of the inner working of the watch movement can be admired through the transparent case back.

The Hamilton Khaki Automatic X-Wind has three screw-down crowns and two push buttons.

Important: to keep your watch water-resistant, always screw the crowns A, D, and E back to position (0) after all the settings.

Setting the time

1. Unscrew setting crown A.
2. Pull out the crown completely to position (III).
3. Adjust the time by turning the crown in the desired direction.
4. Push back the crown completely then screw it down again.

Setting the date / day

1. Unscrew setting crown A.
2. Pull out the crown to the intermediate position (II).
3. Turn the crown anticlockwise until the desired date appears, or clockwise for the desired day. Do not perform this operation between 20:00 and 02:00 (8 p.m. and 2 a.m.).
4. Push back the crown completely then screw it down again.

Chronograph functions

Simple or added timing

1. Press button to start the chronograph.
2. Press button 串 again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time or the first partial time is indicated by the hands of the counters 4, 5 and 6.
3. Repeat these two steps for each additional timing. At the end of the last timing, the chronograph will indicate the cumulative time of all the partial timings added together.
4. Push button to reset the counters to zero.

Operating instructions

Crosswind

The Khaki X-Wind integrates a drift - angle calculator, enabling pilots to accurately calculate and record the crosswinds they will encounter on their planned journey.

1. Position the red arrow of the upper interior rotating bezel 9 at 12 o'clock by adjusting with crown D. Adjust the lower interior rotating bezel to 0^ by adjusting with crown E.

1. Obtain wind speed and direction from control tower or weather chart.

Ex. Wind speed: 40 mph

Wind direction: 70^

Indicate wind direction (70) in the window with the upper interior rotating bezel 9 by adjusting with crown D.

1. Adjust the exterior rotating bezel 8 so that one tenth of the speed of the aircraft is indicated opposite the red arrow.

Ex. Aircraft speed: 180 mph - indicate 18.

1. From the geographical bearing, calculate the magnetic bearing of the aircraft:

The variation (Var) depends on the current location, which can be determined from an aviation chart.

Ex. Geographical bearing: 30^

Variation (Var): 10^

Magnetic bearing: 30^ + 10^ = 40^

Tn: True North | Mn: Magnetic North | Var: Variation

If the variation (Var) is to the West, it is added to the geographical bearing to obtain the magnetic bearing.

Ex. 30^ + 10^ = 40^

If the variation (Var) is to the East, it is subtracted from the geographical bearing to obtain the magnetic bearing. Ex. 30^ - 15^ = 15^

1. Calculation of crosswind angle.

Ex. Wind direction: 70^

Magnetic bearing of aircraft: 40^

Crosswind angle: 70^ - 40^ = 30^ (headwind)

70^ - 40^ = 30^ (Headwind)

180^ - (330^ - 220^) = 70^ Tailwind

360^ - (330^ - 40^) = 70^ (Headwind)

Operating instructions

1. Calculation of crosswind:

Using the graph (plastic card) determine the point of intersection of the wind speed (head/tailwind component) and the crosswind angle.

Going from the point of intersection, read the value of the crosswind component on the horizontal axis.

Ex. Headwind component: 40 mph

Crosswind angle: 30^

Crosswind component: 20 mph

1. Calculate the angle of drift:

Locate the crosswind component (20) on the exterior rotating bezel ⑧ and read the value indicated on the interior bezel ⑨

Ex. Angle of drift: approx. 6.5^

1. Calculation of corrected bearing:

If the wind is blowing from the right, add the angle of drift to the magnetic bearing.

If the wind is blowing from the left, subtract the angle of drift from the magnetic bearing.

Ex. Corrected bearing: 40^ + 6.5^ = 46.5^

For memorization, use the crown to indicate the corrected bearing (t) on the lower interior rotating bezel 10.

Vb. 30^ + 10^ = 40^

Vb. Kopwind (Headwind component): 40 mph

Vb. Drifthoek: circa 6.5^
