Hamilton is delighted that you have chosen a timepiece from its collection. You have acquired a small technolog- ical 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.

• 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 profes- sional 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) 3 5 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 3 5 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.INSTRUCTION MANUAL 3 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 elds To prevent malfunctions of your watch avoid coming into contact with magnetic elds such as those of mag- nets, loudspeakers, cell phones, refrigerators, etc. Operating instructions Movement Your watch is tted 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 work- ing 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

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 (8p.m. and 2 a.m.).

4. Push back the crown completely then screw it down

again. Chronograph functions Simple or added timing

again to stop the chronograph. The elapsed time or the rst 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 C to reset the counters to zero.4 © HAMILTON 19/07/2013

Operating instructions Crosswind The Khaki X-Wind integrates a drift – angle calcula- tor, enabling pilots to accurately calculate and record the crosswinds they will encounter on their planned journey. . 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 0 to 0° by adjusting with crown E. . 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. . Adjust the exterior rotating bezel

so that one tenth of the speed of the aircraft is indi- cated opposite the red arrow. Ex. Aircraft speed: 180 mph – indicate 18. . From the geographical bearing, calculate the mag- netic 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 bear- ing to obtain the magnetic bearing. Ex. 30° – 15° = 15° . 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)INSTRUCTION MANUAL 5

6. Calculation of crosswind:

Using the graph (plastic card) determine the point of intersection of the wind speed (head/tailwind compo- nent) 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

7. 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°

8. Calculation of corrected bearing:

40° = 10° + 30° : (Var)
