FAQs
What is the power reserve of this watch?
The Hamilton Jazzmaster Performer features an H-31 automatic movement with a 60-hour power reserve. This means the watch will continue to run for approximately 60 hours after being fully wound, even if not worn.
How do I wind the watch?
To manually wind the watch, turn the crown clockwise approximately 30-40 times while it is in the closed position (pushed all the way in). It is best to do this regularly if you do not wear the watch daily.
Is the watch waterproof?
The watch has a degree of water resistance suitable for everyday wear, such as protection against splashes and rain. However, it is not designed for swimming, diving, or prolonged immersion in water. Always ensure the crown is secured before exposure to moisture.
How often does the watch need servicing?
Mechanical watches typically require servicing every 3 to 5 years to maintain optimal performance and accuracy. This involves cleaning, lubricating, and adjusting the movement.
Can I change the leather strap?
Yes, the leather strap can typically be replaced with another strap of the same lug width. It is recommended to use quality tools and, if unsure, have a professional watchmaker perform the strap change.
What does 'PVD coated' mean?
PVD stands for Physical Vapour Deposition. It's a process used to apply a thin, durable coating (in this case, rose gold) to the stainless steel case, enhancing its appearance and scratch resistance.
Troubleshooting
Watch has stopped running
Manually wind the crown by turning it clockwise 30-40 times. If the watch is worn daily, ensure it is receiving enough movement to keep the automatic rotor engaged.
Chronograph not resetting to zero
Ensure the chronograph is not running when attempting to reset. Consult the user manual for specific reset procedures. If the issue persists, it may require professional servicing.
Inaccurate timekeeping
Ensure the watch is fully wound. Mechanical watches can have slight variations in accuracy. If the deviation is significant (e.g., more than +/- 15-20 seconds per day), the watch may need regulation by a watchmaker.
Date is not changing correctly
Ensure you are not setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the date-changing mechanism. Always set the date when the watch indicates it is before 12 PM or after 12 AM. Consult the manual for correct date setting procedure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup: Upon first receiving the watch, or after it has stopped, you will need to wind the crown by turning it clockwise approximately 30-40 times while it is in its closed position. This will provide an initial power reserve. If the watch has stopped, you may also need to set the time and date. Pull the crown out to the first or second position (depending on the model and function) to adjust the time and date. Consult the specific user manual for detailed instructions on setting the chronograph functions.
Compatibility: This is a mechanical watch and does not rely on electronic compatibility with other devices. The strap is designed with a standard lug width, allowing for potential strap replacements with compatible aftermarket options if desired.
Care:
- Winding: For optimal performance, wear the watch regularly or manually wind it daily if not worn. The 60-hour power reserve indicates how long it will run once fully wound and unwound.
- Cleaning: Clean the case and crystal with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. The leather strap should be wiped with a dry or slightly damp cloth and allowed to air dry. Avoid exposing leather to excessive moisture or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
- Water Resistance: While the watch has a degree of water resistance, avoid exposing it to high-pressure water, such as during swimming, showering, or diving, unless its specific water resistance rating explicitly permits it. Ensure the crown is always pushed in or screwed down before exposure to moisture.
- Servicing: Mechanical watches benefit from periodic servicing (typically every 3-5 years) by a qualified watchmaker to ensure continued accuracy and longevity.
