　　Hamilton watch maintenance tips

　　(1) When wearing a watch, perspiration on your hand can corrode the case. All-steel cases have better corrosion resistance due to their nickel-chromium alloy composition, whereas base-metal cases are copper and corrode easily when exposed to sweat for long periods. You should regularly wipe off sweat with a soft cloth or use a plastic watch protector pad to prevent sweat corrosion.

　　(2) Do not open the case back casually, to prevent dust from entering the movement and affecting the normal operation of the watch.

　　(3) Do not place the watch in a wardrobe containing mothballs, to prevent the watch oil from deteriorating.

　　(4) Do not place the watch on radios or televisions, to avoid magnetisation.

　　(5) For watches stored long-term without being worn, wind them regularly once a month to prevent the components from remaining stationary for extended periods, thereby ensuring the movement's running performance.
