Congratulations
Hamilton is happy that you have chosen a timepiece from our prestigious collection. Your
Khaki Field Multi-Touch watch incorporates state-of-the-art technology. It offers permanent
analog display of the time as well as varied digital display. In addition, the following
functions are available by simply touching the glass: barometer, altimeter, chronograph,
compass, alarm and thermometer.

• Incorrect operation of the pushers = different alarm from the normal beep
• No operation for 30 seconds = automatic deactivation of the glass
• No operation for 3 seconds in setting mode = exit setting mode

Important notes
For the best reading of the temperature, remove the watch from your wrist and
wait for approximately 15 to 30 minutes. For more information see the
explanation of the thermometer on page 22.

Touching action
(without pressing)

For correct use of the altimeter, adjust it as often as possible. For more
information see the explanation of the altimeter on page 20.

Listening / Vision

The barometer function indicates a trend. Hands superposed to the left of
midday = bad weather, at midday = stable weather, to the right of midday = good
weather. For more information, see the explanation of the barometer function
on page 9.
Your watch is waterproof to 30 m. However, no function can be operated if the
glass is in contact with a liquid.

General information on use
• Activate the glass by pressing
• When the glass is activated, a flashing
bar will appear on the digital display
• Select a function by touching the corresponding area on the glass
• Brief presses on the pushers = step by step movement of the hands or incrementation
(decrementation) on the digital display
• Long presses on the pushers = continuous movement or incrementation (decrementation)

Care and maintenance
We recommend that you clean your watch regularly using a soft cloth and lukewarm water.
After bathing in salt water, rinse your watch with fresh water and leave it to dry completely.
Avoid exposing your watch to excessive variations in temperature or humidity, to strong
sunlight or stong magnetic fields.

Barometers and meteorological maps indicate

(A) : Anticyclone

When atmospheric pressure increases, the sky clears. The
hands move to the right.
This is called a "high pressure" zone or "anticyclone" (A).

Miscellaneous information

When atmospheric pressure decreases, the sky clouds over.
The hands move to the left.
The is called a "low pressure" zone or "depression" (D).

The program on your watch takes into consideration variations in atmospheric pressure
over the previous 8 hours to calculate the trend to be displayed, ensuring greater reliability
and precision than a "mechanical" barometer which only displays an instantaneous trend.

The change in pressure is measured and displayed using
the hands which can assume the following 7 positions
depending on the meteorological trend:
-6' : Major drop in pressure, rapid deterioration
-4' : Moderate drop in pressure, probable deterioration
-2' : Minor drop in pressure, probable slight deterioration
12h : No notable meteorological change
+2' : Minor increase in pressure, probable slight improvement
+4' : Moderate increase in pressure, probable improvement
+6' : Major increase in pressure, rapid improvement

Furthermore, the variation in pressure caused by a rapid change in altitude is detected by
the program and compensated for automatically. It therefore has no influence on the
barometric trend.

COMPASS

Miscellaneous information

Compass, indication of geographical North

If you set the magnetic deviation to 0, your Khaki Field
Multi-touch will display the magnetic North (Nm).

Description of the function
In COMPASS mode, your watchindicates the
geographical north pole, taking the magnetic
deviation into consideration.

N

18

The COMPASS function, as any other compass, must not
be used near a metal or magnetic object.

19

S

Thanks to its rotating glass, the watch can be oriented in
the same direction as a map. This glass is graded with the
following values:
- 30˚ between a cardinal point (N,E,W,S) and the closest
points.

Explanations
The vertical lines (meridians) on a globe converge toward
the geographical north pole (Ng) and indicate its direction.
The pointer on a conventional compass indicates the
direction of the magnetic north pole (Nm).
The angle (α) between these two directions is called the
magnetic deviation. The value of the magnetic deviation
therefore depends on your position on the globe.
Furthermore, the magnetic north pole is constantly
changing. The value of the magnetic deviation therefore
also depends on the date.

Ng

It is very important that you hold the watch as horizontal as
possible to obtain a true indication of North.

Nm

When the correct value (depending on place and date) of
the magnetic deviation is set (see the adjustment procedure
on page 12), the minute hand on your watch displays the
direction of the geographical North (Ng).
The values and dates of the magnetic deviation are
displayed on topographical maps or can be calculated
using special software.

ALTIMETER

Note: "Calibrating" an altimeter means setting it
to the actual altitude of a known point (see the
setting procedure on page 14).
The values of actual altitudes can be found from
various sources: signs, contour lines and
benchmarks on maps.

Indication of altitude in relation to sea level

Description of the function
In ALTIMETER mode, your watch is transformed into a
barometric altimeter and displays the altitude in
relation to the average sea level.

20

540 m

Miscellaneous information

Explanations
As this instrument is barometric, it calculates the altitude
according to atmospheric pressure.
As altitude increases, pressure decreases and vice versa.
Therefore, the altimeter measures the difference in
pressure and displays the altitude. It is therefore an ideal
instrument for measuring ascents. (e. g. when hiking in the
mountains).

1500m

Your altimeter will not show the variations in altitude in an aircraft
as the cabin is pressurised (constant pressure).

1000m
500m
0m

540 m

Your watch compensates for temperature.
The altitude displayed is therefore corrected automatically.
The altimeter makes a measurement every 10 seconds.

2000m

P = pressure

Unit conversion: 1 metre [m] = 3.281 feet [ft]
1 foot [ft] = 0.305 metres [m]
Average pressure, at sea level: 1013.25 hPa

Warning!
As pressure is used to calculate the altitude, the altimeter is sensitive to variations in
atmospheric pressure as the weather changes. It is not uncommon to see differences in
altitude of 100 m in one night.
The value displayed may vary without your altitude actually changing.
Change in weather = variation in pressure = modification of altitude displayed

Thus it is necessary to "calibrate" the altimeter as often as possible.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

THERMOMETER
Temperature display

Trouble

Description of the function
In this mode, your watch is transformed into a
THERMOMETER and displays the ambient
temperature.

22

Explanations
The temperature displayed is the temperature of the
watch case. Its temperature is therefore influenced by
your body temperature. Thus, the temperature
displayed may be different from the ambient
temperature.
To display the actual ambient temperature, the watch
must be taken off for about 15 to 30 minutes so that it
is no longer affected by your body temperature.

Miscellaneous information
The temperature may be displayed in degrees Celsius [˚C] or degrees Fahrenheit [˚F].
(see page 8 for the procedure for changing these units).
Conversion formulae:

T˚C = (T˚F - 32) x 5

T˚F = T˚C x 9 + 32

The hands are no longer synchronised
Synchronise the hands, see page 4
The compass does not show geographical north
Magnetic deviation is incorrectly adjusted
Adjust magnetic deviation, see page 12
The compass is faulty
