Crazy Question For Watchcruncher’s: Which of all Hamilton H-series movements have the synthetic hairspring??
I have tried to find this online with only one of the movements; H-21-SI being the only one listed. It was brought to my attention that at time of service these synthetic hairsprings are replaced that is for standard servicing, non regulated as well.
thanks to all of you in this wonderful community😊

The new Hamilton getting released recently have the Nivachron mentioned in their features. Those are the update H-series calibers with Nivachron hairsprings. The models introduced prior to 2019 won't have any sort of synthetic hairspring that you find in the recent Powermatic movement family.

Good stuff! Thank you!!
I don't think my Khaki King has it, I don't know what models do
Swatch Group, in collaboration with Audemars Piguet, has developed a new non-magnetic compensating alloy called Nivachron™ for this revolutionary balance spring. With its complex composition, the alloy was developed with the aim of optimizing the resistance of watch movements to magnetic
The Question is; How often is the Nivachron Hairspring replaced? It’s no longer synthetic, instead alloy. https://youtu.be/Mk6K_oDNMH8?si=34x50841IzL87yqI

When the time come, the movement gets swapped out if you send it to Swatch for service so you don't need to worry about how often you need to replace the hairspring. And the recommended service interval for ETA C07 family movements is around 4-5 years.
