Requests and Cautions Regarding this Watch

(Mechanical Watch with Auto-Winding Function)

* Although the mainspring will be wound automatically when the watch is

worn on the wrist, the mainspring will wind down aer about 2 days and

the watch will stop if it is removed from the wrist.

* Make sure to adequately wind the mainspring before setting the time (hour

and minute hands).

* If the time is set without the mainspring being adequately wound, the

second will oscillate back and forth 2-3 seconds.

ere are two ways to wind the mainspring: winding by turning the

crown to the right by hand, and winding by shaking the watch gently. e

second hand may rarely oscillate back and forth if the mainspring has

been wound by shaking the watch to the side with excessive force

However, this has no eect on the functions or performance of the watch.

Even if the crown is turned further aer the mainspring is fully wound,

there will be no damage caused to the mainspring.

Do not attempt to adjust the metal band by yourself. Doing so may result

in damage to the watch through dropping it, or injury to yourself from the

repair tools. Please contact your dealer or Customer Support Center for

adjustment of the metal band; otherwise, adjustment may not be possible or

may not be free of charge.

1. Features

Self-Winding Movement

• A self-winding movement is employed in which the watch mainspring is

wound automatically by movement of the hand when worn, and the force

of the mainspring is then used to drive the movement (watch).

Automatic winding

When worn on the wrist, the normal movement of the arm will wind the spring. Please

make sure to wear it for at least 8 hours daily. In case most of your work is at a desk and

there is little arm movement, it may result in insucient winding. In such cases, please

wind manually.

Manual winding

Rotate the crown clockwise in position 0 to wind the spring.

If the watch has stopped, rotating the crown around 40 times will result in sucient

winding of the spring.

When fully wound, further rotating the crown will not damage the spring.

3. Before Using

is watch is a mechanical watch (self-winding). Before using, disengage the screw

down locking crown and turn it to the right by hand to wind the watch mainspring.

When the mainspring is in the fully wound state (suciently wound), the watch will

continue to run for about 40 hours. In order to ensure that the watch continuously

provides a stable time display, always wear the watch on your wrist to keep the

mainspring adequately wound. If the watch is only worn for short periods of time,

wind the mainspring manually by turning the crown by hand.

Note:

A screw down locking crown is employed to

enhance the water resistance of the watch.

When operating the crown, rst turn it to the

le to disengage the screw lock. Once you have

nished operating the crown, always make sure

to return the crown to the normal position and

then turn it to the right while pushing it in so

that the screw lock is securely engaged.

[General Reference for Winding Mainspring when Completely Unwound]

• Aer rst loosening the screw down locking crown, turn it to the right

about 40 revolutions to fully wind the mainspring.

Keep the mainspring adequately wound either by turning the crown by hand or

by wearing the watch on your wrist for at least three hours each day.

If the watch is only worn for short periods of time, turn the crown by

hand to keep the mainspring fully wound. Since this watch employs a

slip mechanism that automatically disengages the mainspring when fully

wound, it cannot be over-wound.

must be changed by operating the crown on the rst day of the following

month in those months with less than 31 days (months having 30 days and

5. Using the Rotating Bezel

e rotating bezel can be used as a reference for elapsed time during diving or

for the amount of time remaining relative to a predetermined amount of time.

[Setting the Rotating Bezel]

•Only turn the rotating bezel to the le. It cannot be rotated in the

opposite direction (to the right) to prevent the risk of incorrect operation.

•

Upgraded water-resistance for daily use (to 5 atmospheres) means that the watch may be worn while swimming, but

is not to worn while skin diving.

•

Upgraded water-resistance for daily use (to 10/20 atmospheres) means that the watch may be worn while skin diving,

but not while scuba or saturated diving using helium gas.

Refer to the watch dial and the case back for the indication of the water resistance of your watch.

The following chart provides examples of use for reference to ensure that your watch is used properly.

(The unit "1bar" is roughly equal to 1 atmosphere.)

•

WATER RESIST(ANT) ××bar may also be indicated as W.R.××bar.

CAUTION To avoid injury

• Be particularly careful when wearing your watch while holding a small child, to

avoid injury.

• Be particularly careful when engaged in strenuous exercise or work, to avoid injury

to yourself and others.

• Do NOT wear your watch while in a sauna or other location where your watch may

become excessively hot, since there is the risk of burns.

• Be careful when putting on and taking o your watch, since there is a risk of

damaging your ngernails, depending on the manner in which the band is fastened.

CAUTION Precautions

• Always use the watch with the crown pushed in (normal position). If the crown is

of the screw lock-type, make sure it is securely locked.

• Do NOT operate the crown when the watch is wet. Water may penetrate into the

watch, causing deterioration of water resistance.

• If water enters the watch or the watch fogs up and does not clear up even aer a

long time, consult your dealer or Customer Support Center for inspection and/or

repair.

• If a watch of upgraded water resistance for daily use is immersed in sea water or

subjected to excessive perspiration, thoroughly rinse with fresh water and wipe

completely dry with a so cloth.

• If seawater enters the watch, place the watch in a box or plastic bag and immediately

take it in for repair. Otherwise, pressure inside the watch will increase, and parts

(crystal, crown, buttons, etc.) may come o.
