* It is recommended that you use the watch correctly following the above-mentioned scope of usage

after ascertaining water resistance precautions marked on the dial or caseback.

ENGLISH

CAUTION

1A watch with water resistance for daily life 30m (3 bar) can be used during

face-washing, etc. but cannot be used in an environment in which it will be

submerged in water.

2A watch with reinforced water resistance for daily life I 50m (5 bar) can be

used while swimming, etc. but cannot be used during any type of diving

including skin diving.

3A watch with reinforced water resistance for daily life II 100m or 200m (10

or 20 bar) can be used while skin diving, but cannot be used while scuba

diving using oxygen tanks or saturation diving using helium gas, etc.

4Keep the crown pushed in at all times (in the normal position) while using

the watch. If the crown is the screwed-down type, check that it is securely

screwed down.

5Do not operate the crown underwater, or while the watch is wet. Water

may enter the interior of the watch and defeat the water resistance.

6If your watch is non-water resistant, beware of splashes of water (during

face washing, rain, etc.) and sweat. If the watch becomes wet from water

or sweat, wipe the moisture off with a dry, soft cloth.

7Even with a water resistant watch for everyday use, avoid directing strong

jets of mains water onto the watch. Water pressure above the limit can

apply, which may defeat the water resistance.

8With a water resistant watch for everyday use, rinse sea water off the case

after exposure, then wipe it thoroughly to avoid corrosion and other effects.

9The interior of the watch contains some amount of moisture, which may

cause fogging on the inside of the glass when the outside air is cooler than

the internal temperature of the watch. If the fogging is temporary it causes

no harm inside the watch, but if prolonged, or if water enters the watch,

consult your place of purchase and do not leave the problem untreated.

ENGLISH

(2) Shock

1Be sure not to carry the watch when you engage in strenuous

sports, whereas playing such light sports as golf, etc., will not

adversely influence the watch.

2Avoid a violent shock such as dropping the watch on the

floor.

(3) Magnetism

1If the watch is left at a location with strong magnetism for an extended

period of time, the components may be magnetized, resulting in

malfunction. Be careful.

2The watch may temporarily speed up or slow down when exposed to

magnetism. Precision is restored when placed away from magnetism. In

such a case, reset the time.

(4) Vibration

The watch may lose precision if subjected to strong

vibrations such as from riding motorcycles, using

jackhammers, chain saws, etc.

(5) Temperature

In environments below and above normal temperatures (5°C-35°C), the

watch may malfunction and stop.

Do not use the watch at high temperatures, such as in a sauna. The watch

may heat and cause burns.

(6)Chemicals, Gases, etc.

Utmost caution must be exercised when coming into contact with gases,

mercury, chemicals (paint thinner, gasoline, various solvents, detergents

containing such components, adhesives, paint, drugs, perfumes,

cosmetics, etc.), and so forth. Such may cause discoloration of the

watchcase, watchband, and dial face. Discoloration, deformation, and

damage to various resin-based component parts may also occur.

CAUTION

ENGLISH

(7) About this product and accessory parts

CAUTION

Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the watch.

WARNING

Store the bracelet/strap pin and other small parts out of the reach of children.

If any small parts are swallowed, immediately contact a doctor.

(8) Allergic reactions

CAUTION

If you develop a skin rash or your skin becomes abnormally irritated due to

contact with the watch or strap, stop wearing the watch immediately and

consult a doctor.

(9) About “luminous light”

Some models have luminous light on the hands and dial.

The luminous light is a safe paint that stores sunlight and artificial light

without using any radioactive material, and emits that light in a dark

setting. As the paint discharges the stored light, it will become dimmer

over time. The amount of light emitted and the time that light is emitted

depends on various factors when the light is stored, such as the shape

of the glass, the thickness of the paint, surrounding brightness level, the

distance from the watch to the light source, and the light absorption level.

Please note that when not enough light energy is stored, the watch may

emit weak light or emit light for only a short time.

(10)Water resistant watchband

Some models employ leather and nylon bands on which a special

treatment to resist perspiration and water absorption have been applied.

Please understand that the water resisting effect of this watchband can be

lost depending on the period and conditions of use.

ENGLISH

HOW TO IDENTIFY THE CALIBER NUMBER

Check the caliber number by referring to the model number of your watch or

the case code on the watch’s case back.

1. Searching by 10-digit model number

Check the 10-digit model number on the guarantee supplied with your watch.

You can also see the number on the product tag put on the watch. Its second

and third digits indicate the caliber number of your watch.

Example: If the model number is “

DJ02002B

”, the caliber number is “DJ”.

2. Searching by the case code

See the case code on the case back of your watch.

The first two digits indicate the caliber number.

Case code

Example:

When the case code is “DJ02-C0”, the caliber number is “DJ”.

* The place of case code may vary and its letter size may be small and

difficult to see depending on the characteristics of watches.

* The pictures and illustrations on this manual may differ from the actual

appearance of your watch but the functions and operation procedures are

the same.

ENGLISH

AUTOMATIC WINDING AND HAND WINDING MECHANISM

(1) This is an automatic winding (hand winding) mechanical

watch.

(2) The mainspring is wound by natural movements of your

arm when wearing the watch on your wrist.

It is also wound by rotating the crown.

(3) If your watch stops, winding the mainspring by rotating the

crown or swing the watch back and forth ten or more times

to re-start the second hand. After it starts moving, set the

date and time.

(4) To wind the mainspring, ensure that the crown is in its normal position and

slowly turn it to the right (clockwise).

Turning the crown to the left (counterclockwise) will have no effect.

When the watch is in a stopped state, the mainspring can be wound

sufficiently by rotating the crown approximately 20 times. In order to the

crown will still rotate even when the mainspring is fully wound. (This is not

a fault). Avoid winding the watch more than necessary.

Since the crown will rotate even when winding is complete, wind the watch

using the scale on the power reserve indicator as a guide.

(5) This watch will run approximately 40 hours after it is fully wound. If it is

not wound enough, the watch may lose accuracy. In order to maintain the

watch’s accuracy, we recommend wearing the watch at least 8 hours a

day.

MODELS WITH SCREWED-DOWN CROWN

Depending on the model, you may not be able to pull the crown out without

unscrewing it (models with screwed-down crown).

Operate this type of watch as follows:

(1) Before setting the date and time (dual time), first turn the crown to the left

to loosen the screw lock.

(2) After setting the date and time (dual time), turn the crown to the right while

pressing in, until it stops turning to securely tighten the screw.
