* 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 accessory parts

CAUTION

Do not attempt to disassemble or modify this product.

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 watch 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 products 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

(11)Precautions when diving

WARNING

Watches with “DIVER’S 200m” or “DIVER’S WATCH 200m” marked on

its dial or case back are designed to be able to be used when scuba

diving (air diving, water depth of up to 200m).

• This watch is not designed for saturation diving. Do not use this watch

when saturation diving.

• Do not use this watch in water depths of 200m or deeper.

CAUTION

[Precautions before diving]

Make sure to do the following before you dive.

• Check that the watch is fully wound.

• Make sure the watch shows the correct time.

• Make sure the rotating bezel is set correctly. Also, make sure that the

watchband is not too loose or too tight.

• Check that the screwed-down type crown is securely tightened.

• Make sure that there are no cracks or chips in the glass.

• Make sure that the watchband is not about to tear, and check that

there are no problems with its joints (spring bar, buckle, clasp, etc.).

If there are any problems, do not use the watch when diving.

CAUTION

[Precautions during diving]

• Do not operate the crown while in the water.

• The rotating bezel may be hard to operate under water due to water

pressure.

• Do not subject the watch to shocks, such as banging on rocks.

ENGLISH

CAUTION

[Precautions after diving]

• To remove salt water from the case or bracelet/strap, first make sure

the crown is securely tightened. Then, rinse it with fresh water to

prevent rusting.

• Do not use chemical agents to rinse the watch or soak the watch.

(12)Changing the interchangeable watchband

Depending on the model, some watches come with interchangeable

watchbands.

Please contact your dealer or our service center if you want to change

the watchband.

◆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 13-digit model number

Check the 13-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 fourth

and fifth digits indicate the caliber number of your watch.

Example: If the model number is “RE-AT0001L00B”, the caliber number is “AT”.

2. Searching by the case code

See the case code on the case back of your watch like XXXX-XXXX.

The first three digits indicate the caliber number.

Example : When the case code is “F6R4-UAA0”, the caliber number is “F6R”.

* 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 function and operation procedures are

the same.

AUTOMATIC AND HAND WINDING MECHANISM

(1) This is an automatic winding mechanical watch (with a

hand winding mechanism).

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

arm when wearing the watch on your wrist.

In addition, you can also wind the mainspring by turning

the crown.

(3) If your watch stops, either swing the watch back and forth

ten or more times or turn the crown to wind the mainspring in order to

restart the second hand.

After it starts moving, set the calendar and time.

(4) When winding the mainspring, slowly turn the crown to the right

(clockwise) while in its normal position.

Turning the crown to the left (counterclockwise) merely turns the crown

uselessly and does not wind the mainspring.

You can wind the mainspring fully by turning the crown to the right about

30 times from a stopped position.

The crown can still be turned after the mainspring is fully wound. Either

use the above count or use the markings on the power reserve indicator

when winding the watch.

(5) Even if the mainspring is fully wound, it will not be over-wound due to the

slip mechanism.

(6)

This watch will run approximately 50 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, first turn the crown counterclockwise to

loosen the screw lock.

(2) After setting the date and time, turn the crown clockwise while pressing

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