Band adjustment
We recommend seeking the assistance of an experienced watch technician
for sizing of your watch. If adjustment is not done correctly, the bracelet may
unexpectedly become detached leading to loss of your watch or injury (excluding
products containing the band adjustment tool).
Consult an authorized service center.
Protective stickers
Be sure to remove any protective stickers that may be on your watch (case back,
band, clasp, etc.). Otherwise, perspiration or moisture may enter the gaps between
the protective stickers and the parts, which may result in a skin rash and/or
corrosion of the metal parts.

This is an automatic mechanical watch powered by a spring.
When wearing the watch, your arm’s movement rotates the oscillating weight to
wind the mainspring automatically.
• When your arm’s movement is small and/or a few, winding will become
insufficient. We recommend to wear the watch as long as possible or wind the
mainspring manually in such cases.
• Duration of movement after the mainspring is wound fully may differ depending
on models. For details, see the next page or "Specifications" (→ page
34
).
