Characteristics of Mechanical watches
About time accuracy of mechanical watches
The time accuracy described on this instruction manual is the static accuracy
at normal temperature. The accuracy of mechanical watches may get out of the
described range depending on the following three usage conditions or other
reasons.
• Winding amount of the mainspring
• Attitude
• Usage environment (temperature, magnetism, impact, etc.)
Winding amount of the mainspring
Mechanical watches keep accuracy most stably when the mainspring is sufficiently
wound.
Attitude
Accuracy of mechanical watches varies affected by gravity. The accuracy varies
as the result that may take various attitude while worn and gravitate to a different
direction every moment.

6
Characteristics of Mechanical watches
Usage environment (temperature, magnetism, impact, etc.)
• Metal parts are used for the part for keeping accuracy in mechanical watch. The
accuracy varies affected by their thermal expansion and contraction.
• Metal parts are used in mechanical watches. Magnetism affects them and
accuracy of the watches in consequence. Do not bring them close to things which
have or generate strong magnetism.
• Strong shocks may also affect the accuracy.
Maintenance
Mechanical watches may become inaccurate due to insufficient lubrication or worn
parts. Have the watch disassembled and cleaned (overhaul) every 2-3 years (charge
basis). It may be difficult to restore the watch from degradation after long-term use
to its initial performance even after repairs.

7
Characteristics of Mechanical watches
Requests and cautions regarding this watch
• 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
hand will oscillate back and forth 2-3 seconds.
There are two ways to wind the mainspring: winding by turning the crown to
the right by hand, and for the automatic winding watch, winding by shaking
the watch gently. The 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 effect on the functions or performance of the watch.

8
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.
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.

Mainspring
This watch runs using the power of the mainspring.
• Once the mainspring is wound fully, it will run for about 40 hours.
• Sufficient winding ensures stable and accurate movement.
Winding the mainspring manually
Turn the crown to the right (clockwise) in position .

Mainspring
• When the watch stops, turning the crown about 40 times will wind the
mainspring fully.
• When the mainspring is wound fully, turning the crown further does not damage
the mainspring.
Winding the mainspring automatically
• When wearing the watch, your hand’s movement rotates the oscillating weight to
wind the mainspring automatically.
The mainspring is wound for about a day movement automatically when wearing
the watch for 8 hours or more a day.
• You can wind the mainspring manually.

Setting the time and calendar
• Avoid correction of the date and day when the watch hands are between the hours
of 9:00 PM and 4:30 AM. Correcting the date and day during this time period
may prevent the date from changing on the following day. Set the date and day
after the hands have moved outside this time period.
• The date displayed by this watch is based on a 31-day month.Re-set the correct
date at the start of March, May, July, October and December.

WARNING
Water Resistance
• Refer to the watch dial and/or 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.
• Non-water resistant models are not designed to come into contact with any moisture. Take care
not to expose a watch with this rating to any type of moisture.
• Water resistance for daily use (to 3 atmospheres) means the watch is water resistant for
occasional accidental splashing.

Precautionary items and usage limitations
CAUTION
When Wearing Your Watch
<Band>
•
Leather bands and rubber (urethane) bands will deteriorate over time due to perspiration dirt.
Because of the natural materials, leather band will be worn, deformed, and discolored over
time. It is recommended to replace the band periodically.
•
The durability of a leather band may be affected when wet (fading, peeling of adhesive), owing
to the properties of the material. Moreover, wet leather may cause a rash.
• Do not stain a leather band with substances containing volatile materials, bleach, alcohol
(including cosmetics). Discoloration and premature aging may be occurred. Ultraviolet light
such as direct sunlight may cause discoloration or deformation.
• It is recommended to take off the watch if it gets wet, even if the watch itself is water-resistant.
• Do not wear the band too tightly. Try to leave enough space between the band and your skin
to allow adequate ventilation.
• The rubber (urethane) band may be stained by dyes or soil present in or on clothing or other
accessories. Since these stains may not be removable, caution is required when wearing
your watch with items that tend to easily transfer color (articles of clothing, purses, etc.). In
addition, the band may be deteriorated by solvents or moisture in the air. Replace with a new
one when it has lost elasticity or become cracked.
