Features
Water resistant construction capable of withstanding a depth of 1,000 m (water pressure
equivalent to 100 atm)
• This watch features enhanced water resistance that enables it to withstand saturation
diving using helium gas.
Equipped with a helium escape valve for discharging helium gas
• In saturation diving, when decompressing to surface pressure in a diver decompression
chamber, the helium escape valve in the watch automatically discharges the helium gas
that has seeped into the watch to improve safety.
Rotating bezel with reverse rotation prevention mechanism to prevent incorrect operation
• The rotating bezel, which is important for checking diving time, employs a reverse
rotation prevention mechanism that prevents the rotating bezel from being rotated
inadvertently.
Request to customers
All parts of this watch, except for the band, are to be repaired only at CITIZEN.
This is because special technologies and equipment are required to perform repairs,
inspections and adjustments. Please make requests for repairs to an authorized service
center when having your watch repaired.

Before using this watch
After unpacking, the following must be done before using the watch:
Check the power reserve indication. (page 14)
Charge immediately if the power reserve level is “0” or “1”.
This watch has a rechargeable cell which is charged by
exposing the dial to light.
Expose the dial to direct sunlight regularly to charge the
watch.
For details of charging, see pages 11 to 15.

7
Band adjustment
Do not adjust the length of the band (metal or rubber) yourself. If you fail to
perform the work properly, the watch may fall off, or an injury may occur during
adjustment.
For band adjustment, consult the shop where you purchased the watch or an
authorized service center. Other shops may not be able to handle the watch, or may
charge a fee.
Protective stickers
Be sure to remove any stickers covering the metal parts (back cover, band, clasp)
or glass of the watch before use. 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.

How to use a specially designed crown
This watch is equipped with a specially designed crown to prevent accidental operation.
Screw down crown
Unlock the crown prior to operate your watch.
Unlock Lock
Screw
down
crown
Rotate the crown
counterclockwise until it
releases from the case.
Push the crown in and
rotate it clockwise until the
orange warning color is no
longer visible.
• Depending on the model, the warning color may differ or there may be no warning
color.
Note
• A screw down locking crown is employed to enhance the water resistance of the
watch. When operating the crown, first rotate it counterclockwise to disengage the
screw lock. Once you have finished operating the crown, always make sure to return
the crown to the normal position and then rotate it clockwise while pushing it in so
that the screw lock is securely engaged.

Helium escape valve
For professional saturation diving that uses helium, when decompressing to surface
pressure in a diver decompression chamber the helium escape valve built into the
watch automatically discharges the helium gas that has seeped into the watch. This
prevents the watch from breaking. Valve cross section

Charging your watch
This watch has a rechargeable cell which is charged by
exposing the dial to light, such as direct sunlight or
fluorescent lamps. After taking off the watch, put it in a
location where the dial is exposed to bright light, such as
by a window.
For optimal performance, be sure to:
•Expose it to direct sunlight for 5 or 6 hours at least once
a month.
•Avoid leaving it in dark places for long periods of time.
Caution
• Do not charge the watch at high temperature (about 60°C (140°F) or higher).
• If the watch is obscured from light by long sleeves frequently, supplemental charging
may be needed to ensure continual operation.

12
Charging your watch
When the watch reaches a low charge state (insufficient charge warning
function)
When the power reserve becomes low, the second hand
moves once every two seconds. This is the insufficient
charge warning function. Be sure to fully charge your watch.
• When the watch is sufficiently charged, the second hand will
move normally.
• If you do not charge the watch for four days or longer after the
insufficient charge warning movement has begun, the watch
will be depleted of all power and stop.
Caution
• Even when the second hand moves once every two seconds, the current time and
date are indicated.
Run time
From fully charged without extra charging: 1.5 years (at normal use)
