Chronograph Watch
Mecha-Quartz Chronograph
This watch is powered by a Japanese made
“Mecha-Quartz” movement. It combines a battery
regulated engine with a mechanical chronograph
module. The result is a watch which delivers the
meticulous pinpoint precision of a quartz movement
along with the crisp, flyback handfeel and visual
charm of mechanical watches.
For more details on operating this Chronograph
please refer to the enclosed booklet or visit

WATER RESISTANCE
Note that the water resistance chart serves only as a
guide (please refer to the water resistance chart on the
next page). Actual water resistance may vary depending
on a number of factors including water temperature,
water salinity, and use under water.
The water resistance of your timepiece may eventually
be compromised over time with general wear and tear
and use of your timepiece under adverse conditions.
Always remember to employ the screw down crown if
available to maintain the water resistance of your
timepiece. Warranty may be voided if the screw down
crown has not been properly employed.
Note that you should never wear your watch in a jacuzzi
or steam room where steam may enter the case despite
the water tight seals used to protect your watch. This
may cause condensation inside your watch which may
eect and damage the inner workings of your watch.
