rechargeable battery is
reduced to an extremely
low level, charge it
sufficiently by exposing
the watch to light.

<Reference>
Condition A: Time required for full charge
Condition B :
Time required for steady operation
Condition C: Time required for 1 day’s charge
kThe values in this column represent the
charging times required until the second
hand moves constantly at 1-second
intervals after the watch starts operating
with the second hand moving at 2-second
intervals.
• Even if the watch is not charged for the
time specified in the column, the second
hand may temporarily move at 1-second
intervals. But it will soon resume moving
at 2-second intervals, and therefore,
charge the watch for more than the
specified period.
• When the watch is fully charged, it will
continue to operate for about 4 months.
• When charging the watch, do not
place it too close to a hot light source
such as a photo flash light, spotlight or
incandescent light as this can greatly
raise the watch temperature.
• When charging the watch by sunlight,
do not leave it exposed to the sun for a
long time, on the dashboard of a car,
etc. as this can greatly raise the watch
temperature.
• Make sure the watch temperature does
not exceed 50°C while charging, to
avoid damage to the parts inside.

BAR or 50 M/5 BAR water resistant, it is
so indicated on the dial/case back.
• Do not press or turn the crown when the

rinse it in fresh water and then wipe it
thoroughly dry.
Caution:
Leather straps are not water resistant
except so indicated, even if the watch
head is water resistant.
• ALLERGIC REACTION

skin directly, it is important to clean them
regularly. If not, shirt sleeves may be
stained and those with delicate skin may
develop a rash. Please wear the watch
with some play to avoid any possible
allergic reaction. If you develop a rash
on your wrist, stop wearing and consult a
physician.
• MAGNETISM
Your watch will be adversely affected by
strong magnetism. Keep it away from close
contact with magnetic objects.
• SHOCKS AND VIBRATIONS
Your watch may be worn for normal sports
activities, However, be careful not to drop
it or hit it on hard surfaces.
• TEMPERATURE

ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION
●When the energy stored in the rechargeable
battery is reduced to an extremely low level,
the second hand starts moving at 2-second
intervals instead of the normal 1-second
intervals.
●In that case, recharge the watch as soon as
possible by exposing it to light. Otherwise,
the watch may stop operating in about
1 day.
u To prevent the energy depletion
• When you wear the watch, try not to
keep it covered by your clothes.
• When the watch is not in use, leave it
in a bright place as long as possible.
* Make sure that the watch temperature
does not exceed 50°C.
n
NOTES ON POWER SUPPLY
●Never insert a conventional silver oxide
battery in your watch as it may explode,
generate an intense heat or catch fire.
The watch is designed not to operate
even if the battery is installed in it.
●This watch is provided with a rechargeable
battery for exclusive use with the watch.
Unlike conventional battery-powered
watches, therefore, battery replacement
is not necessary.

having no adverse effect on the natural
environment.
