WARNING
!
1A watch with water resistance for daily life 30m (3 bar) can be used
during face-washing, etc. but cannot be used in an environment in which
it will be submerged in water.
2A watch with reinforced water resistance for daily life I 50m (5 bar) can be
used while swimming, etc. but cannot be used during any type of diving
including skin diving.
3A watch with reinforced water resistance for daily life II 100m or 200m (10
or 20 bar) can be used while skin diving, but cannot be used while scuba
diving using oxygen tanks or saturation diving using helium gas, etc.
CAUTION
!
4Keep the crown pushed in at all times (in the normal position) while using
the watch. If the crown is the screwed-down type, check that it is securely
screwed down.
5Do not operate the crown underwater, or while the watch is wet. Water
may enter the interior of the watch and defeat the water resistance.
6If your watch is non-water resistant, beware of splashes of water (during
face washing, rain, etc.) and sweat. If the watch becomes wet from water
or sweat, wipe the moisture off with a dry, soft cloth.
7Even with a water resistant watch for everyday use, avoid directing
strong jets of mains water onto the watch. Water pressure above the limit
can apply, which may defeat the water resistance.
8With a water resistant watch for everyday use, rinse sea water off the case
after exposure, then wipe it thoroughly to avoid corrosion and other effects.
9The interior of the watch contains some amount of moisture, which may
cause fogging on the inside of the glass when the outside air is cooler
than the internal temperature of the watch. If the fogging is temporary
it causes no harm inside the watch, but if prolonged, or if water enters
the watch, consult your place of purchase and do not leave the problem
untreated.

ENGLISH
(2) Shock
1Be sure not to carry the watch when you engage in
strenuous sports, whereas playing such light sports as golf,
etc., will not adversely influence the watch.
2Avoid a violent shock such as dropping the watch on the
floor.
(3) Magnetism
1If the watch is left at a location with strong magnetism for an extended
period of time, the components may be magnetized, resulting in
malfunction. Be careful.
2The watch may temporarily speed up or slow down when exposed to
magnetism. Precision is restored when placed away from magnetism. In
such a case, reset the time.
(4) Vibration
The watch may lose precision if subjected to strong
vibrations such as from riding motorcycles, using
jackhammers, chain saws, etc.
(5) Temperature
In environments below and above normal temperatures (5°C-35°C), the
watch may malfunction and stop.
Do not use the watch at high temperatures, such as in a sauna. The
watch may heat and cause burns.
(6)Chemicals, Gases, etc.
Utmost caution must be exercised when coming into contact with gases,
mercury, chemicals (paint thinner, gasoline, various solvents, detergents
containing such components, adhesives, paint, drugs, perfumes,
cosmetics, etc.), and so forth. Such may cause discoloration of the
watchcase, watchband, and dial face. Discoloration, deformation, and
damage to various resin-based component parts may also occur.

(7) About accessory parts
CAUTION
!
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify this product.
WARNING
!
Store the bracelet/strap pin and other small parts out of the reach of
children.
If any small parts are swallowed, immediately contact a doctor.
(8) Allergic reactions
CAUTION
!
If you develop a skin rash or your skin becomes abnormally irritated due
to contact with the watch or strap, stop wearing the watch immediately
and consult a doctor.
(9) About “luminous light”
Some watch have luminous light on the hands and dial.
The luminous light is a safe paint that stores sunlight and artificial light
without using any radioactive material, and emits that light in a dark
setting. As the paint discharges the stored light, it will become dimmer
over time. The amount of light emitted and the time that light is emitted
depends on various factors when the light is stored, such as the shape
of the glass, the thickness of the paint, surrounding brightness level, the
distance from the watch to the light source, and the light absorption level.
Please note that when not enough light energy is stored, the watch may
emit weak light or emit light for only a short time.
(10)Water resistant watchband
Some products employ leather and nylon bands on which a special
treatment to resist perspiration and water absorption have been applied.
Please understand that the water resisting effect of this watchband can
be lost depending on the period and conditions of use.

◆FEATURES
(1) This product is a hand-winding mechanical watch.
(2) It comes with a second hand halt mechanism.
(3) Shock-proof bearings to protect the balance with hairspring from shocks.
(4) Power reserve indicator.
◆SPECIFICATIONS
(1) Vibrations : 21,600 vibrations / hour
(2) Number of jewels : 21 jewels
(3) Daily accuracy : +25sec. to -15 sec.
(4) Drive system : Mainspring Winding (Hand-winding)
(5) Runing time : More than 40 hours
The stated daily accuracy is in the following conditions:
• After 24 hours at room temperature with the mainspring wound fully and the
dial facing up.
• Due to the characteristics of the mechanical watch, the time may deviate
from the stated “daily accuracy” depending on the following conditions:
position of the watch, winding condition of the mainspring.
Product specifications may change without notice, for improvement.

◆ABOUT THE HAND-WINDING MECHANISM
(1) This is a hand-winding mechanical watch.
(2) You can wind the mainspring by turning the crown.
To wind the mainspring, ensure that the crown is in its normal position
and slowly turn it to the right (clockwise).
Turning the crown to the left (counterclockwise) will have no effect.
CAUTION
!
(3) You will not be able to turn the crown anymore once the watch is fully
wound. Be careful not to attempt to wind it past this point as doing so
may damage the mainspring or other parts.
(4) After the mainspring is fully wound, the watch will run continuously for
more than 40 hours.
The mainspring should be fully wound at the same time each day.
If the mainspring is not wound sufficiently, it may cause the watch to gain/
lose time.

HOW TO SET THE TIME
(1) Pull the crown out.
(The second hand stops.)
(2) Turn the crown clockwise and set the
current time.
When setting the time, first bring the
hand back slightly later than the actual
time and then move it forward to the
actual time.
(3) Press the crown in to the normal position.

◆POWER RESERVE INDICATOR
The power reserve indicator
shows how much the watch is
wound, allowing you to see how
much longer the watch will run
at a glance. The time pointed to
by the power reserve hand is the
remaining time.
*The remaining time shown is only an approximation. The time shown may
be different from actual remaining time.
This product has a hand-winding system which comes with a power reserve
indicator function. The power reserve hand is pointing to the fully-wound
position (40H). If you do not wind manually, the power reserve hand will move
toward zero as time passes.
