* It is recommended that you use the watch correctly following the above-mentioned scope of usage
after ascertaining water resistance precautions marked on the dial or caseback.

ENGLISH
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.
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.
CAUTION
!
WARNING
!

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.
CAUTION
!

ENGLISH
(7) About accessory parts
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the watch.
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
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 models 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 models 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.

SPECIFICATIONS
(1) Vibrations: 21.600 vibrations/hour
(2) Number of Jewels: 21 jewels
(3) Daily accurancy: 25 sec. to -15 sec.
(4) Running time: More than 40 hours
(5) Date indicator
(6) Shock-proof bearings to protect the balance with hairspring from shocks.
(7) Rotating picture: With a total of seven different picture designs, the
picture changes daily automatically.
The picture design can also be changed manually if the click button is
pressed twice.
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 automatic winding watch, the time may
deviate from the stated “daily accuracy” depending on the following
conditions: amount of time the watch is worn each day, position of the
watch, movement of your arm, winding condition of the mainspring.
Product specifications may change without notice, for improvement.

AUTOMATIC WINDING MECHANISM
(1) This is an automatic winding mechanical watch.
(2) The mainspring is wound by natural movements of your
arm when wearing the watch on your wrist.
(3) If your watch stops, swing the watch back and forth ten
or more times to re-start the second hand. After it starts
moving, set the date, time, and rotating picture.
(4) This watch will run approximately 40 hours after it is fully
wound. If it is not wound enough, the watch may lose
accuracy. In order to maintain the watch’s accuracy, we
recommend wearing the watch at least 8 hours a day.

MODELS WITH SCREWED-DOWN CROWN
Depending on the model, you may not be able to pull the crown out without
unscrewing it (models with screwed-down crown).
Operate this type of watch as follows:
(1) Before setting the date, time, or rotating picture, first turn the crown to the
left to loosen the screw lock.
(2) After setting the date, time, or rotating picture, turn the crown to the right
while pressing in, until it stops turning to securely tighten the screw.
HOW TO SET THE TIME
(1) Pull out the crown to the second click.
The second hand does not stop.
(2) Turn the crown clockwise and set the
current time.
* Since this watch comes with a calendar,
make sure that you set either a.m. or
p.m. without fail.
The date changes at [twelve o’clock
midnight].
* When setting the time, first bring the
hand back slightly later the actual time
and then move it forward to the actual
time.
(3) Press the crown in to the normal position.
Turn clockwiseTurn clockwise

HOW TO CHANGE THE ROTATING PICTURE
(1) Press the click button at the 2 o’clock position to set the desired picture
design.
☆Δ
Once Twice
* The Rotating Picture changes each time the button is pressed twice.
( The picture will not change to the correct position if the button is only
pressed once.)
Continue pressing the button to set the picture to the desired picture
design.
There are seven different picture designs in total.
* Models with click buttons that cannot be pressed with a finger (models with
hidden buttons)
To change the Rotating Picture, press the button using something that
has a fine tip (a precision screwdriver, tweezers, etc.) to rotate through the
designs.
CAUTION
!
* Avoid setting the date or rotating picture between 10:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m.
since the calendar or rotating picture changes during this time. If the date or
rotating picture is set during this time period, the date or rotating picture may
not change or the watch may malfunction. Be sure to move the hour and minute
hands away from this time period when setting the date or rotating picture.
