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.

HOW TO IDENTIFY THE CALIBER NUMBER
Check the caliber number by referring to the model number of your watch or
the case code on the watch’s case back.
1. Searching by 10-digit model number
Check the 10-digit model number on the guarantee supplied with your watch.
You can also see the number on the product tag put on the watch. Its second
and third digits indicate the caliber number of your watch.
Example: If the model number is “ FX01002B ”, the caliber number is “FX”.
2. Searching by the case code
See the case code on the case back of your watch.
A: If the case code is 6 digits, the first two digits indicate the caliber number.
B: If the case code is 8 or 9 digits, the first three digits indicate the movement
number. Search the caliber number corresponding to the movement
number referring to the correspondence table.
Example A Example B
Case code
Case code
Example A : When the case code is “FX01-C0”, the caliber number is “FX”.
Example B : When the case code is “46D001-9”, the movement number is
“46D”. The caliber number corresponding the number will be
found “EU” on the table.
* The place of case code may vary and its letter size may be small and
difficult to see depending on the characteristics of watches.
* The pictures and illustrations on this manual may differ from the actual
appearance of your watch but the function and operation procedures are
the same.

◆HOW TO USE THE DUAL TIME FUNCTION [FE(46P)]
You can see the time for two different time zones, one for the city you are in
and another for any other city, using the rotating bezel and the 24-hour hand.
(1) First be sure that the watch is showing the correct time.
(2) Get the time difference for the city you want to know the time of. (See
Comparison table of standard times.)
(3) When the time difference is a negative number, turn the bezel clockwise to
that number of hours. When the time difference is positive, turn the bezel
counterclockwise to that number of hours.
(4) The number on the bezel where the 24-hour hand is pointing will be the
time in the city you selected.
Example: When you want to know the time in London while you are in Japan
London time is 9 hours behind Japan. Therefore, turn the rotating bezel
clockwise 9 hours. The hours and minutes shown by the watch hands is the
time in Japan. The number on the bezel where the 24-hour hand is pointing
is the time in London. (Japan time: 10:09 a.m., London time: 01:09 a.m.)

◆USING THE ROTATING WORLD TIME RING
When you turn the rotating indicator ring and align the city names with the
times, you can read the respective times of the cities right away.
Example: It is 10:00 p.m. in Tokyo now.
(1) In the 24-hour system, 10:00 p.m. is 22:00 hours.
(2) Set TOKYO on the World Time
Ring to the 22-hour position of
the 24-hour scale.
* The World Time Ring comes in
various types, such as with a
crown for setting world time or
with a rotating bezel.
(3) The position that CHICAGO on
the World Time Ring indicates
is the time in Chicago.
* The position indicated by each
scale on the World Time Ring represents the time in that country.
Using this method, you can simultaneously see the time in countries around
the world by using the scales on the World Time Ring and reading the dial.
