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 this product.
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 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.

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 and time.
(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 and time, first turn the crown to the left to loosen
the screw lock.
(2) After setting the date and time, turn the crown to the right while pressing
in, until it stops turning to securely tighten the screw.
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 an automatic-winding system which comes with a power
reserve indicator function. The mainspring will be automatically wound by your
natural arm movements while you wear it on your wrist. The power reserve
hand is pointing to the fully-wound position (40H). The amount the watch is
wound will change with the frequency of your arm movements and the length
of time you wear the watch, so the hand will not always point to the fully-wound
Power reserve
hand

month, if the days at the end of the month
(31st, etc.) are aligned with the section that
does not have the days of the week printed
on the dial (3 - 4 o’clock side), days of the
week will not be indicated at the end of the
month.
HOW TO USE THE ROTATING INDICATOR BEZEL
Please notice that some models come with a
rotating indicator bezel, which should be used
properly.
Turn the bezel by pointing the
 mark to the
minute-hand. While certain time goes by,
you can measure the elapsed time from the
distance between minute-hand and figures
on the rotating indicator bezel. You can also
set the
 mark as a desired time to remind
you how long time is still remain for an
appointment.
You cannot turn the bezel reversely since
it comes with a protection mechanism for
preventing wrong operation by force or shock.
Figures on the bezel could also help you to read the current time easily.
