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.

or perforation of mucous membrane even in a short period of time, and in
the worst-case scenario, may result in death. Never leave button batteries
or coin batteries within the reach of infants or young children.
If a button battery or coin battery is ingested, or there is a possibility
that one was ingested, it must be removed at once. Please treat as an
emergency situation and contact a doctor immediately.
2Do not remove the battery from the watch. Contact the place of purchase
of the watch or your nearest ORIENT authorized service center for
assistance when wanting to remove the battery.
3The battery used in this watch is not a rechargeable battery, so it cannot be
recharged and used again. Do not attempt to charge the battery as doing
so could cause it to overheat or explode.
4A skin rash or other symptom may develop if leaking battery fluid comes
into contact with skin. Do not leave depleted batteries sitting around for
long periods of time.
(3) Replacing the Battery
1Depleted batteries that are left sitting in the watch for long periods of time
may begin to leak battery acid, which could lead to malfunction. Be sure to
replace depleted batteries as soon as possible.
2Replace the watch battery only with the specified battery type.
3Battery replacement requires special-purpose tools, techniques, etc.
Reversing the polarities when inserting the battery may cause the battery
to overheat or explode. Contact the place of purchase or your nearest

(11) About “luminous light”
Some Products 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.
(12)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.

HOW TO USE THE STOPWATCH
• The stopwatch measures up to 40 minutes in 1/100-second increments.
• The stopwatch will continue measuring time for up to 2 hours. Once 2
hours have passed, the stopwatch will automatically stop.
• The stopwatch time can be read using the stopwatch 1/10 second hand
and 1/100 second hand located at the 12 o’clock position, the stopwatch
second hand located in the center, and the stopwatch minute hand located
at the 6 o’clock position.
• The stopwatch has a split time function.
• The stopwatch minute hand (total of 40 minutes) uses a retrograde
mechanism. The hand returns to the one-minute position when 41 minutes
have elapsed, and the stopwatch will continue measuring the time. When
81 minutes have elapsed, the hand returns to the one-minute position
again, and automatically stops after 120 minutes elapse.
* The stopwatch 1/10 and 1/100 second hands move for the first 3 minutes
after the stopwatch is started. However, after 3 minutes elapse, the hands
will remain at the “0” position and measure the time when the stopwatch is
stopped or the split time function is used.
[How to read the stopwatch hands]
The time measured is indicated by the four stopwatch hands (minute, second,
1/10-second and 1/100-second hands).
<Note on adjusting the stopwatch hand position>

HOW TO USE THE TACHYMETER
Some models may come with a tachymeter scale printed around the bezel or
dial. Check your watch to see if it comes with a tachymeter scale, and follow
the steps listed below to use it, if it does have one.
A tachymeter is a function that enables users to determine average speed
based on a measurement of the amount of time it takes to travel a certain
distance (1 km). The tachymeter can also be used to determine the rate
of production per unit of time (per hour). (measuring range: maximum 60
seconds)
(1) Press button Aat the start point or when a
product begins to be made.
(2) Press button Aagain once 1 km have
been passed or the product is completed.
(3) Read the numeral on the tachymeter scale
at which the stopwatch second hand is
pointing.
(In this case, the hand is pointing at 80 on
the tachymeter scale, which would give
an average speed of 80 km/hr. or a rate
of production of 80 units/hr.)
* The measuring range for the tachymeter is
up to one minute.
Note that if the measuring range exceeds one minute, it may not be possible
to determine the average speed or rate of production per unit of time.

◆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.
