* Before using the water resistance 5, 10, 15 or 20 bar watch in water, be sure the
crown is pushed in completely.
Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet or in water. If used in sea water,
rinse the watch in fresh water and dry it completely.
* When taking a shower with the water resistance 5 bar watch, or taking a bath with
the water resistance 10, 15 or 20 bar watch, be sure to observe the following:
•Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet.
•If the watch is left in warm water, a slight time loss or gain may be caused.
This condition, however, will be corrected when the watch returns to normal
temperature.
NOTE:
Pressure in bar is a test pressure and should not be considered as corresponding
to actual diving depth since swimming movement tends to increase the pressure
at a given depth. Care should also be taken on diving into water.
TEMPERATURES
(122° F) may cause battery leakage or
Your watch works with
stable accuracy within a
temperature range of 5° C
and 35° C (41° F and 95° F).
Temperatures over 50° C
shorten the battery life. Do not leave
your watch in very low temperatures
below –5° C (+23° F) for a long time
since the cold may cause a slight
time loss or gain. However, the above
conditions will be corrected when the
watch returns to normal temperature.
