Tachymeter
scale: “90”
Tachymeter scale can be used only when the time required is less than 60 seconds.

* 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 with soapy water or shampoo.
•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 tem-
perature.
NOTE:
Pressure in bar is a test pressure and should not be considered as cor-
responding to actual diving depth since swimming movement tends to
increase the pressure at a given depth. Care should also be taken on div-
ing into water.
