Notes on calendar setting:
1The date will change gradually between 9:00 P.M. and 4:00 A.M. Therefore, do
not change the calendar during this time period. Otherwise, it may not change
properly. If it is necessary to set the calendar during that time period, first
change the time to any time outside it, set the calendar and then reset the
correct time.
2 If your watch has a bilingual day calendar, choose the desired language.
When the day shifts automatically to the next day, the other language will
appear temporarily.
3 When setting the hour hand, check that AM/PM is correctly set.
The watch is so designed that the calendar changes once in 24 hours.
Turn the hands past the 12 o’clock marker to determine whether the time is
set for the A.M. or P.M. period. If the calendar changes, the time is set for
the A.M. period. If it does not change, the time is set for the P.M. period.

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

actual diving depth since swimming movement tends to increase the pressure at a
given depth. Care should also be taken on diving into water.
