same time.
[TIME/CALENDAR SETTING]
lThe calendar automatically adjusts for odd and even months including February of

lOnce the year, month and date have been set, the day of the week is automati-
cally set.
lSetting the seconds:
• With the second digits flashing, press button C or E in accordance with a time
signal. The second digits are reset to “00”.
• When the seconds count any number from “30” to “59” and button C or E is
pressed, one minute is added and the seconds are reset to “00”.
lThe flashing digits except the seconds and 12-/24-hour indication move quickly if
button C or E is kept pressed.
lIf the watch is left untouched with the digits flashing, it will automatically return to
the TIME/CALENDAR mode in 2 to 3 minutes.
lNote on unusual display:
While setting the time/calendar, all the segments of the display will light up if both
buttons C and E are pressed at the same time. This is not a malfunction. Press
button B twice to return to the TIME/CALENDAR mode, and then set the time/
calendar again.

of its life, the EL illumination time may become shorter than normal. This shorter
EL illumination will allow the watch to maintain timekeeping functionality prior to
battery replacement.

CARE OF CASE AND BRACELET
Your watch will not be
affected by magnetism.
To prevent possible
rusting of the case
and bracelet caused
by dust, moisture and
perspiration, wipe them
periodically with a soft
dry cloth.
* 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 correspond-
ing 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.
