NOTES ON OPERATING THE WATCH
TIME/CALENDAR SETTING
●Do not set the date between 8:00 p.m. and 2:00 a.m. Otherwise, it may not change
properly.
* If it is necessary to set the date during that time period, first change the time to any
time outside it, set the date and then reset the correct time.
●When setting Hour hand, check that AM/PM is correctly set.
* The watch is so designed that the date changes once in 24 hours. Turn the hands past
the 12 o’clock marker to determine whether the watch is set for the A.M. or P.M.
period. If the date changes, the time is set for the A.M. period. If the date does not
change, the time is set for the P.M. period.
●When setting Minute hand, be sure to turn back the hands a little behind the desired
time and then advance them to the exact time.
●It is necessary to adjust the date at the end of February and 30-day months.
AUTOMATIC WINDING
●This is an automatic winding mechanical watch and cannot be wound manually.
●This watch will run approximately 40 hours after it is fully wound. If it is not wound
enough, the watch may lose time. In order to maintain the watch’s accuracy, we
recommend wearing the watch at least 8 hours a day.

English

POWER RESERVE INDICATOR
●The remaining time shown is only an approximation. The time shown may be different
from actual remaining time.
This product has an automatic-winding system which comes with a power reserve
indicator function. The mainspring will be automatically wound by your natural arm
movements while you wear it on your wrist. The power reserve hand is pointing to the
fully-wound position (40H). The amount the watch is wound will change with the
frequency of your arm movements and the amount of time you wear the watch, so the
hand will not always point to the fully-wound position. If you remove the watch from
your arm and do not wind manually, the power reserve hand will move toward zero as
time passes.

SPECIFICATIONS
●Vibration : 21,600 Oscillations / 1hr
●Loss/Gain : Within +25 and –15 Second
(Daily Rate)*
●Jewels : 23 Jewels
* The mechanism of mechanical watches is very precise and delicate. Time accuracy
may change depending of which direction the watch faces. Therefore, any actual
loss/gain may not fall within the range of time accuracy specified above, and
depends on the condition of use, such as the length of time during which the watch
is worn on the wrist, temperature, affection of strong magnetism, vibration like
motorcycles or chain saws, life style (whether much arm movement is involved or
not), whether the watch is wound up fully or not, etc.

* 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
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.
Your watch works stably within
a temperature range of 5°C
and 35°C (41°F and 95°F).
Do not leave your watch in
very low or high temperatures.
