[A] Rome Time : +1 hour from GMT

 The cities marked with “*” (asterisk) use daylight saving time (summer time).
To charge the KINETIC electricity storage unit efficiently, swing the watch from side to side, making
an arc of about 20 cm.
No additional benefit is obtained by swinging the watch more quickly or with greater vigor.
When the watch is swung, the oscillating weight in the generating system rotates to drive the
mechanism. As it rotates, it gives out a sound, which is not a malfunction.
The watch is equipped with a system to prevent overcharge. Even if it is further swung after being fully
charged, no malfunction will result.
Provided with an instant-start function, the watch may start operating after it is swung several times.
For details, see “INSTANT-START FUNCTION” on page 11.
Wear the watch daily for at least 10 hours.
Even if the watch is worn on your arm, it will not be charged while your arm is not in motion.
The power reserve indicator provides only a general guideline of the duration within which the watch
keeps operating without needing to be charged.
To allow easy reading of the second hand, press the button when the second hand is at the 12 o’clock
position.
You can immediately press the button again to recheck the power reserve one more time. To do
so a third time, however, wait until the second hand resumes normal movement before pressing
the button again.
When the second hand moves at two-second intervals, the power reserve is very low and the
indicator does not function.
Immediately after the watch is swung to charge the KINETIC electricity storage unit, the second
hand may not properly indicate the power reserve. Please check after putting the watch on your
wrist.

TIME DIFFERENCES
The time differences and the use of daylight saving time (summer time) may change in some areas or
countries when they are so decided by the countries concerned.
Remarks on the reserve power of the KINETIC electricity storage unit:
Even while the second hand is stopped by pulling out the crown, current continues being consumed
by the built-in IC. Therefore, pulling out the crown will not save the energy stored in the KINETIC
electricity storage unit.
Precaution on see-through case-back models:
If your watch has a glass case back, do not expose the case back to strong light such as direct
sunlight or an incandescent light at close range, as this may temporarily increase the power
consumption of the watch circuit, thus reducing the power reserve in the KINETIC electricity storage
unit. This condition, however, will be corrected when the case back is turned away from the light.
ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION
The watch remains accurate even while the second hand is moving at two-second intervals.
OPERATION FOR CAL. 5M45
To set the exact time, pull out the crown to the second click when the second hand is at the 12
o’clock position and push it back in to the normal position in accordance with a time signal.
When setting the minute hand, advance it 4 to 5 minutes ahead of the desired time and then turn it back
to the exact minute.
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 watch is set for the A.M. or P.M.
period. If the calendar changes, the time is set for the A.M. period. If the calendar does not change,
the time is set for the P.M. period.
It is necessary to adjust the date at the end of February and 30-day months.
In this case, pull out the crown to the first click and turn the hour hand 2 full circles for each day by
turning the crown. Then set the current time again.
INSTANT-START FUNCTION
When a long time has passed since the watch stopped, you can get it started quickly with only a few
swings.
This function is available as long as:
1 the watch previously had more than 4 days of power reserve before it stopped.
2 it has been left untouched for 1 to 4 weeks.
After the watch starts operating, put it on your wrist so that it will be charged further until the second
hand moves at one-second intervals.
If the second hand continues moving at two-second intervals after the watch is put on your wrist, swing
it from side to side until the second hand starts moving at one-second intervals, and then, put it on your
wrist.
HOW TO OPERATE THE SCREW LOCK TYPE CROWN
(for models with screw lock type crown)
To unscrew the crown:
Turn the crown counterclockwise. (Then, pull it out for time/calendar setting)
To screw in the crown:
With the crown at the normal position, turn it clockwise while pressing it.
