WATER AND SHOCK RESISTANCE
If your watch is water-resistant, meter marking
(WR_M) is indicated.
*pounds per square inch absolute
WARNING: TO MAINTAIN WATER-RESISTANCE,
DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS OR PULL OUT
THE CROWN UNDER WATER UNLESS YOUR
WATCH IS INDICATED AS 200 METER WATER-
RESISTANT.
1. Watch is water-resistant only as long as crystal,
crown and case remain intact.

ENGLISH
HOW TO START YOUR WATCH
To start your watch remove the plastic guard from
under the crown, then press the crown in against the
case. The second hand will begin advancing in one-
second intervals.
Some deep-depth water-resistant watches require
the setting crown to be screwed in to secure water-
resistance. If your watch case has a protrusion with
screw threads, the crown must be screwed in after
setting the watch.
To screw in, push the crown firmly against the
threaded protrusion and hold in while turning the
crown clockwise. Continue to screw in the crown
until it is tight. You will need to unscrew the crown
(counter-clockwise) before pulling it out the next time
you want to set your watch.
