SCREW-DOWN CROWN
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
(counterclockwise) before pulling it out the next time
you want to set your watch.

1. Watch is water-resistant only as long as crystal,
crown and case remain intact.
2. Watch is not a diver watch and should not be
used for diving.
3. Screw-in setting crown and case back must be
screwed into case to assure water-resistance
(see Set Time for Style 1).
4. Rinse watch with fresh water after exposure to
salt water.

face or caseback. Watches are designed to pass

CORONA DE ROSCA
Algunos relojes resistentes al agua a grandes
profundidades necesitan que la corona de ajuste se
atornille para asegurar la resistencia al agua. Si la
caja de su reloj tiene una protuberancia roscada, la
corona debe atornillarse después de ajustar el reloj.
Para atornillarla, empuje la corona con firmeza contra
la protuberancia roscada y mantenga la presión
mientras gira la corona en sentido horario. Continúe
atornillando la corona hasta que esté firme.
Necesitará desatornillar la corona (en sentido
antihorario) antes de jalarla hacia afuera la próxima
vez que quiera ajustar su reloj.
