• It is recommended that you use the watch correctly following the above-mentioned scope of usage after ascertaining water resistance precautions marked on the dial or caseback.3 ENGLISH 1 A watch with water resistance for daily life 30m (3 bar) can be used during face-washing, etc. but cannot be used in an environment in which it will be submerged in water. 2 A watch with reinforced water resistance for daily life I 50m (5 bar) can be used while swimming, etc. but cannot be used during any type of diving including skin diving. 3 A watch with reinforced water resistance for daily life II 100m or 200m (10 or 20 bar) can be used while skin diving, but cannot be used while scuba diving using oxygen tanks or saturation diving using helium gas, etc. 4 Keep the crown pushed in at all times (in the normal position) while using the watch. If the crown is the screwed-down type, check that it is securely screwed down. 5 Do not operate the crown underwater, or while the watch is wet. Water may enter the interior of the watch and defeat the water resistance. 6 If your watch is non-water resistant, beware of splashes of water (during face washing, rain, etc.) and sweat. If the watch becomes wet from water or sweat, wipe the moisture off with a dry, soft cloth. 7 Even with a water resistant watch for everyday use, avoid directing strong jets of mains water onto the watch. Water pressure above the limit can apply, which may defeat the water resistance. 8 With a water resistant watch for everyday use, rinse sea water off the case after exposure, then wipe it thoroughly to avoid corrosion and other effects. 9 The interior of the watch contains some amount of moisture, which may cause fogging on the inside of the glass when the outside air is cooler than the internal temperature of the watch. If the fogging is temporary it causes no harm inside the watch, but if prolonged, or if water enters the watch, consult your place of purchase and do not leave the problem untreated. CAUTION

ENGLISH (2) Shock 1 Be sure not to carry the watch when you engage in strenuous sports, whereas playing such light sports as golf, etc., will not adversely influence the watch. 2 Avoid a violent shock such as dropping the watch on the floor. (3) Magnetism 1 If the watch is left at a location with strong magnetism for an extended period of time, the components may be magnetized, resulting in malfunction. Be careful. 2 The watch may temporarily speed up or slow down when exposed to magnetism. Precision is restored when placed away from magnetism. In such a case, reset the time. (4) Vibration The watch may lose precision if subjected to strong vibrations such as from riding motorcycles, using jackhammers, chain saws, etc. (5) Temperature In environments below and above normal temperatures (5°C-35°C), the watch may malfunction and stop. Do not use the watch at high temperatures, such as in a sauna. The watch may heat and cause burns. (6) Chemicals, Gases, etc. Utmost caution must be exercised when coming into contact with gases, mercury, chemicals (paint thinner, gasoline, various solvents, detergents containing such components, adhesives, paint, drugs, perfumes, cosmetics, etc.), and so forth. Such may cause discoloration of the watchcase, watchband, and dial face. Discoloration, deformation, and damage to various resin-based component parts may also occur. CAUTION

ENGLISH (7) About accessory parts Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the watch. Store the bracelet/strap pin and other small parts out of the reach of children. If any small parts are swallowed, immediately contact a doctor. (8) Allergic reactions If you develop a skin rash or your skin becomes abnormally irritated due to contact with the watch or strap, stop wearing the watch immediately and consult a doctor. (9) About “luminous light” Some models have luminous light on the hands and dial. The luminous light is a safe paint that stores sunlight and artificial light without using any radioactive material, and emits that light in a dark setting. As the paint discharges the stored light, it will become dimmer over time. The amount of light emitted and the time that light is emitted depends on various factors when the light is stored, such as the shape of the glass, the thickness of the paint, surrounding brightness level, the distance from the watch to the light source, and the light absorption level. Please note that when not enough light energy is stored, the watch may emit weak light or emit light for only a short time. (10) Water resistant watchband Some models employ leather and nylon bands on which a special treatment to resist perspiration and water absorption have been applied. Please understand that the water resisting effect of this watchband can be lost depending on the period and conditions of use. WARNING

Check the caliber number by referring to the model number of your watch or the case code on the watch’s case back.

1. Searching by 10-digit model number

Check the 10-digit model number on the guarantee supplied with your watch. You can also see the number on the product tag put on the watch. Its second and third digits indicate the caliber number of your watch. Example: If the model number is “ FX01002B ”, the caliber number is “FX”.

2. Searching by the case code

See the case code on the case back of your watch. A: If the case code is 6 digits, the first two digits indicate the caliber number. B: If the case code is 8 or 9 digits, the first three digits indicate the movement number. Search the caliber number corresponding to the movement number referring to the correspondence table. Example A Example B Case code Case code Example A : When the case code is “FX01-C0”, the caliber number is “FX”. Example B : When the case code is “46D001-9”, the movement number is “46D”. The caliber number corresponding the number will be found “EU” on the table.

• The place of case code may vary and its letter size may be small and difficult to see depending on the characteristics of watches.

• The pictures and illustrations on this manual may differ from the actual appearance of your watch but the function and operation procedures are the same.7 ENGLISH SPECIFICATIONS CaliberNumber of JewelsDate Day of week 24H hand Daily accuracy Remark1*ES 46C 21 Hand Indicating type– +25~-15s/day9:00 p.m. ~ 2:00 a.m.ET 46B 21 Hand Indicating type +25~-15s/day9:00 p.m. ~ 2:00 a.m.EU 46D 21 – +25~-15s/day9:00 p.m. ~ 2:00 a.m.EV 46E 21 Wide type– +25~-15s/day10:00 p.m. ~ 1:00 a.m.FE 46P 21

A calendar with the days for the specified month in their appropriate places is displayed at the bottom of the dial.18 ENGLISH ◆ HOW TO USE THE DUAL TIME FUNCTION [FE(46P)] You can see the time for two different time zones, one for the city you are in and another for any other city, using the rotating bezel and the 24-hour hand. (1) First be sure that the watch is showing the correct time. (2) Get the time difference for the city you want to know the time of. (See Comparison table of standard times.) (3) When the time difference is a negative number, turn the bezel clockwise to that number of hours. When the time difference is positive, turn the bezel counterclockwise to that number of hours. (4) The number on the bezel where the 24-hour hand is pointing will be the time in the city you selected. Example: When you want to know the time in London while you are in Japan London time is 9 hours behind Japan. Therefore, turn the rotating bezel clockwise 9 hours. The hours and minutes shown by the watch hands is the time in Japan. The number on the bezel where the 24-hour hand is pointing is the time in London. (Japan time: 10:09 a.m., London time: 01:09 a.m.)

Example: When you want to know the time in Japan while you are in London Japan time is 9 hours ahead of the time in London. Therefore, turn the rotating bezel counterclockwise 9 hours. The hours and minutes shown by the watch hands is the time in London. The number on the bezel where the 24-hour hand is pointing is the time in Japan. (London time: 10:09 a.m., Japan time 07:09 p.m.).

When you turn the rotating indicator ring and align the city names with the times, you can read the respective times of the cities right away. Example: It is 10:00 p.m. in Tokyo now. (1) In the 24-hour system, 10:00 p.m. is 22:00 hours. (2) Set TOKYO on the World Time Ring to the 22-hour position of the 24-hour scale.

• The World Time Ring comes in various types, such as with a crown for setting world time or with a rotating bezel. (3) The position that CHICAGO on the World Time Ring indicates is the time in Chicago.

• The position indicated by each scale on the World Time Ring represents the time in that country. Using this method, you can simultaneously see the time in countries around the world by using the scales on the World Time Ring and reading the dial.

• The position of the inner ring crown and details of the date indicator may vary depending on the model. World Time Ring 24-hour scale TOKYO CHICAGO20 ENGLISH

• Some countries use daylight savings time. There may be cases where the time difference and daylight savings time change to suit the country’s convenience.

• The city names listed are major cities in various countries of the world. Please note in advance that some product specifications are subject to change for product improvement purposes.

• If planning to use the watch in a place not listed in the table above, select a city in the same time zone as the city for which you want to indicate time.21 ENGLISH ◆ HOW TO ADJUST A DAY OF THE WEEK [FX(46Y)] Correction of a day of the week is required the beginning of a month. Please unite the day of the week display of a dial on the day at the beginning of a month. Please adjust the following procedure. First step Second step Push the click button, and adjust a day of the week. Whenever it pushes a day of the week display twice, it changes. (* It does not change to the right position only by pushing once) Please repeat this operation and adjust with the day of the week of that month.

• For types of watches with a click button that cannot be pressed with your finger (i.e. the “hidden button” type) The day of the week can be set by pressing the click button using a sharp, pointed object such as a precision screwdriver, a pair of tweezers or a metal pin.22 ENGLISH ◆ USING THE ROTATING ORIENTATION RING [FE (46P)] Turning the crown will rotate the rotating orientation ring. If you point the hour hand in the direction of the sun while keeping the watch horizontal, the direction between the hour hand and twelve o’clock will face south. (1) In the morning, with twelve o’clock as the origin, “the position midway between twelve o’clock and the hour hand counterclockwise from twelve o’clock” will point toward south. Refer to FIG. 1. (2) In the afternoon, with twelve o’clock as the origin, “the position midway between twelve o’clock and the hour hand clockwise from twelve o’clock” will point toward south. Refer to FIG. 2. The orientation ring is labeled with indications for north, south, east, and west (N, S, E, and W) as well as numbers for degrees of angles to allow directions to be known quickly.

• The position of the inner ring crown and details of the date indicator may vary depending on the model.

FIG. 2 12 o’clockSouth23 ENGLISH This function can only be used in the northern hemisphere. However, you may not be able to use it in regions in latitudes lower than the Tropic of Cancer, depending on the season.

• To use this function, you need to be able to confirm the position of the sun.

• To use this function, you need to set the watch’s time to the local time of the place where you are located.

• This function is merely a simple compass and cannot be used to determine true direction. <Note on usage> Example: When wanting to know the direction of east at nine o’clock in the morning. Refer to FIG. 1. (1) Point the hour hand toward the sun. (2) The position midway between the hour hand (nine o’clock) and twelve o’clock points toward south, so turn the S on the rotating orientation ring to line it up with the position of 10:30 on the dial. (3) In this case, the direction in which E points (7:30) on the rotating orientation ring is east.24 ENGLISH

◆ HOW TO SET THE MONTHLY CALENDAR

Some models come with a calendar function which uses an inner ring or bezel on the exterior of the case to indicate the date. The monthly calendar can be used by turning the crown to set the rotating ring inside the watchcase and aligning it with the day of the week that is printed on the dial. Turn the crown to align the first day of the month to the appropriate day of the week.

• Note that when setting the first day of the month, if the days at the end of the month (31st, etc.) are aligned with the section that does not have the days of the week printed on the dial (3 - 4 o’clock side), days of the week will not be indicated at the end of the month.

• The position of the inner ring crown and details of the date indicator may vary depending on the model.25 ENGLISH HOW TO USE THE ROTATING INDICATOR BEZEL Please notice that some models come with a rotating indicator bezel, which should be used properly. Turn the bezel by pointing the

mark to the minute-hand. While certain time goes by, you can measure the elapsed time from the distance between minute-hand and figures on the rotating indicator bezel. You can also set the

mark as a desired time to remind you how long time is still remain for an appointment. You cannot turn the bezel reversely since it comes with a protection mechanism for preventing wrong operation by force or shock. Figures on the bezel could also help you to read the current time easily.

• Depending on design, anti-reversely and 1 minute “click” sound mechanism on rotating indicator bezel does not apply to some models. Rotating bezel
