• 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 strenu- ous 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 pe- riod 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 mag- netism. 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 vi

brations such as from riding motorcycles, using jackham- mers, 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, cosmet- ics, etc.), and so forth. Such may cause discoloration of the watchcase, watchband, and dial face. Discoloration, deformation, and damage to vari- ous resin-based component parts may also occur. CAUTION

ENGLISH (7) About accessory parts Do not attempt to disassemble or modify this product. Store the bracelet/strap pin and other small parts out of the reach of chil

dren. 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 watch 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 set- ting. 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 products employ leather and nylon bands on which a special treat

ment 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 “□DH00001B□”, the caliber number is “DH”.

2. Searching by the case code

See the case code on the case back of your watch. The first two digits indicate the caliber number. Example: When the case code is “DH00-C0”, the caliber number is “DH”.

• The place of case code may vary and its letter size may be small and dif

ficult to see depending on the characteristics of watches.

• The pictures and illustrations on this manual may differ from the actual ap

pearance of your watch but the functions and operation procedures are the same.

(1) This is an automatic winding mechanical watch. (2) The mainspring is wound by natural movements of your arm when wearing the watch on your wrist. (3) If your watch stops, swing the watch back and forth ten or more times to re-start the second hand. After it starts moving, set the date and time (dual time or World time). (4) This watch will run approximately 40 hours after it is fully wound. If it is not wound enough, the watch may lose ac- curacy. In order to maintain the watch’s accuracy, we recommend wearing the watch at least 8 hours a day.

MODELS WITH SCREWED-DOWN CROWN

Depending on the model, you may not be able to pull the crown out without unscrewing it (models with screwed-down crown). Operate this type of watch as follows: (1) Before setting the date and time (dual time), first turn the crown to the left to loosen the screw lock. (2) After setting the date and time (dual time), turn the crown to the right while pressing in, until it stops turning to securely tighten the screw.

POWER RESERVE INDICATOR

The power reserve indicator shows how much the watch is wound, allowing you to see how much longer the watch will run at a glance. The time pointed to by the power reserve hand is the remaining time. The remaining time shown is only an ap- proximation. The time shown may be dif- ferent 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 length Power reserve hand10 ENGLISH 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.

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

• 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.18 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 dis- tance 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 pre- venting wrong operation by force or shock. Fig- ures 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
