■ ROTATING BEZEL

By setting the rotating bezel beforehand, the elapsed time since the start of an event such as diving can be measured.
This watch has an one-way rotating bezel. As the evaluation of the remaining air in
your cylinder is based on the information of the elapsed time of the dive, the rotating
bezels for a diver's watch is designed to rotate only counterclockwise, so that the
watch is prevented from displaying the elapsed time shorter than it actually is.

T he rot at i n g b ezel is de sig ned t o rot at e on ly
counterclockwise. Do not forcibly rotate it clockwise.
Make sure that you check the correct remaining amount of air in your cylinder before diving.
Use the display of the elapsed time by the rotating bezel only as a guide during diving.

■ HOW TO USE THE DIVER ADJUSTER

The metal bracelet of this watch is equipped with a diver adjuster mechanism.
It is very useful when you wear the watch over a wet suit, as it allows you to
easily adjust the bracelet length.
１．Lift up the flap approximately 90° until it stands upright.
２． Press the flap down further approximately
20° , and hold it there.
64 ※ You may feel slight resistance, but doing this
requires only a light force.
Please do not push the flap down forcibly.
３． Lightly pull the bracelet on the 6 o'clock side of
the watch along the curved line of the bracelet.
※ Again as the step 2 above, doing this requires only a
light force. Please do not pull the bracelet forcibly.
※ The slider can be pulled out approximately 30 mm. Be
careful not to pull it out beyond the limit mark inscribed
on it. （Refer to the illustration on the next page.）

■ HOW TO WIND THE MAINSPRING

This watch is a self-winding watch equipped with a manual winding mechanism. When the watch
is worn on the wrist, the motion of your arm automatically winds the mainspring of the watch.
※ Observe the power reserve indicator to check the amount of the remaining power.
⇒ ■ "POWER RESERVE INDICATOR" page 68
※ When first using the stopped watch, it is recommended that you manually wind the
mainspring by turning the crown.
● Guide for winding state of the mainspring
66
Self-winding： The mainspring of the watch is designed to be fully wound when it is
worn for twelve hours per day for three to five consecutive days.
Manual winding： Five full rotations of the crown will provide the power
to run the watch for approximately ten hours.
※ The watch employs a device to prevent overwinding of the mainspring. Once the mainspring is fully wound,
the mainspring slips inside, disengaging the winding mechanism. When this happens, you can still turn the
crown without damaging the watch, however, please refrain from excessive operation of the mainspring.

■ POWER RESERVE INDICATOR

The power reserve indicator lets you know the winding state of the mainspring
（the amount of the remaining power） .
Before removing the watch from your wrist,
observe the power reserve indicator to check
if the watch has stored enough power to keep
running until the next time you wear it. If
68
necessary, wind the mainspring. （To prevent
the watch from stopping, wind the mainspring to
store the excess power that will allow the watch
to run for extra time.）

※ The continuous operable time of the watch may vary depending on actual use conditions, such
as the number of hours you wear the watch or the extent of your movement while wearing it.
※ In a case where you wear the watch for a short period of time each day, observe the power reserve
indicator to check the level of the remaining power. If necessary, manually wind the mainspring.
