  • Page 14: Characteristics Of Mechanical Watches

    Characteristics of Mechanical watches About time accuracy of mechanical watches The time accuracy described on this instruction manual is the static accuracy at normal temperature (+5˚C (+41˚F) to +35˚C (+95˚F)). The accuracy of mechanical watches may get out of the described range depending on the following three usage conditions or other reasons.
  • Page 15 Characteristics of Mechanical watches Usage environment (temperature, magnetism, impact, etc.) • Metal parts are used for the part for keeping accuracy in mechanical watch. The accuracy varies affected by their thermal expansion and contraction. • Metal parts are used in mechanical watches. Magnetism affects them and accuracy of the watches in consequence. Do not bring them close to things which have or generate strong magnetism. • Strong shocks may also affect the accuracy.
  • Page 16: Water Resistance

    Water resistance WARNING Water Resistance • Refer to the watch dial and/or the case back for the indication of the water resistance of your watch. The following chart provides examples of use for reference to ensure that your watch is used properly. (The unit “1 bar” is roughly equal to 1 atmosphere.) • WATER RESIST(ANT) ×× bar may also be indicated as W. R. ×× bar. Indication Name Specification Dial or Case back Non-water resistant —...

Because of the natural materials, leather band will be worn, deformed, and discolored over time. It is recommended to replace the band periodically. • The durability of a leather band may be affected when wet (fading, peeling of adhesive), owing to the properties of the material. Moreover, wet leather may cause a rash. • Do not stain a leather band with substances containing volatile materials, bleach, alcohol (including cosmetics). Discoloration and premature aging may be occurred. Ultraviolet light such as direct sunlight may cause discoloration or deformation.
