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. The accuracy of mechanical watches may get out of the described range depending on the following three usage conditions or other reasons.

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.

Characteristics of Mechanical watches Requests and cautions regarding this watch • Make sure to adequately wind the mainspring before setting the time (hour and minute hands). • If the time is set without the mainspring being adequately wound, the second hand will oscillate back and forth 2-3 seconds.
Before using Band adjustment We recommend seeking the assistance of an experienced watch technician for sizing of your watch. If adjustment is not done correctly, the bracelet may unexpectedly become detached leading to loss of your watch or injury. Consult an authorized service center.

Mainspring • When the watch stops, turning the crown about 40 times will wind the mainspring fully. • When the mainspring is wound fully, turning the crown further does not damage the mainspring. Winding the mainspring automatically • When wearing the watch, your hand’s movement rotates the oscillating weight to wind the mainspring automatically.
Setting the time and calendar Setting the time Pull the crown out to position Position for models without a calendar (date/day). Rotate the crown to adjust the time . • Change of date indication shows it just became AM. Set the time to ensure proper AM or PM time is set.

Setting the time and calendar Setting the calendar Pull the crown out to position Rotate the crown to set the date and day . • The date changes if the crown is turned to the left. • The day changes if the crown is turned to the right. The day is alternately displayed in two languages.
Page 15
Setting the time and calendar • Avoid correction of the date and day when the watch hands are between the hours of 9:00 PM and 4:30 AM. Correcting the date and day during this time period may prevent the date from changing on the following day. Set the date and day after the hands have moved outside this time period.
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.
Page 17
Water resistance • Upgraded water-resistance for daily use (to 5 atmospheres) means that the watch may be worn while swimming, but is not to worn while skin diving. • Upgraded water-resistance for daily use (to 10/20 atmospheres) means that the watch may be worn while skin diving, but not while scuba or saturated diving using helium gas.
Precautionary items and usage limitations CAUTION To Avoid Injury • Be particularly careful when wearing your watch while holding a small child, to avoid injury. • Be particularly careful when engaged in strenuous exercise or work, to avoid injury to yourself and others.
