Do not wear the watch while taking a bath or a sauna. Steam, soap or some components of a hot spring may accelerate the deterioration of water resistant performance of the watch. Do not pour running water directly from faucet. The water pressure of tap water from a faucet is high enough to degrade the water resistant performance of a water resistant watch for everyday life.

LUMIBRITE 〔IF YOUR WATCH HAS LUMIBRITE〕 LumiBrite is a luminous paint that is completely to human beings and natural environment, containing no noxious materials such as radioactive substance. LumiBrite is a newly-developed luminous paint that absorbs the light in the dark. For example, if exposed to a light of more than 500 lux for approximately 10 minutes, LumiBrite can emit light 5 to 8 hours. Please note, however, that, as LumiBrite emits the light it stores, the luminance level of the light decreases gradually over time. The dura- tion of the emitted light may also differ slightly depending on such factors as the bright- ness of the place where the watch is exposed to light and the distance from the light source to the watch.
