CAUTION
Always keep your Watch Clean
• Rotate the crown while it is pressed in fully and press the buttons periodically so they do
not become stuck due to accumulations of foreign matter.
• The case and band of the watch come into direct contact with the skin in the same
manner as undergarments. Corrosion of the metal or unnoticed soiling such as that
caused by perspiration and dirt can soil sleeves and other portions of clothing. Keep your
watch clean at all times.
• The case and band of the watch come into direct contact with the skin. Rust, dirt or
perspiration present on the watch's body or band may cause itching or a rash on your skin.
Such problems may also occur if you have an allergy to certain metals or leather.
If you think there is something wrong, discontinue wearing the watch immediately and
consult your physician.
• Leather bands may become discolored by perspiration or dirt. Always keep your leather
band clean by wiping with a dry cloth.

CAUTION
Caring for your Watch
• Wipe any dirt or moisture such as perspiration from the case and crystal with a soft cloth.
• For a metallic, plastic or rubber watchband, wash any dirt off with water. Remove the
small amounts of dirt trapped between the crevices of the metallic band with a soft brush.
• If you will not be using your watch for an extended period of time, carefully wipe off any
perspiration, dirt or moisture and store in a proper location, avoiding locations subject to
excessively high or low temperatures and high humidity.
<About the Watch with Luminous Paint>
The paint on the dial and hands helps you with reading the time in a dark place. The
luminous paint stores daylight or artificial light (not including incandescent lighting) and
glows in a dark place.
It is free from any radioactive substance or any other material harmful to a human body or
environment.
• The light emission gradually becomes weaker as time passes.
• The duration of the light ("glow") will vary depending on the brightness, types of and
distance from a light source, exposure time, and the amount of the paint.
• The paint may not glow and/or may dissipate quickly if exposure to light was not
sufficient.
