CAUTION
Always Keep your Watch Clean
Small amouts of dirt may become trapped in the tiny gap between the crown and case,
L
making it difficult to pull out the crown. It is recommended to occasionally turn the
crown in its normal position to remove any dirt.
The case and band of the watch come into direct contact with the skin in the same
L
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.
Wearing this watch may cause itching or rash if you have sensitive skin or certain
L
physical conditions. If you think there is something wrong, discontinue wearing the
watch immediately and consult your physician.
Possible causes of rashes include:
1. Allergy to certain metal or leather
2. Rust, dirt or perspiration present on the watch's body or band
Leather bands may become discolored by perspiration or dirt. Always keep your
L
leather band clean by wiping with a dry cloth.
Do NOT wear the band too tightly. Try to leave enough space between the band and
L
your skin to allow adequate ventilation.

<Caring for your Watch>
Wipe any dirt or moisture such as perspiration from the case and crystal with a soft
L
cloth.
Remove any dirt from a leather band with a dry cloth.
L
For a metallic, plastic or rubber watchband, wash any dirt off with water. Remove the
L
small amounts of dirt trapped between the crevices of the metallic band with a soft
brush.
Do NOT use solvents (such as paint thinner or benzene) for cleaning, since they may
L
mar the surface of the band.
<When equipped with Natural Light>
"Natural Light" is a paint that uses a substance that emits no hazardous radiation at all,
L
and is not harmful to human beings or to the environment. It emits light stored during
exposure to daylight or artificial light.
However, the brightness of the light will diminish as the watch remains in darkness. In
addition, depending on the brightness of the daytime light source and the distance
between the watch and the light source, the length of time the watch emits light will
vary.
Note that if the light stored in the watch is insufficient, the watch may not emit much
light or will lose brightness quickly.
