4. Change of Address or Receiving as a Gift
In the event that you have moved or have received your watch as a gift,
and are not able to bring your watch to the shop where it was purchased
for servicing, please consult MB Service Center.
5. Periodic Inspection(Charge basis)
• Water resistance
As the water resistance will be reduced over time, you should have your
watch inspected and its water resistance verified every 2-3 years (charge
basis) to extend its life and ensure safety. To maintain its water resistance,
it is recommended to request us to replace the packings and other parts of
your watch.
• Disassembling for internal cleaning (repair)
You should have your watch disassembled and its internal components
cleaned periodically to extend its life. Lubrication oils are used to reduce
wearing of moving parts such as gears. However, over time the lubrication

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.
• Do NOT wear your watch while in a sauna or other location where your watch may become excessively hot,
since there is the risk of burns.
• Be careful when putting on and taking off your watch, since there is a risk of damaging your fingernails,
depending on the manner in which the band is fastened.
• Take off your watch before going to bed.
WARNING
Handling of the Battery
• Keep the battery out of the reach of small children.
• In the event a battery is swallowed, immediately consult a physician.
• Do not dispose of the battery with ordinary garbage. Please follow your local government disposal regulations
to prevent the risk of fire or environmental contaminations.
CAUTION
Battery Replacement
• If a depleted battery is left in your watch, damage may be caused by leakage of battery fluid.
Be sure to replace the battery promptly.
• Always be sure to select a battery of the correct specifications when replacing the battery.
CAUTION
Precautions
• Always use the watch with the crown pushed in (normal position). If the crown is of the screw lock-type,
make sure it is securely locked.
• Do NOT operate the crown or any push buttons when the watch is wet. Water may enter the watch causing
damage to vital components.
• If water enters the watch or the watch fogs up and does not clear up even after a long time, consult your
dealer or MB Service Center for inspection and/or repair.
• Even if your watch has a high level of water resistance, please be careful of the following.
- If your watch is immersed in sea water, rinse thoroughly with fresh water and wipe with a dry cloth.
- Do not pour water from a tap directly onto your watch.
- Take off your watch before taking a bath.
• If seawater enters the watch, place the watch in a box or plastic bag and immediately take it in for repair.
Otherwise, pressure inside the watch will increase, and parts (crystal, crown, push button, etc.) may come off.
CAUTION
When Wearing Your Watch
<Band>
• Leather, genuine skin and rubber (urethane) bands will deteriorate over time due to perspiration, body oils
and dirt. Be sure 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.
• It is recommended to take off the watch if it gets wet, even if the watch itself is water resistant.
• Do not wear the band too tightly. Try to leave enough space between the band and your skin to allow
adequate ventilation.
• The rubber (urethane) band may be stained by dyes or soil present in or on clothing or other accessories.
Since these stains may not be removable, caution is required when wearing your watch with items that tend to
easily transfer color (articles of clothing, purses, etc.). In addition, the band may be deteriorated by solvents or
moisture in the air. Replace with a new one when it has lost elasticity or become cracked.
• Please request adjustment or repair of the band in the following cases:
- You notice an abnormality with the band due to corrosion.
- The pin of the band is protruding.
• 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 your nearest authorized MB service center.
<Temperature>
• The watch may stop or the function of the watch may be impaired in extremely high or low temperature.
<Magnetism>
• Analog quartz watches are powered by a step motor that uses a magnet. Subjecting the watch to strong
magnetism from the outside can cause the motor to operate improperly and prevent the watch from keeping
time accurately. Do not allow the watch to come into close proximity to magnetic health devices (magnetic
necklaces, magnetic elastic bands, etc.) or the magnets used in the latches of refrigerator doors, clasps used in
handbags, the speaker of a cell phone, electromagnetic cooking devices and so on.
oils will degrade and wear will increase, eventually resulting in
malfunction. Please have your watch undergo internal cleaning once
every 5 years as a guide.
6. Batteries
* The battery which was installed in your watch at the factory is a
monitor-use battery which monitors the functions and special
features of your watch. You should keep in mind that the life of
your battery could be shorter than the specified period is up.
* Even in the event that the battery runs out before the time specified
in the guarantee, there will be a fee for replacing the battery.
7. Other Inquiries
If you have any questions regarding the warranty, repairs or other
matters, please inquire at the shop where you purchased MB Service
Center.

<Strong Shock>
• Avoid dropping the watch or subjecting it to other strong impact. It may cause malfunctions and/ or
performance deterioration as well as damage to the case and bracelet.
<Static Electricity>
• The integrated circuits (IC) used in quartz watches are sensitive to static electricity. Please note that the watch
may operate erratically or not at all if exposed to intense static electricity.
<Chemicals, Corrosive Gasses and Mercury>
• If paint thinner, benzene or other solvents or products containing these solvents (including gasoline,
nail-polish remover, cresol, bathroom cleaners and adhesives, water repellent, etc.) are allowed to come into
contact with the watch, they may discolor, dissolve or crack the materials. Be careful when handling these
chemicals. Contact with mercury such as that used in thermometers may also cause discoloration of the band
and case.
<Protective Stickers>
• Be sure to remove any protective stickers that may be on your watch (case back, band, clasp, etc.). Otherwise,
perspiration or moisture may enter the gaps between the protective stickers and the parts, which may result in
a skin rash and/or corrosion of the metal parts.
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. If you think there is something wrong,
discontinue wearing the watch immediately and consult your physician. In the case of accumulation of sweat
or dirt on a metal band or case, clean thoroughly using a brush and neutral detergent. In the case of a leather
band, wipe clean using a dry cloth.
• Leather bands may become discolored by perspiration or dirt. Always keep your leather band clean by wiping
with a dry cloth.
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 (urethane) 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.
• For a leather band, wipe off dirt using a dry cloth.
• 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.
When Luminous Paint is used for your watch
The paint on the dial and hands helps you with reading the time in a dark place. The luminous paint stores
light (daylight or artificial light) 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.
