Insufficient Charging Warning Feature
Regardless of the display of the watch at the time,
when the watch becomes insufficiently charged, the
watch changes to the time display and the second
hand moves to the charge position to inform the
wearer that it is insufficiently charged. After the
second hand moves to the charge position, the
watch changes to the time display in the order of the
24 hour hand, hour hand, minute hand and date
wheel (function hand). Although the watch continues
to keep time accurately at this time, the watch stops
after about five days have elapsed (roughly two
days in the case of the hands have been moved to
switch the time when the insufficient charging
warning feature is activated). When this happens,
charge the watch by exposing to light so that it

returns to one-second interval
movement. However, since the time
is incorrect when the watch is
exposed to light and changes to the
insufficient charging warning display

after it has stopped due to the insufficient charging,
set the time after sufficiently charging the watch.
Notes: 
• Chronograph measurement stops and the

chronograph is reset even when measurement is
in progress.

• Set the time (time difference) is retained for the

local time.

• The alarm will not sound even if it is set.
• Crown (mode switching) and button operations will

not function.

Time Setting Warning Feature
When the watch is recharged by exposing to light
after it has stopped, the second hand moves to the
SET position to inform the wearer that the time is
incorrect. Although the 24 hour hand, hour hand and
minute hand will begin to move after the second
hand moves to the SET position, since the time is
incorrect, reset the time and date after sufficiently
charging the watch.
