OUTLINE
This series of movements (C020, C021, C023, C026, C027, C029), are the
worlds first multifunctional movement used in a dive watch that has an
electronic water-depth meter built into it. It can resist water to 20 bar,
or 666 feet.

USE OF THIS WATCH
Notes on Use
•
The water dept meter was originally designed for use in Sea water.
Therefore, then it is used in a lake or in fresh water, the displayed
value is slightly different from that in sea water. (Specific gravity
of Sea Water is 1.025)
•
To ensure water-resistance at a depth of 200 meters (666 feet), be
sure to replace the gaskets, including push button gaskets and have
the watch water tested at least at each battery change. If you use the
watch in salt or chlorinated water, more frequent changes may be
necessary.
•
This watch CANNOT be used as a substitute for an accompanying dive
instrument or as a preventative measure against water hazards
•
Do not use the dive meter in the following environments
i. Where the altitude is more than 3,000 meters (10,000 feet)
ii. Where there is a substantial change in atmospheric pressure or
temperature after changing over to the dive meter system mode,
depth display may show more than 1 meter (3 feet) even while on
the ground. IN this case, the dive meter system mode will not
change over to any other mode. To obtain proper operation of the
watch, set the time display and dive meter systems once again by
pushing the (R), (S) and (M) buttons at the same time.
iii. Where temperature is beyond the +10
o
C (+50
o
F) to +40
o
C (+104
o
F)
When the watch is used in the above mentioned environments, the
depth meter mode may be over 1m (3ft) even while on the ground.
In these cases, return the watch back to the effective operating
temperature ranges.
•
If the depth meter mode returns to 0m (0ft), the display is found in
the maximum depth and dive time memory
Accordingly, if it is feared that the depth meter will return to 0m
(0ft), summon the maximum depth memory mode immediately before diving
and then summon the depth meter mode.
•
Of the depth meter mode does not return to 0m (0ft) a substantial
temperature change is thought to have taken place. In this case, refer
to the preceding item iii.
* These phenomena are not deemed are problems. If the above
instructions are observed with the users environments in mind, correct
measurement of depth is possible.
Notes on Diving
Before
Dive
•
Make sure that the colon (:) on the time display in the digital
section does not flicker on and off
*before diving, be sure to check when to replace the power cells.
•
Make sure that the crown has been firmly screwed in place
•
Make sure that there are not cuts, cracks or scratched on the crystal
•
Make sure the band is in good condition, and not cracked or worn out.
•
To get more accuracy in depth measurement, check the cell on the dive
meter system after dipping the watch in water for 2 minutes. If there
is s big temperature difference between the surface and water
temperatures, be sure to change over to the dive meter system on the
surface. (If changing over in the water at big temperature
differences, accuracy may be affected.)
•
When the depth meter mode is shown, make sure that the display is
correct.
