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 authorized 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 bands and rubber (urethane) bands will deteriorate over time due to perspiration dirt.
Because of the natural materials, leather band will be worn, deformed, and discolored over time. It is
recommended 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.
• Do not stain a leather band with substances containing volatile materials, bleach, alcohol (including
cosmetics). Discoloration and premature aging may be occurred. Ultraviolet light such as direct
sunlight may cause discoloration or deformation.
• 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.
