TO PRESERVE THE QUALITY OF YOUR WATCH

Daily care

The watch requires good daily care

○ Do not wash the watch when its crown is at the extended position.

○ Wipe away moisture, sweat or dirt with a soft cloth.

○ After soaking the watch in seawater, be sure to wash the watch in clean pure water and

wipe it dry carefully. Do not pour running water directly from a faucet onto the watch. Put

some water into a bowl first, and then soak the watch in the water to wash it.

 * If your watch is rated as “non-water resistant” or “water resistant for daily use”, do not wash

the watch.

“CHECK THE CALIBER NUMBER AND WATER-RESISTANT LEVEL”→ P. 9

Turn the crown from time to time

○ In order to prevent corrosion of the crown, turn the crown from time to time.

○ The same practice should be applied to a screw down crown.
