CAUTIONS ON WATER RESISTANCE

○ While diving

Wear the watch within the water depth

indicated on the dial.

Do not operate the crown or buttons

underwater.

Take care not to bump the watch against hard

objects such as rocks.

Bezel rotation may become slightly harder

underwater, but this is not a malfunction.

Rinse the watch in fresh water and wipe it thoroughly dry.

Do not pour running water directly from a faucet onto the watch. Soak the watch in a container

filled with water to wash it.
