How to use the diver adjuster

If your watch's metal bracelet has the Diver Adjuster function, the length of
the bracelet can be easily adjusted.
It is very useful when you wear the watch over a wet suit or winter clothing.

Lift up the flap approximately 90°until it

stands upright, and then press the ﬂ ap down
further approximately 20°and lightly hold it.

・ When doing so, take care not to push the

flap forcibly. Although you may feel slight
resistance, doing this requires only a light force.

Lightly pull the bracelet on the 6 o'clock side of the watch
along the curved line of the bracelet to pull out the slider.

・ Doing this requires only a light force. Take

care not to pull the bracelet forcibly.

・ The slider can be pulled out approximately

30mm. Take care not to pull it out of the limit.

● Leather band

・ A leather band is susceptible to discoloration and deterioration from moisture, sweat and direct sunlight.
・ Wipe oﬀ moisture and sweat as soon as possible by gently blotting them up with a dry cloth.
・ Do not expose the watch to direct sunlight for a long time.
・ Please take care when wearing a watch with light-colored band, as dirt is likely to show up.
・ Refrain from wearing a leather band watch other than Aqua Free bands while

bathing, swimming, and when working with water even if the watch itself is

water-resistant enforced for daily use （10- or 20-BAR water resistant）.

● Polyurethane band

・A polyurethane band is susceptible to discoloration from light, and may be deteriorated by solvent or atmospheric humidity.

・ Especially a translucent, white, or pale colored band easily adsorbs other colors, resulting in color smears or discoloration.
・ Wash out dirt in water and clean it oﬀ with a dry cloth.

（Protect the watch body from water splashes by wrapping it up in plastic wrap etc.）

・ When the band becomes less ﬂ exible, have the band replaced with a new one. If you continue

to use the band as it is, the band may develop cracks or become brittle over time.

Notes on skin
irritation and allergy

Skin irritation caused by a band has various reasons such as allergy
to metals or leathers, or skin reactions against friction on dust or
the band itself.

Adjust the band to allow a little clearance with your wrist to
ensure proper airﬂ ow. When wearing the watch, leave enough
room to insert a ﬁ nger between the band and your wrist.

The band touches the skin directly and becomes dirty with sweat or dust.
Therefore, lack of care may accelerate deterioration of the band or cause
skin irritation or stain on the sleeve edge. The watch requires a lot of
attention for long usage.

● Metallic band

・ Moisture, sweat or soil will cause rust even on a stainless steel band if they are left for a long time.
・ Lack of care may cause a yellowish or gold stain on the lower sleeve edge of shirts.
・ Wipe oﬀ moisture, sweat or soil with a soft cloth as soon as possible
・ To clean the soil around the joint gaps of the band, wipe it out in water and then brush it oﬀ with a

soft toothbrush.

（Protect the watch body from water splashes by wrapping it up in plastic wrap etc.）
・ Because some titan bracelets use pins made of stainless steel, which has outstanding strength,

rust may form in the stainless steel parts.

・ If rust advances, pins may poke out or drop out, and the watch case may fall oﬀ the bracelet, or the

clasp may not open.

・ If a pin is poking out, personal injury may result. In such a case, refrain from using the watch and

request repair.
