| Dial Indication | Case (Case back) | Specification | Minor exposure to water (washing face, rain, etc.) | Moderate exposure to water (washing, kitchen work, swimming, etc.) | Marine sports (skin diving) | Scuba diving (with air tank) | Operation of the crown or button with moisture visible |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WATER RESIST or no indication | WATER RESIST(ANT) | Water-resistant to 3 atmospheres | OK | NO | NO | NO | NO |
| WR 50 or WATER RESIST 50 | WATER RESIST(ANT) 5 bar or WATER RESIST(ANT) | Water-resistant to 5 atmospheres | OK | OK | NO | NO | NO |
| WR 100/200 or WATER RESIST 100/200 | WATER RESIST(ANT) 10bar/20 bar or WATER RESIST(ANT) | Water-resistant to 10/20 atmospheres | OK | OK | OK | NO | NO |
Note: The unit "bar" is approximately equal to 1 atmosphere. "WATER RESIST(ANT) xx bar" may also be indicated as "W.R. xx bar". For correct use, confirm your watch's water resistance level on the dial/case and consult the table.
CAUTION: Keep your watch clean.
- Regularly rotate the crown to loosen dust and dirt deposited between the case and crown. Brush off any dust.
- Clean dust and dirt from gaps in the back of the case or band to prevent corrosion and staining.
Cleaning the Watch:

- Use a soft, dry cloth for leather bands.
- For metal, plastic, or rubber bands, wash with mild soap and water, using a soft brush for gaps. If not water-resistant, consult your dealer.
- Avoid solvents (thinner, benzine) as they can damage the finish.
WARNING: Handling of the battery
- Keep batteries out of reach of children. If swallowed, seek immediate medical attention.
CAUTION: Replacing the battery
- For battery replacement, contact your dealer or Citizen Service Center.
