Orient Watch User Manual and Specifications
Water Resistance
Orient watches are designed with varying degrees of water resistance:
- 50M (5 bar) Water Resistant: Suitable for everyday use, splashes, and rain. Not recommended for swimming or diving.
- 100M (10 bar), 150M (15 bar), 200M (20 bar) Water Resistant: Suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and certain water sports. Specific limitations apply for diving activities.
[Note:] To maintain water resistance, ensure the crown is pushed in or screwed down. Avoid operating buttons while the watch is submerged.
Operating Instructions and Precautions
- For 30-meter (3 bar) water resistance, avoid contact with water and do not operate buttons underwater.
- For 50-meter (5 bar) water resistance, avoid prolonged immersion in water.
- For 100-meter to 200-meter (10-20 bar) water resistance, suitable for swimming and water sports, but not for scuba diving.
