To Preserve the Quality of Your Watch

Water Resistance

• Non-water resistant: If "WATER RESISTANT" is not inscribed on the case back. Avoid moisture.
• Water resistance (3 bar): With "WATER RESISTANT" inscribed. Withstands splashes/rain, not for swimming/diving.
• Water resistance (5 bar): With "WATER RESISTANT 5 BAR" inscribed. Suitable for swimming, yachting, shower.
• Water resistance (10 bar/15 bar/20 bar): With corresponding inscriptions. Suitable for bath, shallow diving, not scuba diving.

Important Notes for Water Use:

• Ensure crown is pushed in completely before water use.
• Do not operate crown when watch is wet or in water.
• Rinse in fresh water and dry completely after use in sea water.
• When showering (5 bar) or bathing (10/15/20 bar), do not operate crown when wet. Warm water may cause slight time deviation, corrected when watch returns to normal temperature.

NOTE on Pressure: Bar ratings are test pressures, not actual diving depths.

Temperatures

• Optimal accuracy: 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F).
• High temperatures (>50°C / 122°F) may cause battery leakage or shorten life.
• Low temperatures (<-5°C / 23°F) may cause slight time loss/gain, corrected when watch returns to normal temperature.
