Precautions

Strictly follow the instructions below to prevent any damage to health and property of yourself and others.

Handling Your Watch

Water Resistance

* It is recommended to use the watch carefully, following the operating instructions above. Before use, check for water resistance markings on the dial or case back.

Water Resistance Details

⚠️ WARNING

1. Watches with water resistance for everyday use of 30 M (3 bar) can be used for washing, etc., but not in conditions where they will be submerged in water.
2. Watches with enhanced water resistance for everyday use Class I of 50 M (5 bar) can be used for swimming, etc., but not for diving or underwater swimming.
3. Watches with enhanced water resistance for everyday use Class II of 100 M or 200 M (10 or 20 bar) can be used for diving or underwater swimming, but not for scuba diving or helium-based diving operations.

⚠️ CAUTION

4. During operation, the crown must be in the recessed (normal) position. If the crown is of the screw-down type, it must be tightly screwed down.
5. Do not use the crown underwater or if the watch is wet. Water may penetrate the watch case and compromise its water resistance.
6. If your watch is not water-resistant, avoid splashing water on it (during washing, in rainy weather, etc.), as well as condensation. If water gets on the watch or condensation forms, wipe off moisture with a dry soft cloth.
7. Even if your watch is designed for everyday use and is water-resistant, avoid exposure to strong jets of water. Exceeding the permissible water pressure level may compromise the watch's water resistance.
8. If seawater gets on your water-resistant watch for everyday use, shake off the water and wipe the case dry to prevent corrosion or other negative consequences.
9. There is a small amount of moisture inside the watch case. Therefore, when the ambient air temperature is lower than the temperature inside the watch case, condensation may form on the inner surface of the glass. If the condensation is temporary, it does not harm the watch. However, if condensation remains on the glass for a prolonged period or if water has entered the watch, consult the place of purchase and do not ignore this problem.

Protection Against External Factors

(2) Shock Resistance

1. Remove your watch during strenuous sports activities; however, sports like golf, etc., will not negatively affect the watch's condition.
2. Avoid strong impacts such as dropping the watch on the floor.

(3) Magnetic Field Exposure

1. Do not expose the watch to strong magnetic fields for extended periods, as watch components may become magnetized, leading to malfunction. Exercise caution.
2. Under the influence of a magnetic field, the watch may temporarily gain or lose time. Accuracy will be restored once the magnetic field is removed. In such cases, reset the time.

(4) Vibration

The watch may lose accuracy if exposed to strong vibrations, such as those caused by riding a motorcycle, using a jackhammer, chainsaw, etc.

(5) Temperature

The watch may run incorrectly or stop at temperatures below or above the normal range (5°C – 35°C).

⚠️ CAUTION

Do not use the watch at high temperatures (e.g., in a sauna). The watch may become hot and cause burns.

(6) Chemical Substances, Gases, etc.

Exercise maximum caution when in contact with gases, mercury, chemical substances (paint thinner, gasoline, various solvents, cleaning agents containing such substances, adhesives, paints, medications, perfumes, cosmetics, etc.). These substances may change the color of the watch case, bracelet/strap, and dial. Color changes, deformation, and damage to polymer components are also possible.

Additional Details

(7) Small Parts

⚠️ WARNING

Do not give bracelet/strap pins and other small parts to children. If a small part is swallowed, seek medical attention immediately.

(8) Allergic Reactions

⚠️ CAUTION

If pain, rash, or irritation appears on the skin after contact with the bracelet, stop wearing the watch and seek medical attention immediately.

(9) Luminescent Coating

The hands and dial markers have a luminescent coating. It is made of safe, non-radioactive paint that absorbs sunlight and artificial light and emits it in the dark. As it emits stored light, the coating gradually becomes dimmer. The amount of light emitted and the duration of luminescence depend on various factors: the shape of the glass, the thickness of the paint layer, the ambient brightness level, the distance from the watch to the light source, and the degree of light absorption. Remember that if little light is absorbed, the watch will glow dimly or for a short time.

(10) Waterproof Strap

Some models use leather and nylon straps that have undergone special treatment for protection against sweat and water. The waterproof property of this strap may be lost depending on the period and conditions of use.

Identifying Caliber and Model Numbers

Check your watch's caliber number using the watch model number or the case code on the back of the watch case.

1. Finding the 10-digit Model Number

Check the 10-digit model number on the warranty card included with the watch. You can also find the number on the product label attached to the watch. The second and third characters of the number indicate your watch's caliber number.

Example: If the model number is "CUB8A002B0", the caliber number is "UB".

2. Finding the Case Code

Find the case code on the back of your watch case.

A: If the case code is six digits, the first two digits correspond to the caliber number.

B: If the case code is 8 or 9 digits, the first three digits correspond to the movement number. The table below shows the correspondence between caliber numbers and movement numbers.

Example A

Description: Image of a watch case back showing "ORIENT", "KY UB8A-Q0 CS", "WATER RESISTANT", "ALL STAINLESS STEEL", "ORIENT WATCH CO.,LTD.", "000000". The label "Код корпуса" (Case code) points to "UB8A-Q0".

Example B

Description: Image of a watch case back showing "ORIENT CO.,LTD.", "WATER RESISTANT", "WL HM50A7B-4 CA 000000". The label "Код корпуса" (Case code) points to "HM50A7B-4".

Example A: If the case code is "UB8A-Q0", the caliber number is "UB".

Example B: If the case code is "HM50A7B-4", the movement number is "HM5". In the table, this corresponds to caliber number "UB".

* Depending on the watch's characteristics, the location of the case code may vary, its characters may be small, and it may be difficult to distinguish.

* Illustrations in this manual may differ from your actual watch, but functions and operating procedures remain unchanged.

Description: Diagram showing a three-hand watch face with labels A (Hour hand), B (Minute hand), C (Second hand), D (Crown), and E (Dial).

* The position of the crown may differ on some models.

Models with Screw-Down Crown

On some models, you cannot pull out the crown without unscrewing it (models with a screw-down crown).

For operating these types of watches:

1. Before setting the time, turn the crown counter-clockwise to unlock the screw.
2. After setting the time, push the crown in and turn it clockwise until it stops to lock the screw.

Setting the Time

1. When the second hand reaches the 0-second position (12 o'clock), pull out the crown. The second hand will stop.
2. * If the watch has only two hands, the crown can be pulled out at any time since there is no second hand.
3. Turn the crown to set the time. To set the time accurately, set the minute hand 4-5 minutes past the desired time, then move it back to the correct position.
4. Push the crown in to return it to its original (unlocked) position.

Description: Diagram showing the crown being pulled out, with an arrow indicating to turn it counter-clockwise. Another diagram shows the crown being pushed in, with an arrow indicating to turn it clockwise.

Using the Rotating Bezel

Note that some models are equipped with a rotating bezel that should be used properly.

Rotate the bezel so that the mark aligns with the minute hand. As a specific time passes, you can measure the elapsed time by the distance between the minute hand and the numbers on the rotating bezel. You can also set the mark to a desired time to remind yourself of the remaining time until a scheduled event.

Description: Diagram of a watch face with a rotating bezel. The bezel has markings like 0, 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50. A rotating bezel is shown with a mark aligned with the minute hand. An arrow indicates "Elapsed time".

The bezel cannot be rotated in the opposite direction because it is equipped with a protective mechanism designed to prevent accidental operation due to force or impact. The numbers on the rotating bezel can also simplify reading the current time.

* Depending on the design, the reverse rotation lock and the 1-minute "click" may not be present on some models.
