NOTES FOR USING THE WATCH
● If the watch is used without being wound up sufficiently, gain or loss of the watch may result. To avoid
this, wear the watch for more than 8 hours a day.
HOW TO START THE WATCH
TIME/CALENDER SETTING
● Do not set the day between 9:00 p.m. and 4:00 a.m. Do not set the date between 9:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m.
Otherwise, it may not change properly.
If it is necessary to set the date during that time period, first change the time to any time outside it, set
the date and then reset the correct time.
● To set the exact time, pull out the crown to the second click when the second hand is at the 12 o’clock
position and push it back in to the normal position in accordance with a time signal.
● When setting the hour hand, check that AM/PM is correctly set.
The watch is so designed that the date changes once in 24 hours. Turn the hands past the 12 o’clock
marker to determine whether the watch is set for the A.M. or P.M. period. If the date changes, the time
is set for the A.M. period. If the date does not change, the time is set for the P.M. period.
● When setting the hands, first set them to a time a few minutes earlier than the correct time, and then
advance them to the exact time.
● It is necessary to adjust the date at the end of February and 30-day months.
ROTATING BEZEL
● For safety’s sake, the rotating bezel rotates only counterclockwise, so that the time measured is never
shorter than the actual elapsed time.
