Band adjustment
We recommend seeking the assistance of an experienced watch technician for sizing
of your watch. If adjustment is not done correctly, the bracelet may unexpectedly
become detached leading to loss of your watch or injury (excluding products
containing the band adjustment tool).
Consult an authorized service center. Other shops may charge for, or may not
provide, the service.
Protective stickers
Be sure to remove any protective stickers that may be on your watch (case back,
band, clasp, etc.). Otherwise, perspiration or moisture may enter the gaps between
the protective stickers and the parts, which may result in a skin rash and/or
corrosion of the metal parts.

• A solar cell is placed under the dial.
About the Northern hemisphere dial
• A map of the Northern hemisphere, which centers the north pole, is shown on the
dial.
• Synchronized with the watch, the dial turns fully around counterclockwise once a
day.
• You cannot adjust the dial separately.
• The arrow on the dial always indicates UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).
• You can find approximate times of places on the Northern hemisphere by using
the dial. For example, when the dial turns to the position as shown below,
approximate times of places are read as follows:
Point A (London): about 1:00 AM
Point B (Tokyo): about 10:00 AM
Point C (New York): about 8:00 PM
* Use the time read through the Northern hemisphere dial only as reference. The actual
time of a place depends on its time zone and if summer time is implemented there or
not. Some borders of time zones match meridians and/or national borders, others do not
because of historical, political or other practical reasons. Actual borders of time zones are in
many cases determined by national governments and/or with international agreements. In
addition, clocks are set forward in a certain period to utilize daylight fully in countries and
areas where summer time is implemented.
