designed for scuba diving or saturation diving, have not been conducted on the water resistant watch with the BAR
(barometric pressure) display. For diving, use watches specifically designed for diving.
CAUTION
Do not pour running water directly from faucet. The water pressure of tap water from a faucet is
high enough to degrade the water resistant performance of a water resistant watch for everyday life.
Mechanical watch characteristics (Hand-wound, auto-wound)
This is a mechanical watch powered by a spring.
To use it from a stopped state, turn the crown 20 turns by hand to wind up the spring before starting the watch.
Although the accuracy of quartz watches is measured in differences over months or years, in mechanical
watches it is measured in differences per day (i.e., the amount the watch speeds up or slows down in a single
day).
Additionally, mechanical watches are subtly affected by the conditions in which they are used (e.g., duration
worn, temperature, arm movement, the amount wound, etc.) ; thus, the amount of error is not constant.
When affected by a strong magnetism from outside, a mechanical watch may lose/gain time temporarily. The
parts of the watch may become magnetized depending on the extent of the effect. In such a case, consult the
retailer from whom the watch was purchased since the watch requires repair including demagnetizing.
