2. Directional rotating bezel
(Northern hemisphere)
If your watch is provided
with a compass bezel:
The compass feature on
this watch is based on the
position of the sun. This
compass should only be
used as an approximate
direction finder. Changes
in laitude and the seasons
may also cause directional
misreadings.
One of the features of this watch is a directional
rotating bezel for use in the Northern Hemisphere.
By aligning the hour hand with the position of the
sun in the sky, the point halfway between this
position and 12 o’clock will be south. Align the “S”
mark on the rotating bezel with this halfway point to
determine all other points of the compass.
13. Precautions and Long Term Use
1. Water resistance
Check the chart to determine the water-resistant
properties of this watch.
* Always set the crown in the normal position.
WATER RESISTANT may sometimes be
abbreviated as WATER RESIST.
2. Avoid extreme temperatures
Avoid leaving your watch in extremely warm or
cold locations for a long period of time.
3. Avoid strong shocks
4. Avoid strong magnetic fields
5. Avoid chemicals and corrosive gases
Avoid wearing this watch in the presence of
chemicals and corrosive gases. If mercury or any
chemical (such as fuel gasoline, thinner, alcohol,
spray liquids of cosmetics or the like), makes
contact with the watch, discolouration, deterioration
or damage to the case, band or other components
may occur.
6. Avoid static electricity
The intergrated circuits used in this watch are
sensitive to static electricity. If exposed to intense
static electricity, the watch’s display may lose it’s
accuracy.
7. Keep the watch clean
It may become difficult to pull the crown out due
to dirt and dust getting caught between the crown
and the case when the watch is worn for long
periods of time. To prevent this from happening,
turn the crown freely back and forth occasionally
while it is in the normal position. Any dirt left on the
case or band may cause skin rash. A watchband
will easily become soiled with dust and
perspiration because it is in direct contact with
the skin. Even a stainless or gold-plated band
may begin to corrode if it has not been cleaned
for a long period of time.
8. Periodic Inspection
Getting your watch checked once every two or
three years is recommended to ensure long use
and trouble-free operation.
9. Be sure to keep the battery away from infants
or small children:
Should accidental ingestion occur, consult a
doctor at once.
