corrosion to form inside.
• If seawater enters the watch, place the watch in a box or plastic bag and immedi-
ately take it in for repair. Otherwise, pressure inside the watch will increase, and
parts (crystal, crown, buttons, etc.) may come off.
CAUTION: Keep your watch clean.
• Leaving dust and dirt deposited between the case and crown may result in diffi-
culty in pulling the crown out. Rotate the crown while in its normal position
from time to time to loosen dust and dirt and then brush it off.
• Dust and dirt tend to be deposited in gaps in the back of the case or band. Depos-
ited dust and dirt may cause corrosion and soil your clothing. Clean the watch
occasionally.
Cleaning the Watch
• Use a soft cloth to wipe off dirt, perspiration and water from the case and crystal.
• Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe off perspiration and dirt from the leather band.
• To clean a metal, plastic, or rubber watchband, wash away dirt with water. Use a
soft brush to remove dust and dirt jammed in the gaps in the metal band.
NOTE: Avoid using solvents (thinner, benzine, etc.), as they may mar the finish.
• Water-resistance for daily use (to 3 atmospheres): This type of watch is water-
resistant to minor exposure to water. For example, you may wear the watch
while washing your face; however, it is not designed for use underwater.
• Upgraded water-resistance for daily use (to 5 atmospheres): This type of watch
is water-resistant to moderate exposure to water. You may wear the watch while
swimming; however, it is not designed for use while skin diving.
• Upgraded water-resistance for daily use (to 10/20 atmospheres): This type of
watch may be used for skin diving; however, it is not designed for scuba or
saturated diving using helium gas.
CAUTION:
• Be sure to use the watch with the crown pressed in (normal position). If your
watch has a screw-type crown, be sure to tighten the crown completely.
• Do NOT operate the crown or buttons with wet fingers or when the watch is wet.
Water may enter the watch and compromise water-resistance.
• If the watch is used in seawater, rinse with fresh water afterward and wipe with
a dry cloth.
• If moisture has entered the watch, or if the inside of the crystal is fogged up and
does not become clear within a day, immediately take the watch to your dealer
or Citizen Service Center for repair. Leaving the watch in such a state will allow
