• 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 or button, be sure to tighten the crown completely.
• Do NOT operate the crown or button 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 corrosion to form inside.
• If seawater enters the watch, place the watch in a box or plastic bag and immediately 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 difficulty 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. Deposited 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 damage the finish.
