4) NEVER WEAR your watch into a hot tub or sauna. Extreme heat and
pressure may cause your watch to lose its water resistance.
1) After you use a 5, 10, 15, or 20 ATM water-resistant watch in a
bathing place, remove salt, etc. as soon as possible. If not, the watch
may be rusted. If you rinse the watch under running water, excessive
water pressure applies to the watch, this causing a failure in its water
resistance. Always rinse the watch in a pot or bowl and be careful not
to apply excessive water pressure to the watch.
2) If a leather band gets wet, its durability may be a ected.
3) Water resistance is not permanent. In the course of time, as your case
becomes worn, the water resistance of the watch may decrease.
PLACE TO KEEP YOUR WATCH

any of the following cases:
1) If the watch is exposed to a temperature below -5°C or above +50°C
for a long time, its performance may be impaired or it may stop
operating.
2) If the watch is exposed to direct sunlight, high temperature or low
temperature for a long time, it may gain or lose time.
3) If the watch is exposed to magnetic leakage from TV sets, speakers,
