IN HANDLING THE WATCH
WARNING
(1) Water-resistance
ENGLISH
1 This watch is water-resistant up to 200 m for use in air diving.
* This watch can only be used in air diving; please be aware that it cannot
be used in saturation diving (using helium gas).
2 The crown is a screwed-down type. Always tighten the crown securely
when using this watch. If the crown is not securely tightened, water
resistance cannot be guaranteed.
3 Do not operate the crown while in water or there is water on the watch.
Water will penetrate the watch. If the crown is loose, water may enter the
watch and cause a malfunction.
4 There is a small amount of humidity inside the watch. If external
temperature is lower than inside the watch, the glass may fog. Temporary
fogging will not damage the internal mechanism but if it remains for a long
time or if there is moisture inside the watch, consult the shop where you
purchased the watch or the nearest ORIENT WATCH Service Center.
(2) Precautions before diving
Make sure to do the following before you dive.
1 Check that the watch is fully wound.
(If not, wind the mainspring by swinging the watch for at least 30 seconds.)
See the description of the AUTOMATIC WINDING MECHANISM (WITH
HAND WINDING MECHANISM) on page 26 and
INDICATOR on page 29.
2 Make sure the watch shows the correct time.
3 Check that the rotating bezel can be turned normally. If it can be turned
counterclockwise, the rotation direction is normal.
4 Check that the screwed-down type crown is securely tightened.
5 Make sure that there are no cracks or chips in the glass or bracelet/strap.
POWER RESERVE

6 Make sure that there are no abnormalities in the bracelet/strap links
(spring bar and buckle).
* If there are any abnormalities, stop using the watch and contact the
ORIENT WATCH Service Center.
(3) Precautions during diving
1 Do not operate the crown while in the water.
2 The rotating bezel may be hard to operate under water due to water
pressure. (This is not a malfunction.)
3 Do not subject the watch to shocks, such as banging on rocks.
(4) Precautions after diving
1 Do not operate the crown while there is water on the surface of the
watch.
2 To remove salt water from the case or bracelet/strap, first make sure the
crown is securely tightened. Then, rinse it with fresh water to prevent
rusting.
After rinsing, wipe with a soft dry cloth to remove any moisture. Be
especially careful to wipe off the bezel and the bracelet/strap connecting
section (spring bar and buckle).
(5) Shock
1 Be sure not to carry the watch when you engage in strenuous
sports, whereas playing such light sports as golf, etc., will not
adversely influence the watch.
2 Avoid a violent shock such as dropping the watch on the
floor.
(6) Magnetism
1 If the watch is left at a location with strong magnetism for an extended
period of time, the components may be magnetized, resulting in
malfunction. Be careful.
2 The watch may temporarily speed up or slow down when exposed to
magnetism. Precision is restored when placed away from magnetism. In
such a case, reset the time.

ENGLISH
(7) Vibration
The watch may lose precision if subjected to strong
vibrations such as from riding motorcycles, using
jackhammers, chain saws, etc.
(8) Temperature
ENGLISH
In environments below and above normal temperatures (5°C-35°C), the
watch may malfunction and stop.
CAUTION
Do not use the watch at high temperatures, such as in a sauna. The watch
may heat and cause burns.
(9) Chemicals, Gases, etc.
Utmost caution must be exercised when coming into contact with gases,
mercury, chemicals (paint thinner, gasoline, various solvents, detergents
containing such components, adhesives, paint, drugs, perfumes,
cosmetics, etc.), and so forth. Such may cause discoloration of the
watchcase, watchband, and dial face. Discoloration, deformation, and
damage to various resin-based component parts may also occur.
(10) About the Product and Accessory Parts
CAUTION
Do not attempt to disassemble or modify this product.
WARNING
Store the bracelet/strap pin and other small parts out of the reach of
children. If any small parts are swallowed, immediately contact a doctor.
22
(11) Allergic reactions
CAUTION
If you develop a skin rash or your skin becomes abnormally irritated due
to contact with the watch or strap, stop wearing the watch immediately
and consult a doctor.
(12) About “luminous light”
This watch has luminous light on the hands and dial.
The luminous light is a safe paint that stores sunlight and artificial light
without using any radioactive material, and emits that light in a dark
setting. As the paint discharges the stored light, it will become dimmer
over time. The amount of light emitted and the time that light is emitted
depends on various factors when the light is stored, such as the shape
of the glass, the thickness of the paint, surrounding brightness level, the
distance from the watch to the light source, and the light absorption level.
Please note that when not enough light energy is stored, the watch may
emit weak light or emit light for only a short time.
CAUTION
Before using the watch for diving, apply sufficient bright light or sunlight
to the watch.
Light may not be emitted in certain cases if light is insufficient.
Please note that an underwater light must also be used diving.
(13) Water resistant watchband
Some products employ leather and nylon bands on which a special
treatment to resist perspiration and water absorption have been applied.
Please understand that the water resisting effect of this watchband can be
lost depending on the period and conditions of use.

winding mechanism).
(2) In addition to showing the time, this watch has a date indicator and power
reserve indicator.
ENGLISH
(3) It comes with a second hand halt mechanism.
(4) It uses shock-proof bearings to protect the balance from shocks.
(5) This watch is water-resistant up to 200 m for use in air diving.
SPECIFICATIONS
(1) Functions: hour/minute/second hands, date, and power reserve indicator
(2) Vibrations: 21.600 vibrations/hour
(3) Daily accurancy: 25 sec. to -15 sec.
(4) Drive system: Mainspring winding (automatic winding)
(5) Number of Jewels: 22 jewels
(6) Running time: More than 40 hours
The stated daily accuracy is in the following conditions:
• After 24 hours at room temperature with the mainspring wound fully and the
dial facing up.
• Due to the characteristics of the automatic winding watch, the time may
deviate from the stated “daily accuracy” depending on the following
conditions: amount of time the watch is worn each day, position of the
watch, movement of your arm, winding condition of the mainspring.
Product specifications may change without notice, for improvement.
BEFORE USE
WARNING
* Never perform operations not instructed in this manual while diving.
* This watch is for use in air diving. Refrain from using it in saturation diving
(diving using helium gas).
