○ Before diving
Inspect the following items before
diving.
⇒
“NAMES OF THE PARTS” page 8.
①
The time is correctly set.
②
The rotating bezel turns smoothly.
( The bezel rotation must not be too
loose or too tight.)
⇒
“Unidirectional rotating bezel” page

Precautions for diving
Do not leave moisture, sweat and dirt on the
watch for a long time.
Be aware of a risk that a water resistant watch may lessen its
water resistant performance because of deterioration of the
adhesive on the glass or gasket, or the development of rust on
stainless steel.
CAUTIONS
Do not turn or pull out the crown when the
watch is wet.
Water may get inside of the watch.
※
If the inner surface of the glass is clouded with condensation or water
droplets appear inside of the watch for a long time, the water resistant
performance of the watch is deteriorated. Immediately consult the retailer
from whom the watch was purchased or Grand Seiko international service
network mentioned on CERTIFICATE OF GUARANTEE or our website.
Do not wear the watch while taking a bath
or a sauna.
Steam, soap or some components of a hot spring may
accelerate the deterioration of water resistant performance of the
watch.
■CAUTIONS ON WATER RESISTANCE
WARNING
Do not use the watch in scuba diving or
saturation diving.
The various tightened inspections under simulated harsh
environment, which are usually required for watches designed for
scuba diving or saturation diving, have not been conducted on
the water-resistant watch with the BAR (barometric pressure)
display. For diving, use special watches for diving.
CAUTION
Do not pour running water directly from the
faucet.
The water pressure of tap water from a faucet is high enough to
degrade the water resistant performance of a water resistant
watch for everyday life.
If water-resistant level of your watch is dened as
“WATER RESISTANT”
If water-resistant level of your watch is dened as
“AIR DIVER’S”
If you notice any abnormalities, contact the retailer from whom the
watch was purchased or Grand Seiko international service network
mentioned on CERTIFICATE OF GUARANTEE or our website.
CAUTION
Before using the diver's watch, you have to be properly
trained in various types of diving and possess the requisite
experience and skill to dive safely. When diving, strictly
abide by the rules of diving.
CAUTION
○
Never use the watch in saturation diving using helium
gas.
○
While diving, never operate the watch in any other
manner than described in this instruction manual.
