CAUTION |
|
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. |
|
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. |
|
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. |
If water-resistant level of your watch is defined as “WATER RESISTANT”
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. For diving, use watches specifically designed for diving. |
CAUTION |
|
Do not pour running water directly from 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. |

Precautions for diving (common during scuba diving and saturated diving)
Before diving
Inspect the following items before diving.
-
The time is correctly set.
-
Turn the crown to wind up the watch so that it does not stop in the water.
-
The rotating bezel turns smoothly. (The bezel rotation must not be too loose or too tight.)
-
The crown is completely screwed in.
-
No abnormalities such as flaws or cracks exist on the band or glass.
-
The band is reliably fixed with spring bars, buckles or other parts.
CAUTION
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.
While diving
Make sure to observe the following instructions when you wear the watch while diving.
Wear the watch within the water depth indicated on the dial.
Do not operate the crown or buttons underwater.
Take care not to bump the watch against hard objects such as rocks.
Bezel rotation may become slightly harder underwater, but this is not a malfunction.
After diving
Please follow the care instructions below after diving.
Rinse the watch in fresh water and wipe it thoroughly dry.
Do not pour running water directly from a faucet onto the watch. Soak the watch in a container filled with water to wash it.
