PRECAUTIONS ON USING THE WATCH FOR DIVING

Before diving, make sure that the watch operates normally and be sure to observe the
precautions described below.
BEFORE DIVING
l To measure the elapsed time while you are underwater, always use the rotating bezel.
l Check that:
• the second hand is operating normally.
• the crown is locked tightly in place.
• there are no visible cracks in the crystal or the watch band.
• the strap or bracelet is securely fastened to the watch case.
• the buckle keeps the strap or bracelet firmly secured to the wrist.
• the rotating bezel turns counterclockwise smoothly (the rotation must not be too loose or too tight)
and the " " mark aligns with the minute hand.
• the time and calendar are appropriately set.
If there are any malfunctions, we recommend that you contact an AUTHORIZED SEIKO
SERVICE CENTER.
WHILE DIVING
l Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet or in water.
l Take care not to hit the watch against hard objects such as rocks.
l Bezel rotation may become slightly stiffer underwater. This is not a malfunction.
AFTER DIVING
l Rinse the watch in fresh water after diving and wash out all seawater, soil, sand, etc.
l Wipe the watch thoroughly dry to prevent possible rust on the case after cleaning the watch in fresh water.
