WARNING
Water-resistance performance
Water-resistance for daily use (to 3 atmospheres): This type of watch is water-resistant
to minor exposure to water. For example, you may wear the watch while washing your
face; however, do not use while swimming.
Upgraded water-resistance for daily use (to 5 atmospheres): This type of watch
is water-resistant to moderate exposure to water. You may wear the watch while
swimming; however, do not use while skin diving or scuba diving.
Upgraded water-resistance for daily use (to 10/20 atmospheres): You may wear the
watch while skin diving; however, do not use while scuba or saturated diving using
helium gas.
CAUTION
Be sure to use the watch with the crown pressed in (normal position). If your watch has
a screw-lock type crown, be sure that the crown is locked securely.
Do not operate the crown or button when the watch is wet. Water may enter the watch
and compromise water-resistance.
The durability of a leather band may be affected when wet, owing to the properties of
the material. In the case of a watch of upgraded water resistance for daily use that is
frequently used in water, fading, peeling of adhesive or other problems may occur. It is
therefore recommended to use another type of band (metal or rubber band).

If the watch is used in seawater, rinse with fresh water afterward and wipe with a dry
cloth.
If moisture has entered the watch, or if the inside of the crystal is fogged up and does
not become clear within a day, take the watch to your nearest Citizen Service Center
for repair. Leaving the watch in such a state will allow corrosion to form inside.
If seawater enters the watch, place the watch in a box or plastic bag and immediately
take it in for repair. Otherwise, pressure inside the watch will increase, and parts
(crystal, crown, buttons, etc.) may come off.
CAUTION
Keep your watch clean
Leaving dust and dirt deposited between the case and crown may result in diffi culty in
pulling the crown out. Turn the crown while in its normal position, from time to time,
to loosen dust and dirt and then brush it off.
Dust and dirt tend to be deposited in gaps in the back of the case or band. Deposited
dust and dirt may cause corrosion and soil your clothing. Clean the watch occasionally.
