• 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, it is not designed for use underwater.
• 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, it
is not designed for use while skin diving.
• Upgraded water-resistance for daily use (to 10/20 atmospheres): This type of watch may be
used for skin diving; however, it is not designed for 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-type crown, be sure to tighten the crown completely.
• Do NOT operate the crown with wet fingers or when the watch is wet. Water may enter the
watch and compromise water-resistance.
• 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, immediately take the watch to your dealer or 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.
