Impact
This watch can withstand normal everyday impacts and shocks and those normally
imparted by non-contact sports such as golf and baseball. Serious damage, however,
may result if the watch is dropped or subjected to severe shock.
Magnetic fields
This watch is antimagnetic up to 60 gauss, and is therefore not affected by magnetic
fields produced by normal domestic appliances. If used near strong magnetic fields, its
operation may be temporarily affected.
Chemicals and gases
Avoid wearing the watch in the presence of strong gases or chemical substances.
Parts of the watch may discolour, dissolve or even break if brought into contact with
benzol or petroleum based products such as solvents, thinners, detergents,
adhesives etc.
Pay special attention to avoiding contact with chemicals.
The watch case and strap may discolour if they come into contact with mercury from a
broken thermometer or other equipment.
Keeping the watch clean
Use an absorbent soft cloth to clean off any dirt or damp from the watch glass.
Wearing the watch when the strap or back of the case is dirty can cause skin irritation.
Keeping the watch clean also keeps shirt cuffs clean.
