							WATER AND SHOCK RESISTANCEIf your watch is water-resistant, meter marking
(WR_M) is indicated.

ENGLISH
HOW TO START YOUR WATCHTo start your watch remove the plastic guard from
under the crown, then press the crown in against 
the case. The second hand will begin advancing in
one-second intervals.
Some deep-depth water-resistant watches require
the setting crown to be screwed in to secure  
water-resistance. If your watch case has a protrusion
with screw threads, the crown must be screwed in
after setting the watch.
To screw in, push the crown firmly against the
threaded protrusion and hold in while turning the
crown clockwise. Continue to screw in the crown
until it is tight. You will need to unscrew the crown
(counter-clockwise) before pulling it out the next time
you want to set your watch.
