English○ This watch features a mechanically-actuated minute repeater function that is powered bymainsprings. It audibly chimes the current time with two different sounds, a high tone anda low tone.
○ The number of times the low-tone gong is struck represents the hour, and the number oftimes the sequence sound of the low-tone and the high-tone gongs are struck represents
the 10-minute intervals after the last hour, and the number of times the high-tone gong is
struck represents the minute.
Unlike most minute repeaters that represent a quarter hour by a sequence sound of the
low and high tones, the minute repeater of this watch has a decimal system so that theindicated time is easily understood.
(For more details on the time announcement method, refer to P. 11.)○ The source of the sounds which produce crisp, clear sounds are the rod-shaped gongs
made from specially hammered steel, using a technique passed down through generationsof the Myochin family, master blacksmiths from Himeji.
○ The volume of the striking gongs is tuned slightly louder so that you can comfortably enjoy
the passage of time and relaxed atmosphere in a quiet place without need for raising thewatch close to your ear.
* As the minute repeater is a mechanically-actuated time announcing device, an error of
approximately one minute may occur between the time indicated by the number of times
the gongs are struck and the time indicated by the hands of the watch.

2 Second mainspring
The first mainspring is mounted on the front side and the second mainspring is mounted on
the rear side of the watch.
These mainsprings are the power source for the watch and minute repeater.

3 One-way clutch
The one-way clutch transmits and interrupts the power generated by the mainsprings to theminute repeater.
The one-way clutch slips when the mainsprings are wound and is locked when the minuterepeater mechanism is activated. When winding the mainsprings, you can view the
movement of two small springs and the slipping one-way clutch.
4 Large hammer
The large hammer strikes the gong for a low-tone sound (sound source).

5 Small hammer
The small hammer strikes the gong for a high-tone sound (sound source).

6 Repeating rack
This is a mechanism for reading the number of times the gongs are struck.
Three repeating racks for the hour, 10-minute intervals after the last hour, and minute operate
in conjunction with each other.
When the button is pressed to activate the minute repeater, the repeating racks
instantaneously rotate and slowly return to the original position.
The number of times the gongs are struck is determined by the returning amount.

7 Slow governor
The slow governor controls the speed at which the mainsprings are unwound and regulates
the chime intervals.
When the button located at the 8 o’clock position is pressed, the slow governor rotates at ahigh speed, and stops after chiming is finished.
It uses the viscosity of air to minimize the operating sound.

Safety device of minute repeater mechanism

Failure of the minute repeater most frequently occurs due to operation of the crown when therepeater mechanism operates.
In most watches which are mounted with a repeater function, when the crown is pulled out toadjust the hand position while the minute repeater is chiming, an abnormal load is applied to
the gears or lever to cause a failure.

◎ The minute repeater cannot be activated while the time isbeing adjusted.
The button located at the 8 o’clock
position cannot be pressed in thestate where the crown is pulled out tothe first click position.
* Please keep in mind that if the
button is forcibly pressed when thecrown is pulled out to the first click
position, this may result in a failure.

○ This prevents corrosion of the crown and helps to extend the life of the gasket in use.
○ Stainless steel is a highly rust-resistant metal. However, rust will form if contaminants areleft on it for a long time.

Remarks on 18-karat gold
○ 18-karat gold (18KT) is an alloy comprised of 75% of gold and 25% of other metals.
Depending on the proportion of the other metals mixed with the gold, the 18-karat gold isclassified into three colors such as yellow gold (YG), white gold (WG) and pink gold (PG).

Decoloration of 18-karat gold

○ While gold can maintain its glittering quality, other metal components in the alloy may
discolor to look like reddish or blackish due to various reasons.
○ Daily care helps to prevent discoloration of the alloy, however, if the discoloration or stainof the alloy persists even after wiping the watch off, take your watch to the retailer fromwhom the watch was purchased for refinishing. (Refinishing will be done at a cost.)

Band

Magnetic resistance (Magnetic influence)

The band touches the skin directly and becomes dirty from sweat or dust. Therefore,lack of care may accelerate deterioration of the band or cause skin irritation or stain
on the sleeve edge. The watch requires a lot of attention for long usage.

Affected by nearby magnetism, a watch may temporarily gain or lose time or stop operating.
This watch is not magnetism resistant.

Metallic band

Keep the watch more than 10cm away from magnetic products.

Leather band

○ A leather band is susceptible to discoloration and deterioration from moisture, sweat anddirect sunlight.
○ Wipe off moisture and sweat as soon as possible by gently blotting them up with a dry cloth.
○ Do not expose the watch to direct sunlight for a long time.
○ Please take care when wearing a watch with light-colored band, as dirt is likely to show up.
○ Refrain from wearing a leather band watch other than Aqua Free bands while swimming,
and when working with water even if the watch itself is water-resistant enforced for dailyuse.

Notes on skin irritation and allergy

Skin irritation caused by a band has various reasons such as allergy to metals or leathers, orskin reactions against friction on dust or the band itself.

Notes on the length of the band

Adjust the band to allow a little clearance with your wrist to ensure proper airflow.
When wearing the watch, leave enough room to insert a finger between the bandand your wrist.

If the watch becomes magnetized and its accuracy deteriorates to an extent exceeding the specified
rate under normal use, the watch may need to be demagnetized. In this case, you will be charged
for demagnetization and accuracy readjustment even if it happens within the guarantee period.

English○ Moisture, sweat or soil will cause rust even on a stainless steel band if they are left for along time.
○ Lack of care may cause a yellowish or gold stain on the lower sleeve edge of shirts.
○ Wipe off moisture, sweat or soil with a soft cloth as soon as possible.
○ To clean the soil around the joint gaps of the band, wipe it out in water and then brush it off
with a soft toothbrush. (Protect the watch body from water splashes by wrapping it up in
plastic wrap etc.)
Wipe off the remaining moisture with a soft cloth.
○ Because some titanium bracelets use pins made of stainless steel, which has outstanding
strength, rust may form in the stainless steel parts.
○ If rust advances, pins may poke out or drop out, and the watch case may fall off the bracelet,or the clasp may not open.
○ If a pin is poking out, personal injury may result. In such a case, refrain from using the watch
and request repair.
