1-1. CAMPANOLA Constellation Watch
The CAMPANOLA Constellation Watch is an analog watch that displays the ever-changing
array of constellations along with the movements of the moon. The altitudes and azimuths of
the major fixed stars, nebulae, star clusters and galaxies are displayed, along with the moon
position range, lunar age, the local sidereal time, stellar spectral types, and the polar star hour
angle, making it useful for astronomical observation. You can even determine astronomical
twilight. The CAMPANOLA Constellation Watch also has features that provide such
convenient information as the times of sunrise and sunset and the position of the sun.

Because distortion is minimal in the northern hemisphere, approximately 94.9% of the celestial
sphere visible at 35°N latitude is displayed.
(The range shown on the constellation dial is from -55.57° to +65.20° declination.)
* Designs and features vary from one model to another.

1-4. Features
• The constellation display shows 1,027 fixed stars of visual magnitude 4.8 or brighter
(maximum magnitude values for variable stars) in increments of 0.1 and in four colors by
spectral type. In addition, 166 major nebulae, star clusters and galaxies, the delimitations of
constellations, the ecliptic, and the celestial equator are shown based on their positions as of
the year 2000.0.
• The constellation dial not only displays the current positions of constellations but also
functions as a planisphere in which the constellation dial is independently rotated.
• The solar position display shows, in the form of spaces along a broken line, the position of the
sun along the ecliptic (the sun's apparent path on the celestial sphere during the year) on the
1st, 11th, and 21st of each month (for 12 noon Universal Time over the mean year). You can
see the times for sunrise and sunset by looking at the horizon line on the transparent dial.
• The azimuth and altitude display feature shows the azimuths and altitudes of the major fixed
stars, nebulae, star clusters and galaxies on the celestial sphere. The altitude line, with
intervals of 15° on the transparent dial, compensates for refractions.
• The local sidereal time display is convenient for finding the positions of constellations.
Reading the right ascension scale that overlays the meridian on the transparent dial allows you
to find the positions of constellations.
11
• The moon position display allows you to find the range of the moon's position on the celestial
sphere, as well as the approximate lunar age. The moon position range is indicated by the
intersection of the moon transit range including the ecliptic on the constellation dial and width
of the largest angle encompassing the moon position mark on the moon dial. The approximate
lunar age is indicated by a straight line drawn toward that day's sun position along the
constellation plate ecliptic as seen from the center of the watch and the value of the
intersecting lunar age scale.
• The astronomical twilight indicator lets you identify the hours of increasing darkness, a
function especially useful for astronomical observations. Using the sun's position on the
ecliptic and the -18° altitude line on the transparent dial (with reference to 35°N latitude), you
can find the beginning and end of astronomical twilight.
• The polar star hour display lets you align an astronomical telescope to the polar axis. The
R.A. of the polar star for every 10 years between the year 2000 and 2050 is displayed with a
mark on the constellation dial. The angle that is measured counterclockwise from the
meridian direction of the transparent dial to the position equivalent to the current R.A. of the
polar star is the polar star hour angle.
*The celestial sphere near the turning center of the constellation dial is not displayed because it
is hidden under the moon dial.

1-5. Setting the Time, Constellation Dial, and Moon Dial
*Tip for pulling out the crown: If you find it difficult to pull out the crown, do not try to force it. Push the
crown back in and insert the nail of your middle right finger under the crown from the rear cover side.
Lightly insert the nail while rotating the crown slightly. It should move easily to the first click position.
You can perform fast correction in the first click position for the constellation dial and the moon dial
only. To pull out the crown to the second click position, hold it between the nails of your right thumb
and middle finger, and in the same way as above, pull it out quite strongly while rotating it slightly. The
crown moves to the second click position and the second hand stops. You can set the hour and minute
hands in the second click position. The constellation dial and moon dial are linked to the hour and
minute hands.
Setting the time
(1) Set the crown to the second click position when the second hand reaches 0 seconds.
(2) Turn the crown to set the hour and minute hands to the current time.
Move the minute hand 4 or 5 minutes forward from the correct time and then return it from the
other direction.
(3) Fully return the crown to the normal position at the correct time, using an accurate clock.
Setting the constellation dial and Moon dial
(4) Find the lunar age.
* Look up the next day's lunar age (lunar age at noon) in a newspaper or on the Internet.
The lunar age moves forward by 1 every day. This means that if you deduct the day ratio from the
current time until noon the next day from the next day's lunar age, you can determine the current
lunar age. For example, if the next day's lunar age is 5.6 (lunar age at noon), the lunar age at 21:00
on that day is the day ratio, which is 15 hours until noon on the next day (15 ÷ 24 ≒ 0.6),
13
deducted from 5.6, which is 5.
(5) Pull the crown out to the first click position.
(6) Turn the crown until the straight line drawn toward that day's sun position along the constellation
plate ecliptic as seen from the center of the watch and the value of the intersecting lunar age scale of
the moon dial match the calculated lunar age (to the nearest turning direction).
Example: June 11, lunar age 5
June 11
Lunar age 5
* To check the lunar age while you are correcting it, a useful method is to match that day's sun position
on the constellation dial with the meridian or in the hand direction and read the lunar age.
* Turning the crown to the left (to the right for the constellation dial and moon dial) decreases the lunar
age, and turning the crown to the right (to the left for the constellation dial and moon dial) increases
the lunar age.
14
(7) Check the time difference in local sidereal time between the observation point longitude and
standard time longitude.
The local sidereal time varies according to the longitude, and is advanced four minutes per degree
eastward.
(8) Calculate the time obtained by adding the current time (in the 24-hour time system) to the sum of
the difference between local sidereal time and the current time. Find the value corresponding to this
time on the right ascension scale, and align it with that day's date on the date scale on the watch
bezel by turning the crown counterclockwise (clockwise for the constellation dial).
(9) Push the crown into the normal position.
* The lunar age display of this watch continuously operates in a cycle of approximately 29.57 days,
which is roughly equal to the synodic month (p. 36). The synodic month is the average phase cycle of
the moon.
Because an approximate tooth ratio is used, when a long period of time has elapsed, a slight long-term
accumulative error will occur for the lunar age that is displayed on the watch (the lunar age slows by
approximately 0.5 over one year).
* To minimize this long-term accumulative error, about once a year pull out the crown to the click
position and turn the constellation dial 27 times in the opposite direction (clockwise) to its normal
turning direction. Then, set it to the current constellation positions and push the crown into the normal
position. This correction method can also be used when the lunar age displayed by the watch is
reduced by about 0.5 after turning the constellation dial for the initial setting in the step (8). If the
lunar age is increased by about 0.5, turn the constellation dial 27 times in the normal direction
(counterclockwise). Then, set it to the current constellation positions from the direction opposite to
normal turning, and push the crown into the normal position. In this way, you can set the lunar age to
a value close to the target value.

turning direction to match the June
11 date scale of the watch bezel.
Then, slightly turn the crown clockwise, and set by turning the crown counterclockwise
(clockwise for the constellation dial). After performing the setting, be sure to push the crown
into the normal position.
* The date scale of the watch bezel is inscribed with the noon of universal time of each day
over the mean year (21:00 Japan Standard Time) set as the center position for each scale line
width. The 1st, 11th and 21st of each month are indicated with a thick line, and the 6th, 16th
and 26th are indicated with a thin line.
* To set a more accurate value, add the local sidereal time correction value (p. 37).

(3) Read the right ascension scale
of the constellation dial that
faces the date scale for June 11.
* After using this function, return the constellation dial and moon dial to the current condition
(turn the crown counterclockwise and then turn the constellation dial clockwise), and then be
sure to push the crown into the normal position.

1-7. The Range of Moon Positions
The moon transit range that includes the ecliptic on the constellation dial and the range of the
maximum angle of the moon position mark that intersects the moon dial as seen from the center
of the watch are the moon position ranges that include the variable speed characteristics of the
moon's movement.
Range of moon
positions
* This range does not include the long-term accumulative error caused by the approximate tooth
ratio (the long-term accumulative error for the constellation dial of the moon dial is an
advance of approximately 5.6° per year in the normal turning direction).
19
1-8. Functions of the Lunar Age Display
You can tell the current approximate lunar age. The approximate lunar age is indicated by a
straight line drawn toward that day's sun position along the constellation plate ecliptic as seen
from the center of the watch and the value of the intersecting lunar age scale.
• You can tell the size of the tides from the lunar age. In general, spring tides occur during a
new moon (lunar age: 0) and full moon (lunar age: approximately 15), when the tidal range is
at its maximum; neap tides occur during the first quarter (lunar age: approximately 7) and last
quarter (lunar age: approximately 22), when the tidal range is at its minimum.
• You can read the approximate tidal state from the moon dial. A cycle of 1 moon dial rotation
is equivalent to about twice the average tidal cycle. The direction of the moon position mark
of the moon dial at the time of low tide on a new moon or full moon day is roughly
determined by point. If you remember the 2 directions of the moon position mark on the
moon dial at the time of low tide on a new moon or full moon day of the point that you want
to know, you can use it as a guideline for high tide. However, note that during and close to a
neap tide, there is quite a large difference between the low tide and high tide times.
* The lunar age that is displayed by this watch may vary slightly from the actual lunar age due
to factors such as the variable speed characteristics of the moon's movement and the longterm accumulative error caused by the approximate tooth ratio.

• The fixed star magnitude is displayed near the right ascension scale of 0h on the constellation
dial.
•N
earby stars (including multiple stars) that are difficult to separate on the constellation dial
are displayed with a combined magnitude. The color and position are displayed according to
the spectral type and position of the main star (the star that appears brightest).
• Variable stars are displayed on the constellation dial at their maximum magnitude. Note that
variable stars are not separately identified on the constellation dial.
• The main nebulae, star clusters and galaxies are displayed in light green or turquoise.
• The star clusters of Pleiades and Hyades are shown together in the fixed star group.

rief Explanation of Astronomical Terminology
Celestial sphere
This is an imaginary sphere used for displaying the visible positions of celestial
objects. The center is the observation point and the radius is infinite. However,
note that it is finite when drawn in a diagram, with the diagram drawn as seen from
the outside.
Zenith
This is the point where a line drawn vertically above (direction of gravity) the point
of observation intersects the celestial sphere. It is the point on the celestial sphere
that is directly above the point of observation.
Horizon
This is the intersecting line between the celestial sphere and the plane that is
perpendicular to the vertical line (direction of gravity) that includes the point of
observation
Celestial north pole
30
When an imaginary line through the earth's axis is extended, it intersects the
celestial sphere at two points. Celestial north pole is the point that can be
observed from the northern hemisphere. The other point that can be observed
from the southern hemisphere is called the celestial south pole.
Meridian
On the line where the celestial sphere meets the plane that includes the celestial
north pole, the zenith and the celestial south pole, this is the area that is higher
than the horizon. Within this, the area that can be used to read the hour angle
starting point or local sidereal time is the range from the celestial pole that is
visible (celestial north pole in the case of the northern hemisphere), through the
zenith and toward the opposite celestial pole (celestial south pole in the case of
the northern hemisphere) until it reaches the horizon. When it needs to be
specifically distinguished from the north-south azimuth line on the earth's surface it
is called the “celestial meridian”, but “meridian” alone when used in astronomical
observation is usually understood to mean the meridian on the celestial sphere.
Celestial equator
This is the intersecting line between the celestial sphere and the plane that
includes the point of observation, perpendicular to the earth's axis.
Ecliptic
The sun's mean path on the celestial sphere. It is inclined by approximately 23.4°
relative to the celestial equator. The ecliptic and the sun's position (for 12 noon
Universal Time over the mean year) on the ecliptic on the 1st, 11th, and 21st of
each month are displayed in the form of spaces along a broken line.
31
Vernal equinoctial point
Of the two intersections between the ecliptic and the celestial equator, this is the
point that the sun passes through as it moves from the south side of the celestial
equator to the north side. The other intersection is the autumnal equinoctial point.
The vernal equinox and the autumnal equinox occur when the center of the sun
passes through these points.
Declination and right ascension
Declination and right ascension determined by using the celestial equator and the
vernal equinoctial point as a standard in order to display their position on the
celestial sphere. The declination is 0° on the celestial equator, and it is measured
as far as +90° north of the celestial equator (celestial north pole) and -90° south
(celestial south pole). The right ascension is 0° above the vernal equinoctial point,
and it is measured as it turns to the east as far as 359° 59' 59".9… Usually, instead
of degrees, minutes and seconds, the value for right ascension is converted to 0h 23h 59m 59.9…s with 15° = 1 hour. The scale on the outer rim of the constellation
plate displays right ascension.
Celestial latitude and celestial longitude
32
The latitude and longitude that are determined by using the ecliptic and vernal
equinoctial point as the standard, in order to display positions on the celestial
sphere. The celestial latitude is 0° on the ecliptic, and it is measured as far as +90°
north of the celestial equator (ecliptic north pole) and -90° south (ecliptic south
pole). The celestial longitude is 0° above the vernal equinoctial point, and it is
measured as it turns to the east as far as 359° 59' 59".9…
The moon's path
The moon's transit as seen from the center of the earth on the celestial sphere. It
is inclined by approximately 5.1° relative to the ecliptic. The intersection between
the moon's path and the ecliptic moves on the ecliptic relative to the vernal
equinoctial point in a cycle of approximately 18.6 years. However, when
considering that the inclination angle between the moon's path and the ecliptic is
relatively small, the moon's path can be seen as being approximately on the
ecliptic. The constellation dial on this watch displays the moon transit range to
which has been added the maximum direction difference between the position of
the moon as seen from an observation point within the transit range of the moon's
path and the position of the moon as seen from the earth's center.
Local sidereal time
This is the angle (vernal equinoctial point hour angle) measured while turning to
the west, from the starting point of the meridian of the observation point to the
vernal equinoctial point. Instead of degrees, minutes and seconds, it is converted
into hours, minutes and seconds (0h - 23h 59m 59.9…s) with 15° = 1 hour. On this
watch the right ascension scale of the constellation dial that overlays the meridian
on the transparent dial is the local sidereal time.
33
Hour angle
With the meridian as the starting point, this is the angle measured while turning to
the west as far as the target celestial object (or point). Usually, the hour angle is
also expressed in hours, minutes and seconds instead of degrees, minutes and
seconds, converted with 15° = 1 hour. Also, celestial objects on the east side may
be measured by turning east from the meridian and expressed with a negative
value (-).
Atmospheric refraction
This is the phenomenon and the value where the refraction caused by the
atmosphere of the earth causes the apparent position of the celestial body to
appear higher than its actual position. The refraction has been corrected for the
altitude line, including the horizon, which is displayed on the transparent dial. The
refraction amount of celestial objects (approx. 0.57°) that appear to be on the
horizon is called the horizontal refraction.
Astronomical twilight
34
Twilight is the period after sunset or before sunrise when the sun's afterglow or
pre-glow is in the sky and appears as a half-light. In particular, the period when the
sun's altitude is -12° to -18° (18° under the horizon) is called the astronomical
twilight. If the sky is clear, when the astronomical twilight finishes (or before it
starts), stars of magnitude 6 can be seen near the zenith. On this watch, a -18°
altitude line is displayed on the transparent dial with 35°N latitude as the standard,
to determine the astronomical twilight.
Delimitations of constellations
The delimitations of constellations are comprised of standard declination and right
ascension lines from the year 1875.0. Because of the movement of the celestial
north pole and celestial south pole, and the vernal equinoctial point and autumnal
equinoctial point, the declination and right ascension lines of the constellation dial
(standard: year 2000) do not match the delimitations of constellations.
Polestar hour angle
There is no mark to indicate the celestial north pole, but the polar star is nearby
(magnitude 2.0 star, declination of 89° 15' 51", right ascension of 2h 31m 50s…
J2000.0 equinox). The angle that separates the celestial north pole from the polestar
can be calculated. This means that if you know the hour angle of the polar star, you
can use the polar star to calculate the celestial north pole. To enable the calculation
of the hour angle of the polar star, the R. A. of the polar star for every 10 years
between the year 2000.0 and 2050.0 is displayed with large and small ▼ marks
near the 2h to 4h right ascension scale on the outer rim of the constellation dial.
New moon
This is the phenomenon and the time when the celestial longitude of the moon is
equal to the celestial longitude of the sun.
35
First quarter
This is the phenomenon and the time when the celestial longitude of the moon is
90° greater (or 270° smaller) than the celestial longitude of the sun.
Full moon
This is the phenomenon and the time when the celestial longitude of the moon is
180° greater (or 180° smaller) than the celestial longitude of the sun.
Last quarter
This is the phenomenon and the time when the celestial longitude of the moon is
270° greater (or 90° smaller) than the celestial longitude of the sun.
Lunar age
This is the time expressed in days that have passed since the new moon. For
example, “lunar age 5” means that 5 days have passed since the moment of the
previous new moon. The approximate lunar age is indicated by a straight line
drawn toward that day's sun position along the constellation plate ecliptic as seen
from the center of the watch and the value of the intersecting lunar age scale.
Synodic month
This is the average phase cycle of the moon, which is approximately 29.530589
days.

CAUTION
To Avoid Injury
• Be particularly careful when wearing your watch while holding a small child, to avoid injury.
• Be particularly careful when engaged in strenuous exercise or work, to avoid injury to yourself and
others.
• Do NOT wear your watch while in a sauna or other location where your watch may become
excessively hot, since there is the risk of burns.
• Be careful when putting on and taking off your watch, since there is a risk of damaging your
fingernails, depending on the manner in which the band is fastened.
• Take off your watch before going to bed.
CAUTION
Precautions
• Always use the watch with the crown pushed in (normal position). If the crown is of the screw lock-type,
make sure it is securely locked.
• Do NOT operate the crown or any push buttons when the watch is wet. Water may enter the watch
causing damage to vital components.
• If water enters the watch or the watch fogs up and does not clear up even after a long time, consult
your dealer or Authorized Service Center for inspection and/or repair.
40
•
•
Even if your watch has a high level of water resistance, please be careful of the following.
- If your watch is immersed in sea water, rinse thoroughly with fresh water and wipe with a dry cloth.
- Do not pour water from a tap directly onto your watch.
- Take off your watch before taking a bath.
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, push button, etc.)
may come off.
CAUTION
When Wearing Your Watch
<Band>
• Leather, genuine skin and rubber (urethane) bands will deteriorate over time due to perspiration,
body oils and dirt. Be sure to replace the band periodically.
• The durability of a leather band may be affected when wet (fading, peeling of adhesive), owing to the
properties of the material. Moreover, wet leather may cause a rash.
• It is recommended to take off the watch if it gets wet, even if the watch itself is water resistant.
• Do not wear the band too tightly. Try to leave enough space between the band and your skin to allow
adequate ventilation.
• The rubber (urethane) band may be stained by dyes or soil present in or on clothing or other
accessories. Since these stains may not be removable, caution is required when wearing your watch
with items that tend to easily transfer color (articles of clothing, purses, etc.). In addition, the band
may be deteriorated by solvents or moisture in the air. Replace with a new one when it has lost
elasticity or become cracked.
41
•
•
Please request adjustment or repair of the band in the following cases:
- You notice an abnormality with the band due to corrosion.
- The pin of the band is protruding.
We recommend seeking the assistance of an experienced watch technician for sizing of
your watch. If adjustment is not done correctly, the bracelet may unexpectedly become
detached leading to loss of your watch or injury.
Consult Citizen Owners’ Help Desk.
<Temperature>
• The watch may stop or the function of the watch may be impaired in extremely high or low
temperature. Do not use the watch in places where the temperature is outside the operating
temperature range as stated in the specifications.
<Magnetism>
• Analog quartz watches are powered by a step motor that uses a magnet. Subjecting the watch to strong
magnetism from the outside can cause the motor to operate improperly and prevent the watch from
keeping time accurately.
Do not allow the watch to come into close proximity to magnetic health devices (magnetic necklaces,
magnetic elastic bands, etc.) or the magnets used in the latches of refrigerator doors, clasps used in
handbags, the speaker of a cell phone, electromagnetic cooking devices and so on.
42
<Strong Shock>
• Avoid dropping the watch or subjecting it to other strong impact. It may cause malfunctions and/or
performance deterioration as well as damage to the case and bracelet.
<Static Electricity>
• The integrated circuits (IC) used in quartz watches are sensitive to static electricity. Please note that
the watch may operate erratically or not at all if exposed to intense static electricity.
<Chemicals, Corrosive Gasses and Mercury>
• If paint thinner, benzene or other solvents or products containing these solvents (including gasoline,
nail-polish remover, cresol, bathroom cleaners and adhesives, water repellent, etc.) are allowed to
come into contact with the watch, they may discolor, dissolve or crack the materials. Be careful when
handling these chemicals. Contact with mercury such as that used in thermometers may also cause
discoloration of the band and case.
<Protective Stickers>
• Be sure to remove any protective stickers that may be on your watch (case back, band, clasp, etc.).
Otherwise, perspiration or moisture may enter the gaps between the protective stickers and the parts,
which may result in a skin rash and/or corrosion of the metal parts.
43
WARNING
Handling of the Battery
• If the battery should happen to be removed from the watch, keep it out of the reach of small children.
• In the event a battery is swallowed, immediately consult a physician.
CAUTION Battery Replacement
• Always be sure to select a battery of the correct specifications when replacing the battery.
CAUTION Always Keep Your Watch Clean
• Rotate the crown while it is pressed in fully and press the buttons periodically so they do not become
stuck due to accumulations of foreign matter.
• The case and band of the watch come into direct contact with the skin in the same manner as
undergarments. Corrosion of the metal or unnoticed soiling such as that caused by perspiration and
dirt can soil sleeves and other portions of clothing. Keep your watch clean at all times.
• The case and band of the watch come into direct contact with the skin. If you think there is something
wrong, discontinue wearing the watch immediately and consult your physician. In the case of
accumulation of sweat or dirt on a metal band or case, clean thoroughly using a brush and neutral
detergent. In the case of a leather band, wipe clean using a dry cloth.
• Leather bands may become discolored by perspiration or dirt. Always keep your leather band clean by
wiping with a dry cloth.
44
Caring for Your Watch
•
•
•
•
Wipe any dirt or moisture such as perspiration from the case and crystal with a soft cloth.
For a metallic, plastic or rubber (urethane) watchband, wash any dirt off with water.
Remove the small amounts of dirt trapped between the crevices of the metallic band with a soft brush.
For a leather band, wipe off dirt using a dry cloth.
If you will not be using your watch for an extended period of time, carefully wipe off any perspiration,
dirt or moisture and store in a proper location, avoiding locations subject to excessively high or low
temperatures and high humidity.
<When Luminous Paint is used for your watch>
The paint on the dial and hands helps you with reading the time in a dark place. The luminous paint
stores light (daylight or artificial light) and glows in a dark place. It is free from any radioactive
substance or any other material harmful to a human body or environment.
• The light emission gradually becomes weaker as time passes.
• The duration of the light (“glow”) will vary depending on the brightness, types of and distance
from a light source, exposure time, and the amount of the paint.
• The paint may not glow and/or may dissipate quickly if exposure to light was not sufficient.
