In the following types of models, take care of the following issues in usage.
HOW TO USE

HOW TO USE
The bezel or protective outer case is securely fastened to the watch with setscrews. • This is a mechanical watch powered by a spring.
Never loosen the setscrews. • To use it from a stopped state, turn the crown 20 turns by hand to wind up the spring before starting the
setscrew setscrew watch.
• Although the accuracy of quartz watches is measured in differences over months or years, in mechanical
watches it is measured in differences per day (i.e., the amount the watch speeds up or slows down in a
single day).
• Additionally, mechanical watches are subtly affected by the conditions in which they are used (e.g.,
duration worn, temperature, arm movement, the amount wound, etc.) ; thus, the amount of error is not
constant.
• When affected by a strong magnetism from outside, the mechanical watch may lose/gain time. The parts
of the watch may become magnetized depending on the extent of the effect. In such a case, consult the
retailer from whom the watch was purchased since the watch requires repair including demagnetizing.
* The above illustration is provided as an example, therefore it may not be exactly the same as your watch.

b CAUTION
Never loosen the setscrews used to fix the bezel or protective outer case.
Doing so may cause damage or result in further loosening.
* If you find that the setscrews have become loose or are functioning abnormally, consult the retailer from whom
the watch was purchased or SEIKO CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER.

 How to wind the mainspring
* If the watch is used without being wound up fully, gain or loss of time may result. To avoid this, wear the watch for

torque is reached after the mainspring has been wound up. However, swinging the watch from side to side to
forcibly turn the balance can start the watch sooner.
• To start the watch after it stops completely, wind it up either by turning the crown or swinging it from side
to side until the seconds hand starts moving. Then, set the time and date before putting the watch on
the wrist. To wind up the watch, turn the crown clockwise slowly. The watch cannot be wound by turning
the crown counterclockwise. In this way, the watch can be wound up fully. Furthermore, turning the crown
further will not break the spring.
* For the watch with screw down crown, please unlock the crown before operating it and be sure to lock the crown
after operating it.

• Once the watch is wound up fully, it operates for about 72 hours.

• When the time is advanced or set back to between 9:00 PM and 1:00 AM the next day, the date may not
change at around midnight. However, the date will change to the day after the date at 9:00 PM (i.e., the
date at 1:00 AM) after 1:00 AM. Also, when the watch is running, the timing at which the date changes
will return to the normal timing.

1 ■ Date adjustment at the end of the month ■ How to use the 24-hour hand 1
It is necessary to adjust the date at the end of February and 30-day months. There are two ways to use the 24-hour hand as follows.
HOW TO USE

HOW TO USE
Ex.) To adjust the date in the A.M. period on the first day of a month following a 30-day month
The watch displays “31” instead of “1.” Pull out the crown to the first click.

b CAUTION
• Return the screw down crown fully to its original position.

b CAUTION • Do not wash the watch when its crown is in the extended position.

TO PRESERVE THE QUALITY OF YOUR WATCH

• Wipe away moisture, sweat or dirt with a soft cloth.
Make sure that you check the correct remaining amount of air in your cylinder before diving. • After soaking the watch in seawater, be sure to wash the watch in clean pure water and wipe it dry
carefully.
Use the display of the elapsed time by the rotating bezel only as a guide during diving.
Do not pour running water directly from a faucet onto the watch. Put some water into a bowl first, and
then soak the watch in the water to wash it.
* If your watch is rated as “Non-water resistant” or “water resistant for everyday life,” do not wash the watch.
“Performance and type” → P.31

● Turn the crown from time to time

• In order to prevent corrosion of the crown, turn the crown from time to time.

etc. In such a case, consult the retailer from whom the watch was purchased since the watch requires repair
including demagnetizing.
○ The loss/gain of mechanical watches is not measured by a daily rate,
but by daily rates of one week or so.
○ Accuracy variation according to temperature
The parts that compose the accuracy of mechanical watches are made of metals. It is well known that
metals expand or contract depending on temperatures due to metal properties. This exerts an effect on the
accuracy of the watches. Mechanical watches tend to lose time at high temperatures while they tend to
gain time at low temperatures.
