CAUTION
● RASH AND ALLERGIC REACTION
• Adjust the band to allow a little clearance around your wrist to ensure proper
airflow.
• Prolonged and/or repeated contact with the band may cause skin irritation
or dermatitis for those susceptible.
• Possible causes of dermatitis
• Allergic reaction to metals or leathers
• Rust, contamination or perspiration accumulated on the watch case or
band.
• If you should develop any allergic symptoms or skin irritation, immediately
stop wearing the watch and seek medical attention.
● WATER RESISTANCE
● Non-water resistance
If ”WATER RESISTANT” is not inscribed on the case back,
your watch is not water resistant, and care should be taken
not to get it wet as water may damage the movement. If the
watch becomes wet, we suggest that you have it checked
by the retailer from whom the watch was purchased or your
SERVICE CENTER.
TO PRESERVE THE QUALITY OF YOUR WATCH
CAUTION
● CARE OF YOUR WATCH
• The case and band touch the skin directly. Keep the case and band clean at
all times. This will help to extend the life of the watch and will reduce the
risk of skin irritations.
• When you take the watch off, wipe off moisture, sweat or soil with a soft
dry cloth as soon as possible. This will help to extend the life of the case,
band and gasket.
<Leather strap>
• Gently blot up the moisture using a soft dry cloth. Do not rub the leather,
as this may cause abrasions or discoloration.
<Metal bracelet>
• To keep the bracelet clean, use a soft toothbrush dipped in clean or soapy
water. Be careful not to get water on the case.
● Water resistance (3 bar)
If ”WATER RESISTANT” is inscribed on the case back, your
watch is designed and manufactured to withstand up to 3 bar,
such as accidental
contact with splashes of water or rain, but it
is not designed for wearing while swimming or diving.
● Water resistance (5 bar)*
If ”WATER RESISTANT 5 BAR” is inscribed on the case back,
your watch is designed and manufactured to withstand up to 5
bar and is suitable for wearing while swimming, yachting and
taking a shower.
● Water resistance (10 bar/15 bar/20 bar)*
If ”WATER RESISTANT 10 BAR”, ”WATER RESISTANT 15 BAR”
or ”WATER RESISTANT 20 BAR” is inscribed on the case back,
your watch is designed and manufactured to withstand up to
10 bar/15 bar/20 bar, respectively, and is suitable for wearing
while taking a bath or shallow diving, but not for scuba diving.
We recommend that you wear a SEIKO Diver’s watch while
scuba diving.

* Before using a water resistant 5, 10, 15 or 20 bar watch in water, make sure
the crown is pushed in completely.
Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet or in water. If used in sea
water, rinse the watch in fresh water and dry it completely.
* When taking a shower while wearing a water resistant 5 bar watch, or taking
a bath while wearing a water resistant 10, 15 or 20 bar watch, make sure to
observe the following:
• Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet with soapy water or
shampoo.
• If the watch is left in warm water, a slight time loss or gain may be caused.
This condition, however, will be corrected when the watch returns to normal
temperature.
PRECAUTIONS ON WEARING YOUR WATCH
• Exercise care when you hold an infant or small child while wearing the
watch on your wrist, as the infant or child may be injured or develop an
allergic reaction caused by direct contact with the watch.
• Avoid undue shocks such as dropping or scratching against hard surfaces
or playing active sports, which may cause temporary malfunctions.
• There is a possibility of injury caused by wearing the watch on your wrist
especially if you fall down or bump into other people or objects.

NOTES ON OVERHAUL
● The watch is a precision device with many moving parts lubricated with special
oils. If the parts run short of oil or get worn out, the watch may lose time or stop
operation. In such a case, have the watch overhauled.
NOTES ON GUARANTEE AND REPAIR
● Please contact the retailer the watch was purchased from or SEIKO CUSTOMER
SERVICE CENTER for repair or overhaul.
● Within the guarantee period, please present the certificate of guarantee to receive
repair services.
● Guarantee coverage is provided in the certificate of guarantee. Please read carefully
and retain it.
PLACES TO KEEP YOUR WATCH
● Do not leave the watch in a place where the temperature drops below 5 °C (41° F)
or rises above 35 °C (95 °F) for a long time.
● Do not leave the watch in a place where it will be subjected to strong magnetism
(for example, near television sets, loudspeakers or magnetic necklaces) or static
electricity.
● Do not leave the watch where there are strong vibrations.
● Do not leave the watch in dusty places.
● Do not expose the watch to chemical substances or gases.
(Ex.: Organic solvents such as benzine and thinner, gasoline, nail polish, cosmetic
sprays, detergents, adhesives, mercury, and iodine antiseptic solution.)
● Do not leave the watch in close contact with hot spring water.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem Possible causes Solutions
The watch stops
operating.
The power supplied by
the mainspring has been
consumed.
Turn the crown or swing the watch
to wind it up. The watch will start
operating. If the watch does not start,
consult the retailer from whom the
watch was purchased.
Even though you wear
the watch every day, it
soon stops operating.
The watch is worn on
your wrist only for a short
period of time, or the
amount of arm movement
is small.
Wear the watch for an extended
period of time, or when taking off the
watch, turn the crown to wind the
mainspring.

o’clock noon.

ACCURACY OF MECHANICAL WATCHES
● The accuracy of mechanical watches is indicated by the daily rates of one week or
so.
● The accuracy of mechanical watches may not fall within the specified range of
time accuracy because of loss/gain changes due to the conditions of use, such as
the length of time during which the watch is worn on the wrist, arm movement,
whether the mainspring is wound up fully or not, etc.
● The key components in mechanical watches are made of metals which 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.
● In order to improve accuracy, it is important to regularly supply energy to the balance
that controls the speed of the gears. The driving force of the mainspring that powers
mechanical watches varies between when it is fully wound and immediately before
it is unwound. As the mainspring unwinds, the force weakens.
Relatively steady accuracy can be obtained by wearing the watch on the wrist
frequently for the self-winding type and winding up the mainspring fully everyday
at a fixed time to move it regularly for the wind-up mechanical type.
● When affected by strong external magnetism, a mechanical watch may loss/gain
time temporarily. 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.
Problem Possible causes Solutions
The watch gains/loses
time temporarily.
The watch has been left
in extremely high or low
temperatures for a long time.
Normal accuracy will resume
when the watch returns to normal
temperature.
The watch was brought
into
close contact with a
magnetic object.
Normal accuracy will resume when the
watch is kept away from close contact
with the magnetic source. If this
condition persists, consult the retailer
from whom the watch was purchased.
You dropped the watch, hit
it against a hard surface or
wore it while playing active
sports. The watch was
exposed to strong vibrations.
Normal accuracy will not resume.
Consult the retailer from whom the
watch was purchased.
The watch has not been
overhauled for more than
3 years.
Consult the retailer from whom the
watch was purchased.
The glass is blurred and
the blur persists for a
long time.
Water got inside the watch
due to the deterioration of
the gasket, etc.
Consult the retailer from whom the
watch was purchased.
The stopwatch minute
hand and stopwatch
hour hand move while
you are setting the
watch to the current
time.
Time setting is done
while the stopwatch is
operating.
Push the crown back in to the normal
position. And then, stop and reset the
stopwatch. After that, if you wish to
set the time, follow the procedures in
“HOW TO SET THE TIME AND DATE”
section of this booklet.
• For the solution of troubles other than listed above, contact the retailer from whom the watch was
purchased.
