WARNINGCAUTION
Do not turn or pull out the crown when the watch is wet.

Do not use the watch in scuba diving or saturation diving.

Water may get inside of the watch.

The various tightened inspections under simulated harsh environment, which
are usually required for watches designed for scuba diving or saturation diving,have not been conducted on the watevr-resistant watch with the BAR(barometric pressure) display. For diving, use special watches for diving.

※ If the inner surface of the glass is clouded with condensation or water droplets
appear inside of the watch for a long time, the water resistant performance of
the watch is deteriorated. Immediately consult the retailer from whom thewatch was purchased or SEIKO CUSTMER SERVICE CENTER (listed on theend of a book).

Do not leave moisture, sweat and dirt on the watch for a long time.

CAUTIONBe aware of a risk that a water resistant watch may lessen its water
resistant performance because of deterioration of the adhesive on theglass or gasket, or the development of rust on stainless steel.

Do not pour running water directly from faucet.
The water pressure of tap water from a faucet is high enough todegrade the water resistant performance of a water resistant watch
for everyday life.

Do not wear the watch while taking a bath or a sauna.
Steam, soap or some components of a hot spring may accelerate thedeterioration of water resistant performance of the watch.

Characteristics of mechanical watches

Characteristics of tourbillon

・This watch is a mechanical watch that runs by a mainspring.
・Before using the watch, turn the crown by hand about 20 times to wind up themainspring of the watch.
・While the loss / gain of a quartz watch is shown by the monthly or yearly rate,
the loss / gain of a mechanical watch is shown by the daily rate (loss/gain per
one day).
・The loss / gain of a mechanical watch changes delicately day by day, dependingon various environment or conditions in which the watch is used (such astemperatures, the amount of time the watch has been worn, the amount of arm
movement, and the amount that the mainspring is wound up).
・A mechanical watch may lose / gain time temporarily when it is affected bystrong magnetism. If the parts of the watch become magnetized, the watch needs
repair including demagnetizing. In this case, consult the retailer from whom thewatch was purchased.

・This watch is a mechanical watch with a tourbillon mechanism.
Tourbillon is a French word that means “whirl” or “whirlwind.” It comes fromwatch parts that rotate round and round in a whirling motion.
・The tourbillon is a mechanism used to average the influence of gravity caused bya change in the posture of the watch and to stabilize its accuracy by rotatingparts such as a balance and an escapement, both used to control the accuracy of
the watch, which are contained in a small cage called a “carriage.”・Another characteristic of this mechanism is that you can visually enjoy thesophisticated unique motions of the parts.

■Crown■How to wind up the mainspring of the watch
For a wind-up watch (the procedure below is the same when you wind up
a self-winding watch by hand)
１．Do not pull out the crown.
(In the case of a screw lock type crown, release the lock.)
２．Slowly turn the crown clockwise to wind the mainspring.
・When the mainspring approaches full-winding, turning of
the crown is heavy more or less, however, this is causedby reaction force of the wound mainspring, which is not
defective.

There are two types of crowns, a normal crown and a screw-lock crown.
Check the crown on your watch.
Turn thecrownclockwise.

The crownturns.

The
crown
does notturn.

Normal crown
Pull out the crown and operate it.
Screw-lock type crown
Unlock the crown before operating it.
Unscrew

After operating
the crown, lock it.
While pressing thecrown

Note : In case of 68 series watches that have thin movement, it becomes harder toturn the crown when the mainspring is fully wound up. Be careful not to keep
turning the crown forcibly. Otherwise the mainspring may be cut.

Screw
※ If your watch has a screw-lock crown, the crown screws into the watch to prevent malfunction
and increase water resistance.
※ Be careful not to screw the crown in by force as it may damage the slots of the crown.

３．Wind up the mainspring fully every day at a fixed time to keep the watch
moving accurately.

■How to set the time②①

TO PRESERVE THE QUALITY OF YOUR
WATCH

１．Make sure that the watch is operating.

※Always set the date and time when the watch is operating. If the watch is not operating, wind themainspring.
→“How to wind up the mainspring of the watch”on page 46

２．Pull out the crown.
３．Turn the crown to set the hour and minute hands to the time.
Turn the crown clockwise, not counterclockwise, to set the time accurately. Push
the crown back in to its normal position in accordance with a time signal.
※A 68 series model continues to move when the crown is pulled out to the first click (time setting).
◎The telephone time signal service (Tel. 117) is convenient to set the time.
◎Due to its wheel train mechanism, for setting the time of the mechanical watch correctly, the hands should
be set back once slightly and then set forward to the correct time.

48■To preserve the quality of your watch■Daily care●This watch contains many small parts that create a mechanism which is more
complicated than that of ordinary watches. Use it carefully to avoid any impact orshock to the watch.

● It is highly recommended for you to take good care of the watch inorder to enjoy the superb quality of the watch for a long time.
・The watch body and band touch the skin directly just as underwear.
Keep the watch body and band clean in order to avoid stain on the sleeve edge
or rash or itch. After removing the watch from your wrist, wipe perspiration
or moisture with a soft cloth as soon as possible.
・Do not use any chemical agent such as cleaner to clean the watch.

●Do not use this watch in situations like sports where there might be impact tothe arm.

● Turn the crown from time to time. (Only several turns in slow
movement will be enough.)
・This prevents corrosion of the crown and helps to extend the life of the gasket
in use.
・The same practice should be applied to the screw-lock type crown. (No need topull out the screw-lock type crown.)→ CROWN on page 46
・Stainless steel is a highly rust-resistant metal. However, rust will form if
contaminants are left on it for a long time.

■Watch band● Leather band・A leather band is susceptible to discoloration and deterioration from moisture, sweat and direct
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 bathing,swimming, and when working with water even if the watch itself is water-resistant enforced
for daily use（10-BAR water resistant).

The band touches the skin directly and becomes dirty with sweat or dust.
Therefore, lack of care may accelerate deterioration of the band or cause skinirritation or stain on the sleeve edge. The watch requires a lot of attention for longusage.
● Metallic band・Moisture, sweat or soil will cause rust even on a stainless steel band if they are left for a longtime.
・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.）
・Because some titan 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.

56

Notes on skinirritation and allergy

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

Notes on thelength of the band

Adjust the band to allow a little clearance with your wrist toensure proper airflow. When wearing the watch, leave enoughroom to insert a finger between the band and your wrist.

57■Length of metal bracelet adjustment service■Remarks on 18-karat gold

● Length adjustment service

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 is classified into three colors such as yellow gold (YG), white gold (WG) andpink gold (PG).

・For the length adjustment service of the 18-karat gold or platinum bracelet, ask the retailer
from whom the watch was purchased. The watch will be submitted to SEIKO PREMIUM
WATCH SERVICE STATION for the length adjustment. It may take two to three weeks
depending on the model to adjust the length of the bracelet.
・The length adjustment service of the 18-karat gold or platinum bracelet will not be charged
only for the first time. However, the cost for materials or parts necessary for the length
adjustment and repair cost other than the length adjustment will be charged.
・The length adjustment service of stainless-steel band is available from the retailer from whom
the watch was purchased or SEIKO CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER. Some other retailers
may charge you for the length adjustment or may not undertake such treatments.

● 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 stain of thealloy persists even after wiping the watch off, take your watch to the retailer from whom thewatch was purchased for refinishing. (Refinishing will be charged.)
