■PERIODIC CHECK

・Checking and overhaul of the watch (cal. 9R66) will be performed by SEIKO.

When you take the watch to the retailer from whom it was purchased, request

that the watch will be checked and overhauled by SEIKO.

・We suggest that you have your watch checked by SEIKO every 3 or 4 years

for oil condition or damage due to water or sweat. After checking the watch,

adjustment and repair may be required.

・When replacing the parts, please specify "SEIKO GENUINE PARTS."

・Be sure to have the gasket and push-pin replaced with new ones when

checking the watch.

■PLACES TO KEEP YOUR WATCH

・If the watch is left in a temperature below −10℃ or above ＋60℃ for a long

time it may function improperly or stop operating.

・Do not leave the watch in a place where it is subjected to strong magnetism or

static electricity.

・Do not leave the watch where there is strong vibration.

・Do not leave the watch in a dusty place.

・Do not expose the watch to gases or chemicals.

(Ex.: Organic solvents such as benzine and thinner, gasoline, nail polish,

cosmetic spray, detergent, adhesives, mercury, and iodine antiseptic

solution.)

・Do not leave the watch in a hot spring, or do not keep it in a drawer having

insecticides inside.

※When the mainspring is fully wound, the crown can be turned further, or the

mainspring may wind without damaging the mainspring itself. The mainspring of the

watch employs a slipping attachment structure, a self-winding watch specific

mechanism, to prevent the mainspring from over winding.

●Remarks on the self-winding mechanism of the mainspring

・The correlation between the number of hours the watch is worn and

the winding state of the mainspring is provided below for your

reference. However, the winding state of the mainspring may vary

depending on actual use conditions, such as the number of hours you

wear the watch or the extent of your movement while wearing it. It is

recommended that you observe the power reserve indicator to check

the level of remaining power of your watch.

The mainspring of the watch becomes fully wound when it is worn for

twelve hours for three to five days.

※In a case where you wear the watch for a short period of time each day, observe the

power reserve indicator to check the level of the remaining power. If necessary,

manually wind the mainspring.

■HOW TO READ THE POWER RESERVE INDICATOR

・The power reserve indicator lets you know the winding state of the mainspring.

・Before removing the watch from your wrist, observe the power reserve indicator to

check if the watch has stored enough power to keep running until the next time you

wear it. If necessary, wind the mainspring. (To prevent the watch from stopping, wind

the mainspring to store the excess power that will allow the watch to run for extra

time.)

●RASH AND ALLERGY

・Adjust the bracelet and band so that there will be a little clearance between the

bracelet or band and your wrist to avoid accumulation of perspiration.

・If you are constitutionally predisposed to rash, the band may cause you to

develop a rash or an itch depending on your physical condition.

・The possible cause of the rash are as follows:

1. Allergy to metals or leathers

2. Rust, dust or perspiration on the watch or band

・If you develop any skin reactions, take off the watch and consult a doctor

immediately.

CAUTION

■TO PRESERVE THE QUALITY OF YOUR WATCH

●CARE OF YOUR WATCH

・The case and bracelet touch the skin directly just as underwear. If they are left

dirty, the edge of a sleeve may be stained with rust of those who have a

delicate skin may have a rash.

・After removing the watch from your wrist, wipe perspiration or moisture with a

soft cloth. This will prevent the watch from being soiled, adding to the life of

the gasket.

・When removing moisture from a leather band, do not rub the band with the

cloth as this may discolor it or reduce its gloss. Be sure to blot up the moisture

using a soft dry cloth.

・Clean the watch bracelet with a soft toothbrush dipped in water or soapy

water.

CAUTION

●PRECAUTIONS ON WEARING YOUR WATCH

・In case you tumble and fall or bump into others with the watch worn on your wrist,

you may be injured by the reason of the fact that you wear the watch.

・When you make contact with children, especially with infants, they may get injured or

develop a rush caused by allergy.

・Do not drop the watch or hit it against a hard surface and not wear the watch while

playing active sports. The watch may gains/loses time.

・If your watch is 3 bar water resistant, do not use it in water.

・If your watch is 5 bar water resistant, do not use it in any type of diving

including skin diving.

・If your watch is 10 or 20 bar water resistant, do not use it in saturation diving

or scuba diving.
