Length adjustment service for metallic bands is available at the retailer from
whom the watch was purchased. If you cannot have your watch repaired by the
retailer from whom the watch was purchased because you received the watch
as a gift, or you moved to a distant place, please contact SEIKO CUSTOMER
SERVICE CENTER. The service may also be available on a chargeable basis at
other retailers, however, some retailers may not undertake the service.
If your watch has a protective lm for preventing scratches, make sure to
peel it o󱐯 before using the watch. If the watch is used with the lm on it, dirt,
sweat, dust, or moisture may be attached to the lm and may cause rust.

For the Spring Drive, the mainspring is wound and the
unwinding power of the mainspring moves the hands in
the same manner as the mechanical watch.
It di󱐯ers from the mechanical watch only in the speed-
regulating unit (mechanism for controlling accuracy).

○ While diving
Wear the watch air diving within
the water depth indicated on the
dial.
Do not operate the crown or
buttons underwater.
Take care not to bump the
watch against hard objects
such as rocks.
Bezel rotation may become
slightly harder underwater, but
this is not a malfunction.
Make sure to observe the following instructions
when you wear the watch while diving.
○ After diving
Please follow the care instructions below after
diving.
Rinse the watch in fresh water and wipe it thoroughly dry.
Do not pour running water directly from a faucet onto the watch.
Soak the watch in a container lled with water to wash it.
