■ CHARACTERISTICS
“Sonnerie” mechanism
○ This watch features the “sonnerie” mechanism, which is powered by its own separate
mainspring. The mechanism has an hour striking function that automatically announces
the current time by chiming the preset number of times on the hour.
○ The mechanism has been constructed based on a typical Japanese hanging bell sound
that produces a lingering sound, which creates a feeling of a natural flow of time and space.
○ The hour striking function can be set to one of three different modes; the “SONNERIE”
mode which strikes the number of hours every hour on the hour, the “ORIGINAL” mode
which strikes three times every three hours at 12:00, 3:00, 6:00 and 9:00, and the
“SILENCE” mode which mutes the chime sound when it is inappropriate.
○ The hour repeating function which announces the current hour by chiming the number of
hours can be activated at any time you wish to hear the delightful bell sound.
bCAUTION
The automatic chiming of the hour striking function is powered by mechanical movement.
It may start chiming slightly ahead or behind the correct time.
Characteristics of spring drive
○ This watch features“ Spring drive”, the unique mechanism made available only by SEIKO
technology.
○ The Spring Drive watch ensures quartz accuracy while using the mainspring as its sole
power source.
○ The glide-motion seconds hand moves in a perfectly smooth movement.
bCAUTION
○ Spring Drive works by the power provided by the mainspring. Remember to check the
power reserve indicator and keep the mainspring of the watch sufficiently wound while
using the watch.
“Power reserve indicator”→ P. 9
○ Under a low-temperature condition (below 0°C), the watch may stop when the power
reserve indicator shows less than one-fourth of the power reserve.
In such a case, turn the crown to wind the mainspring.

Daily care
The watch requires good daily care
○ 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.
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.
○ Stainless steel is a highly rust-resistant metal. However, rust will form if contaminants are
left on it for a long time.
Remarks on 18-karat gold
○ 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) and pink gold (PG).
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 the alloy persists even after wiping the watch off, take your watch to the retailer from
whom the watch was purchased for refinishing. (Refinishing will be done at a cost.)
Watch body / metal bracelet
Length adjustment service
○ 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 CREDOR SERVICE STUDIO 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, platinum or stainless steel mesh 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.
Periodic cleaning
○ Periodic cleaning is highly recommended to enjoy the best quality of the watch for a long
time.
Ask the retailer from whom the watch was purchased or the CREDOR SERVICE STUDIO
through your nearby CREDOR retailers. (Cleaning may be done at a cost.)
18 TO PRESERVE THE QUALITY OF YOUR WATCH
Band
The band touches the skin directly and becomes dirty from sweat or dust. Therefore,
lack of care may accelerate deterioration of the band or cause skin irritation or stain
on the sleeve edge. The watch requires a lot of attention for long usage.
Metallic band
○Moisture, sweat or soil will cause rust even on a stainless steel band if they are left for a
long time.
○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.)
Wipe off the remaining moisture with a soft cloth.
○ Because some titanium 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.
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 swimming,
and when working with water even if the watch itself is water-resistant enforced for daily
use.
Notes on skin irritation 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 the length of the band
Adjust the band to allow a little clearance with your wrist to ensure proper airflow.
When wearing the watch, leave enough room to insert a finger between the band
and your wrist.
