NAMES OF THE PARTS
CHARACTERISTICS OF A MECHANICAL WATCH
(self-winding type, automatic winding type)
●This mechanical watch operates using power obtained from a mainspring.
●If the watch is completely stopped, manually turn the crown approximately 20
times to wind up the mainspring to start the watch.
●While loss/gain of a quartz watch is indicated by a monthly or annual rate, accuracy
of a mechanical watch is normally indicated by a daily rate (loss/gain per day).
● Normal usage accuracy of a mechanical watch varies according to conditions of
use (time period that the watch is worn on the wrist, temperature environment,
hand movement, and winding state of the mainspring).
● When the watch is affected by strong magnetism, it temporarily gains or loses
time. If the watch encounters a strong magnetic field, the parts of the watch may
be magnetized. In this case, repairs such as removal of magnetism are required.
Contact the retailer from whom the watch was purchased.

• Checkthatthewatchisoperating,andthensetthetimeanddate.
• The watch is provided with a date function and is so designed that the date
changes once every 24 hours. The date changes around 12 o’clock midnight. If
AM/PM is not properly set, the date will change around 12 o’clock noon.
1. Pull out the crown to the first click. (The second hand
continues moving and the accuracy of the watch is
unimpaired.)
2. The date can be set by turning the crown
counterclockwise. Turn it until the previous day’s
date appears.
Ex.) If today is the 5th of the month, first set the date to
”4” by turning the crown counterclockwise.

HOW TO SET THE TIME AND DATE
(FOR CAL. 4R35 AND 4R37)
• Thereisnoneedtoturnthecrownfurtherwhenthemainspringisfullywound.But

• If the watch has stopped with the mainspring unwound, winding the mainspring
with the crown will not start the watch immediately. This is because the main-
springtorque(force)islowatthebeginningofitswindingduetothecharacteristics
ofmechanicalwatches. The secondhandstarts to move whenacertain degree
of strong torque is reached after the mainspring has been wound up. However,
swinging the watch from side to side to forcibly turn the balance can start the
watch sooner.

• The mechanism of mechanical watches is different from that of quartz
watches. When setting the time, be sure to turn back the minute hand a
little behind the desired time and then advance it to the exact time.
CAUTION
3. Pull out the crown to the second click when the
second hand is at the 12 o’clock position. (The
second hand stops on the spot.)
Turn the crown to advance the hands until the date
changes to the next. The time is now set for the
a.m. period. Advance the hands to set the correct
time.
4. Push the crown back in to the normal position in
accordance with a time signal. It is necessary to adjust the date on the first day after a
month that has less than 31 days.
Ex.) To adust the date in the a.m. period on the first day
of a month following a 30-day month.
1. The watch displays “31” instead of ”1”. Pull out the
crown to the first click.
2. Turn the crown to set the date to “1” and then push
the crown back in to the normal position.

• Ifyoushoulddevelopanyallergicsymptomsorskinirritation,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.

●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:
• Donotoperatethecrownwhenthewatchiswetwithsoapywateror

This condition, however, will be corrected when the watch returns to
normal temperature.
PRECAUTIONS ON WEARING YOUR WATCH

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.

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 date change at
12 o’clock noon.
AM/PM is not
properly set. Advance the hands by 12 hours.
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.
•
For the soluton of troubles other than listed above, contact the retailer from whm the watch was purchased.
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 external strong 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.
