Slide adjuster

If your watch has a metallic band equipped with a slide adjuster mechanism, you can

easily adjust the bracelet length by yourself. This is very useful when you wear the

watch over a wetsuit or a heavy winter clothing.

How to use the slide adjuster

1

Lift up the flap approximately 90° and press it down further approximately 20°, and hold it

there.

 * You may feel slight resistance, but doing this requires only a light force. Please do not

push the flap down forcibly.

2

Lightly pull the bracelet on the 6 o’clock side of the watch along the curved line of the

bracelet.

 * Again, doing this requires only a light force. Please do not pull the bracelet forcibly.

 * The slider can be pulled out approximately 30 mm. Be careful not to pull it out beyond

the limit mark inscribed on it.

Notes on guarantee and repair

○ Contact the retailer from whom the watch was purchased or Grand Seiko international

service network mentioned on CERTIFICATE OF GUARANTEE or our website for repair

or overhaul.

○ Within the guarantee period, present the certificate of guarantee to receive repair services.

○ Guarantee coverage is provided in the certificate of guarantee. Read carefully and retain

it.

○ For repair services after the guarantee period has expired, if the functions of the watch can

be restored by repair work, we will undertake repair services upon request and payment.

Replacement parts

○ Please keep in mind that if original parts are not available, they may be replaced with

substitutes whose outward appearance may differ from the originals.

Inspection and adjustment by disassembly and

cleaning (overhaul)

○ Periodic inspection and adjustment by disassembly and cleaning (overhaul) is

recommended approximately once every 3 to 4 years in order to maintain optimal

performance of the watch for a long time.

○ The movement of this watch has a structure that consistent pressure is applied on its power-

transmitting wheels. To ensure these parts work together properly, periodic inspection

including cleaning of parts and movement, oiling, adjustment of accuracy, functional check

and replacement of worn parts is needed. Inspection and adjustment by disassembly and

cleaning (overhaul) within 3 to 4 years from the date of purchase is highly recommended

for longtime use of your watch. According to use conditions, the oil retaining condition of

your watch mechanical parts may deteriorate, abrasion of the parts may occur due to

contamination of oil, which may ultimately lead the watch to stop.

As the parts such as the gasket may deteriorate, water-resistant performance may be

impaired due to intrusion of perspiration and moisture.

Please contact the retailer from whom the watch was purchased for inspection and

adjustment by disassembly and cleaning (overhaul). For replacement of parts, please

specify “GRAND SEIKO GENUINE PARTS”. When asking for inspection and adjustment

by disassembly and cleaning (overhaul), make sure that the gasket and push pin are also

replaced with new ones.

○ When your watch is inspected and adjusted by disassembly and cleaning (overhauled),

the movement of your watch may be replaced.
