■NAMES OF THE PARTS
＊The crown is a screw lock type crown. To operate the crown, unlock the crown by unscrewing
it. Keep the crown locked unless it is necessary to operate the crown.
When screwing the crown in, turn it slowly with care, ensuring that the screw is properly
engaged. If it is stiff and difficult to work, unscrew it and redo it. Be careful not to forcibly
tighten the screw, as doing so may damage the screw.
＊Time setting and date setting methods vary depending on whether it is a model with or
without a 24-hour hand (the time difference adjustment function.)
For details, refer to "■HOW TO SET THE TIME AND DATE, HOW TO USE THE TIME
DIFFERENCE ADJUSTMENT FUNCTION (A model with a 24-hour hand)" on page 59.

■FEATURES
Spring Drive, the unique mechanism made available only by SEIKO technology,
ensures quartz accuracy while using the mainspring as its sole power source.
The watch will work continuously for approximately 72 hours (three days) when the
mainspring is fully wound.
The watch features a power reserve indicator to show the winding state of the
mainspring.
The sweep second hand works in a perfectly smooth movement.
This is a self-winding watch equipped with a manual winding mechanism. When first
using the watch, manual winding is convenient.
Some models have a 24-hour hand with the added feature of a time difference
adjustment function interrelated with the date display.
Spring Drive works by the power provided by the mainspring. Rewind the
mainspring before the power reserve indicator shows "0".
If the watch is left under low temperatures (especially below 0℃), it may stop if
the power reserve indicator is showing less than one-sixth.

B
After unlocking the screw, slowly
turn the crown clockwise (the
twelve o'clock direction) to wind the
mainspring. Take care not to press
down the crown.
＊As for manual winding, if you give the
crown five 360 degrees rotations, it
provides the power to run the watch for
approximately ten hours.
＊If the crown is turned counterclockwise
(the six o'clock direction), the main-
spring of the watch will not be wound.
C
Wind the mainspring until the
power reserve indicator shows a full-
wound state. The second hand
starts moving.

■HOW TO USE
(How to wind the mainspring)
This watch is a self-winding watch equipped with a manual winding mechanism.
・When the watch is worn on the wrist, the motion of the wearer's arm winds
the mainspring of the watch.
・When first using a stopped watch, it is recommended that you manually wind
the mainspring by turning the crown.
●How to manually wind the mainspring by turning the crown
A
The crown is a screw-lock type crown. Turn the crown counterclockwise (the
six o'clock direction) to unlock the screw. (When the screw is completely
unlocked, it will be projected outward a little from its original position.)

■HOW TO SET THE TIME AND DATE
(A model without a 24-hour hand)
※For models with a 24-hour hand, refer to "■ HOW TO SET THE TIME AND DATE,
HOW TO USE THE TIME DIFFERENCE ADJUSTMENT FUNCTION (A model with
a 24-hour hand)" on page 59.
・When setting the date and time, ensure that the watch is working: the mainspring is
sufficiently wound.
A
Unlock the screw lock type crown by turning it counterclockwise (the 6
o'clock direction), and then pull it out to the first click. (the second hand
continues moving.)
52
D
Gently turn the crown clockwise (the twelve o'clock direction) while pressing
it, until it is screwed all the way in and locked.
＊While screwing the crown in, the watch clicks as the mainspring is wound. This
should not cause any concern since this is caused by movement of the mainspring.
※To check the winding state of the mainspring, refer to "■ HOW TO READ THE
POWER RESERVE INDICATOR " on page 74.
※There is no need to turn the crown further when the mainspring is fully wound. The
crown can be turned without damaging the watch mechanism; it only winds the main-
spring free.
