・ If the watch is left in a temperature below − 10℃ or above + 60℃ for a
long time it may function improperly or stop operating.
・ Do not leave the watch in a place where it will be subjected to strong
magnetism (for example, near television sets, loudspeakers or magnetic
necklaces).
・ Do not leave the watch where there is strong vibration.
・Do not leave the watch in a dusty place.
・ Do not expose the watch to gases or chemicals.
(Ex.: Organic solvents such as benzene and thinner, gasoline, nail polish,
cosmetic spray, detergent, adhesives, mercury, and iodine antiseptic solu-
tion.)
・ Do not leave the watch in close contact with hot spring water, or do not
keep it in a drawer having insecticides inside.
● PLACES TO KEEP YOUR WATCH
・ Inspection and adjustment by disassembly and cleaning (overhaul) of this
watch will be performed by SEIKO. When you take the watch to the re-
tailer from whom it was purchased, request that the watch be inspected
and overhauled by SEIKO.
・ We suggest that you have your watch checked by SEIKO (overhaul) every
3 to 4 years for long-time use of your watch.
※ 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 in-
spection including cleaning of parts and movement, oiling, adjustment of accuracy, func-
tional 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 long-time 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 itself to stop. As the parts such as 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 “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.
・ For any questions or concerns, contact the "CUSTOMER SERVICE DE-
PARTMENT" of SEIKO WATCH CORPORATION.

・ IZUL Spring Drive conforms to the Magnetic Resistance Standard* of JIS Class
1. The watch has magnetic resistance to maintain performance in most cases even
where it is brought close to (at least 5cm spaced from) equipment generating a mag-
netic field in normal life. However, the movement part is magnetized when it encoun-
ters a strong magnetic field, thereby accuracy may go out of order. Pay attention so
as not to bring the instrument close to equipment (health appliances, speakers, and
mobile phones using a magnet) generating a strong magnetic field within 5cm.
・ If the accuracy exceeds the accuracy target range (± 15 seconds/month)
during normal usage due to magnetization, removal of magnetism and accu-
racy readjustment works are charged regardless of the guarantee period.
