■ CHECK THE CALIBER NUMBER AND
WATER-RESISTANT LEVEL
About the caliber number
The caliber number is a four-digit number that indicates the model of a movement (mechanical
part of a watch). The Grand Seiko watch is mounted with an exclusive movement, and the
mechanical caliber number starts with “9S”, the spring drive caliber number starts with “9R” and
the quartz caliber numbers are indicated with 4 digits starting with “9F”, “8J” and “4J”.
How to check the caliber number
The four-digit model number on the case back is the caliber number.

■ CAUTIONS ON WATER RESISTANCE
b
CAUTION
Do not turn or pull out the crown when the
watch is wet.
Water may get inside of the watch.
* If the inner surface of the glass is clouded with condensation or water
droplets appear inside of the watch for a long time, the water resistant
performance of the watch is deteriorated.
Immediately consult the retailer from whom the watch was purchased or
Grand Seiko international service network mentioned on CERTIFICATE
OF GUARANTEE or our website.
Do not leave moisture, sweat and dirt on the
watch for a long time.
Be aware of a risk that a water resistant watch may lessen its water resistant
performance because of deterioration of the adhesive on the glass or
gasket, or the development of rust on stainless steel.
Do not wear the watch while taking a bath or
a sauna.
Steam, soap or some components of a hot spring may accelerate the
deterioration of water resistant performance of the watch.
If water-resistant level of your watch is defined
as “WATER RESISTANT”
b
WARNING
Do not use the watch in scuba diving or
saturation diving.
The various tightened inspections under simulated harsh environment,
which are usually required for watches designed for scuba diving or
saturation diving, have not been conducted. For diving, use watches
specifically designed for diving.
b
CAUTION
Do not pour running water directly from
faucet.
The water pressure of tap water from a faucet is high enough to degrade
the water resistant performance of a water resistant watch for everyday life.
