ENERGY DEPLETION FOREWARNING FUNCTION
● When the second hand starts moving at two-second intervals instead of the normal one-
second intervals, the watch will run down in approximately 24 hours.
In this case, swing the watch from side to side to charge the KINETIC E.S.U. sufficiently.
* The watch remains accurate even while the second hand is moving at two-second intervals.
INSTANT-START FUNCTION
● When a long time has passed since the watch stopped, you can get it started quickly with
only a few swings.
● This function is available as long as the watch has been stopped for less than a year.
* When this function is activated, the second hand will start moving at two-second intervals. Swing the
watch from side to side to charge the KINETIC E.S.U. by referring to “NUMBER OF SWINGS AND POWER
RESERVE”.
* After the second hand starts moving at one-second intervals, put the watch on your wrist so that it will be
charged further.
* The watch remains accurate even while the second hand is moving at two-second intervals.
REMARKS ON THE KINETIC E.S.U.
● The electric energy generated while the watch is worn on your wrist is stored in the KINETIC
E.S.U. It is a power source completely different from conventional batteries for watches and
does not require any periodical replacement.
English
9
Page 10
● When the KINETIC E.S.U. is fully charged, the watch will keep operating for approximately
6 months without recharging the KINETIC E.S.U.
● The duration of charge decreases gradually over time. The extent of decrease, however,
varies depending on the environment and condition of use.
English
● The KINETIC E.S.U. is a clean and environmentally friendly power source.
CAUTION
Never install a silver oxide battery for conventional watches in place of the
KINETIC E.S.U. The battery may burst, become very hot or catch fire.
HOW TO OPERATE THE SCREW LOCK TYPE CROWN
(for models with screw lock type crown)
● To unscrew the crown:
Turn the crown counterclockwise. (Then, pull it out for time/calendar setting)
● To screw in the crown:
With the crown at the normal position, turn it clockwise while pressing it.

Page 11
ROTATING BEZEL
The rotating bezel can show the elapsed time up to 60 minutes. By setting it before
diving, you can know how many minutes you are underwater.
● To prevent accidental rotation, the rotating bezel is so designed that rotation
becomes harder in water. Also for safty's sake, it roatates only counterclockwise,
so that the time measured is never shorter than the actual elapsed time.
1. Turn the rotating bezel to align its “ ” mark with the minute hand.
* The rotating bezel rotates with clicks. With each click, it turns half a minutes
2. To know the elapsed time, read the number on the rotating bezel that the minute
hand points to.
Example:
Minute hand
"30" on rotating bezel
30 minutes have elapsed.

NOTES FOR USING THE WATCH
HOW TO CHARGE AND START THE WATCH
● To charge the KINETIC E.S.U. efficiently, swing the watch from side to side, making an arc of about 20 cm.
English
● No additional benefit is obtained by swinging the watch more quickly or with greater vigor.
● When the watch is swung, the oscillating weight in the generating system rotates to drive the mechanism.
As it rotates, it gives out a sound, which is not a malfunction.
● When the watch has been left untouched for more than one year after it completely stopped, the second
hand may not start moving at normal one-second intervals even if the watch is swung the number of times
indicated in “NUMBER OF SWINGS AND POWER RESERVE”. In this case, swing the watch further until
the second hand starts moving at one-second intervals.
● The watch is equipped with a system to prevent overcharge. Even if it is further swung after being fully
charged, no malfunction will result.
● Some models are equipped with an instant-start function, and the watch may start operating after it is
swung several times. For details, see “INSTANT-START FUNCTION”.
● It is not necessary to charge the watch fully, as it is charged automatically while it is worn on your wrist.
● Wear the watch daily for at least 10 hours.
● Even if the watch is worn on your arm, it will not be charged while your arm is not in motion.
POWER RESERVE INDICATOR
● The power reserve indicator provides only a general guideline of the duration within which the watch keeps
operating without needing to be charged.
● You can immediately press the button again to recheck the power reserve one more time. To do so a third
time, however, wait until the second hand resumes normal movement before pressing the button again.
● When the second hand moves at two-second intervals, the power reserve is very low and the indicator
does not function.
12
Page 13
● Immediately after the watch is swung to charge the KINETIC E.S.U., the second hand may not properly
indicate the power reserve. Please check again after 10 to 15 minutes have elapsed.
● Precaution on see-through case-back models:
If your watch has a glass case back, do not expose the case back to strong light such as direct sunlight
or an incandescent light at close range, as this may temporarily increase the power consumption of the
watch circuit, thus reducing the power reserve in the KINETIC E.S.U. This condition, however, will be
corrected when the case back is turned away from the light.
TIME/CALENDAR SETTING
● For Cal. 5M62, do not set the calendar between 9:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m. For Cal. 5M63, do not set the
calendar between 9:00 p.m. and 3:00 a.m. Otherwise, it may not change properly. If it is necessary to set
the calendar during that time period, first change the time to any time outside it, set the calendar and then
reset the correct time.
● To set the exact time, pull out the crown all the way when the second hand is at the 12 o’clock position
and push it back in to the normal position in accordance with a time signal.
● When setting the hour hand, check that AM/PM is correctly set. The watch is so designed that the calendar
changes once in 24 hours.
Turn the hands past the 12 o’clock marker to determine whether the watch is set for the A.M. or P.M.
period. If the calendar changes, the time is set for the A.M. period. If the calendar does not change, the
time is set for the P.M. period.
● When setting the minute hand, advance it 4 to 5 minutes ahead of the desired time and then turn it back
to the exact minute.
● When setting the time, make sure that the second hand is moving at one-second intervals.
● It is necessary to adjust the date at the end of February and 30-day months. In this case, pull out the crown
to the first click and turn it until the desired date appears.

PRECAUTIONS
Before diving, make sure that the watch operates normally and be sure to observe the
precautions described below.
English
Do not attempt to dive using the watch unless you have been properly trained in
diving.
Abide by the rules of diving for safety’s sake.
BEFORE DIVING
● Do not use the watch for saturation diving using helium gas .
● To measure the elasped time while you are underwater, always use the rotating bezel.
● Check that:
• the second hand is moving at one-second intervals.
• the crown is locked tightly in place.
• there are no visible cracks in the crystal or the watch band.
• the strap or bracelet is securely fastened to the watch case.
• the buckle keeps the strap or bracelet firmly secured to the wrist.
• the rotating bezel turns counterclockwise smoothly (the rotation must not be too loose or too tight)
and the “ ” mark aligns with the minute hand.
• the time and calendar are appropriately set.
If there are any malfunctions, we recommend that you contact an AUTHORIZED SEIKO SERVICE
CENTER.
14
Page 15
WHILE DIVING
● Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet or in water.
● Take care not to hit the watch against hard objects such as rocks.
● Bezel rotation may become slightly harder in the water but this is not a malfunction.
AFTER DIVING
● After checking that the crown is screwed in completely, rinse the watch in fresh water, and wash out all
seawater, soil, sand, etc.
● After cleaning the watch in fresh water, be sure to wipe it thoroughly dry to prevent possible rust on the

■ TEMPERATURES
Your watch works with stable accuracy within a temperature range of 5° C
+60°C
and 35° C (41° F and 95° F). Temperatures over 60° C (140° F) may cause
-10°C
battery leakage or shorten the battery life. Do not leave your watch in very
low temperatures below –10° C (+14° F) for a long time since the cold may
cause a slight time loss or gain. However, the above conditions will be
corrected when the watch returns to normal temperature.
■ MAGNETISM
N
Your watch will be
adversely affected by
strong magnetism.
Keep it away from
close contact with
magnetic objects.

LUMIBRITE
LumiBrite is a luminous paint that is completely harmless to human beings and the natural
environment, containing no noxious materials such as radioactive substances.
LumiBrite is a newly-developed luminous paint that absorbs the light energy of sunlight or artificial
English
light in a short time and stores it to emit light in the dark.
For example, if exposed to a light of more than 500 lux for approximately 10 minutes, LumiBrite
can emit light for 5 to 8 hours.
Please note, however, that, as LumiBrite emits the light it stores, the luminance level of the light
decreases gradually over time. The duration of the emitted light may also differ slightly depending
on such factors as the brightness of the place where the watch is exposed to light and the distance
from the light source to the watch.
When you make a dive in dark water, LumiBrite may not emit light unless it has absorbed and
stored light sufficiently.
Before diving, therefore, be sure to expose the watch to light under the conditions specified
above, so that it fully absorbs and stores light energy. Otherwise, use the watch together with an
underwater flashlight.
