Make sure to read the following instructions before use and strictly observe them.

CAUTION

Make sure to read the following instructions before use and strictly observe them.

For proper and safe use of your SEIKO watch,

please read carefully the instructions in this

booklet before using it.

Keep this manual handy for easy reference.

* Length adjustment service for metallic bands is available at the retailer from

whom the watch was purchased. If you cannot have your watch repaired by the retailer from whom the watch was purchased because you received the watch as a gift, or you moved to a distant place, please contact SEIKO CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER. The service may also be available on a chargeable basis at other retailers, however, some retailers may not undertake the service.

* If your watch has a protective film for preventing scratches, make sure to peel

it off before using the watch. If the watch is used with the film on it, dirt, sweat, dust, or moisture may be attached to the film and may cause rust.

b WARNING

When diving, never carry out operations other than those specified in this instruction manual. Mishandling of the product and misunderstanding of the displayed content may lead to a fatal or serious accident.

WARNING

The diver’s watch is an auxiliary instrument which mainly displays the passage of time and does not ensure the safety of a user. Use this watch while using the equipment (residual pressure gauge, water depth meter, etc.) required for safe diving.

WARNING

This watch supports usage in saturation diving. Ensure you have the skills and experience necessary for saturation diving; that you have fully familiarized yourself with watch operation and handling; and that you check the watch each time before diving. If these items have not been confirmed, then do not carry out saturation diving using this watch.

b CAUTION

Inspect the following items before diving:

• The watch is normally operating.

• The remaining battery level is sufficient and the mainspring is sufficiently wound.

• The rotating bezel turns smoothly. (The bezel rotation must not be too loose or too tight.)

• Screws of the crown and other parts are reliably tightened.

• No abnormalities such as flaws or cracks exist on the band or glass.

• The band is reliably fixed (with spring bar, buckle or other parts.)

* If any abnormality is observed in the above items, do not use this watch for diving.

b CAUTION

Do not operate the crown or buttons underwater.

CAUTION

As the use environment of the diver’s watch may affect not only the case or band but also the internal mechanism of the watch, we recommend that you periodically request an overhaul for inspection and adjustment approximately once every two to three years.

Do not turn or pull out the crown when the watch is wet.

Water may get inside of the watch.

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 SEIKO CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER.

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.

Steam, soap or some components of a hot spring may accelerate the deterioration of water resistant performance of the watch.

HOW TO USE

HOW TO USE

■ Before diving

Before diving, check the following:

* “Names of the parts and their functions” → P. 16

The time is correctly set.

Turn the crown to wind up the

watch so that it does not stop in the water.

* “Screw down crown” → P. 17 * “How to wind the mainspring” → P. 18

The rotating bezel turns

smoothly. (The bezel rotation must not be too loose or too tight.)

* “How to use the rotating bezel” → P. 24

or SEIKO CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER.

HOW TO USE

■ While diving

HOW TO USE

Please observe the following cautions for use.

■ After diving

Please follow the care instructions below after diving.

The watch can be used for air diving or saturation diving within the water resistant range displayed on the dial.

Take care not to bump the watch against hard objects such as rocks.

Do not operate the crown or buttons underwater.

Bezel rotation may become slightly harder in the water but this is not a malfunction.

Rinse the watch in fresh water to wash out all seawater and wipe it thoroughly dry to prevent rust. Avoid pouring running water onto the watch directly from a faucet. Put some water into a bowl first, and then soak the watch in the water to wash it.
