  • Page 2 Please check the case back of your watch to find its calibre number inscribed on it. As illustrated below, the calibre number of your watch is the 4-digit number to the left of the hyphen mark. This booklet includes the instructions for the following watch calibre numbers: Cal. 3M22, 4M21, 5M42 and 5M43.

  • Page 5 The AUTOMATIC POWER GENERATOR Arm movement is the energy source which sets the oscillating weight in motion. This, in turn, causes the rotor to spin even faster than an F1 racing car engine. The result is an electric current which is produced by the coil. This is stored by the capacitor, which supplies the circuit block with power to drive the watch as needed.
  • Page 6 ® SEIKO KINETIC is a revolutionary watch that has realized the long-cherished dream of a “perpetual energy source”. Unlike mechanical watches or conventional quartz watches, it requires no windup springs or batteries. Instead, it utilizes the movement of the wearer as its power source.

    ® Cal. 3M22/4M21/5M42/5M43 is an analogue watch featuring an Automatic Power Generator newly developed by SEIKO. It generates the electrical energy to power the watch, utilizing the movement of the arm, and stores it in a capacitor. Therefore, the watch does not use a battery. The watch is also equipped with a power reserve indicator and an energy depletion forewarning function so that its constant operation can be assured.
  • Page 9 The watch is provided with a capacitor to store the electrical energy generated by the Automatic Power Generator. Cal. 3M22/4M21 : When the watch is fully charged, the watch keeps operating for more than 3 days. Cal. 5M42/5M43 : When the capacitor is fully charged, the watch keeps operating for more than 7 days.

    2. After the watch is swung about 100 times, the second hand starts moving at one- second intervals. * There will be about 3 hours (Cal. 3M22/4M21) / 6 hours (Cal. 5M42/5M43) of power reserve available. 3. Swing the watch further about 400 times (Cal. 3M22/4M21) / 300 to 400 times (Cal.
  • Page 13 * There will be about 1 day (Cal. 3M22/4M21) / 2 days (Cal. 5M42/5M43) of power available. * It is not necessary to charge the capacitor fully before you wear the watch. While the watch is on your arm, the Automatic Power Generator will ensure constant operation.

An additional 600 to 750 swings, 1,400 to 1,750 swings in total, will reserve more than 7 days of power, and fully charge the capacitor. * The watch is equipped with a system to prevent overcharge.

  • Page 17: Power Reserve Indicator

    POWER RESERVE INDICATOR The current power reserve of the capacitor can be checked instantly by using the power reserve indicator function. 1. Press the button at the 2 o’clock position. The second hand moves quickly and stops. 2. The number of seconds that the second hand advances indicates the power reserve in the capacitor.
  • Page 18 When the second hand advances 30 seconds at a press of the button, the capacitor is fully charged and the watch will keep operating for more than 3 days (Cal. 3M22/ 4M21) / 7 days (Cal. 5M42/5M43). It can continue operating for a maximum of 7 days (Cal.
  • Page 19 1. To allow easy reading of the second hand, we recommend that the button be pressed when the second hand is at the 12 o’clock position. When the second hand points to “LO”, the capacitor has a power reserve of between 1 and 2 days (Cal. 3M22/4M21) / 2 and 4 days (Cal. 5M42/5M43).

  • Page 20: Energy Depletion Forewarning Function

    This function is available as long as: the watch previously had more than 2 days (Cal. 3M22/4M21) / 4 days (Cal. 5M42/5M43) of power reserve before it stopped. it has been left untouched for 1 to 4 weeks.

    * After you swing the watch several times and note that the hands are moving, be sure to put it on your wrist so that it will be charged further until the second hand is moving at one-second intervals. Note: If the second hand continues moving at two-second intervals after the watch is put on your wrist, swing it from side to side until the second hand starts moving at one-second intervals, and then, put in on your wrist.
