To Preserve The Quality Of Your Watch - Seiko 9R66 Instruction

■TO PRESERVE THE QUALITY OF YOUR WATCH

CAUTION
CARE OF YOUR WATCH
The case and bracelet touch the skin directly just as underwear.
If they are left dirty, the edge of sleeve may be stained with rust of those who have a
delicate skin may have a rash.
After removing the watch from your wrist, wipe perspiration or moisture with a soft
cloth. This will prevent the watch from being soiled, adding to the life of the gasket.
Do not clean the watch with chemicals (especially with organic solvents such as
76
benzene, thinner, alcohol, detergent, etc.). Otherwise, the watch may be deteriorated.
LEATHER BAND
When removing moisture from a leather band, do not rub the band with the cloth as
they may discolor it or reduce its gloss. Be sure to blot up the moisture using a soft
dry cloth.
Please note that leather bands may become less durable when they are moistened.
METAL BRACELET
Clean the watch bracelet with a soft toothbrush dipped in water or soapy water.
CAUTION
Water resistance
・ Check the dial or case back of your watch for the water resistant quality, and then see the
table below.
・ Do not turn or pull out the crown when the watch is wet, as water may get inside the watch.

●Magnetic resistance
Grand Seiko 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 magnetic field in normal
life. However, the movement part is magnetized when it encounters 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 accuracy readjustment works are
charged regardless of the guarantee period.
●Places to keep your watch
・ 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.
82
・ 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.
Indication of
Antimagnetic quality
the case back
The watch has magnetic resistance to
maintain performance in most cases
where it is brought close to (at least
5cm spaced from) equipment generating
a magnetic field in normal life.
CAUTION
Rash and allergy
Adjust the bracelet and band so that there will be a little clearance between the
bracelet or band and your wrist to avoid accumulation of perspiration.
If you are constitutionally predisposed to rash, the band may cause you to develop a
rash or an itch depending on your physical condition.
The possible cause of the rash are as follows:
1. Allergy to metals or leathers
2. Rust, dust or perspiration on the watch or band
If you develop any skin reactions, take off the watch and consult a doctor immediately.
WARNING
Water resistance
・ If your watch is 3 bar water resistant, do not use it in water.
・ If your watch is 5 bar water resistant, do not use it in any type of diving including
skin diving.
・ If your watch is 10 or 20 bar water resistant, do not use it in saturation diving or
scuba diving.

●Inspection and adjustment by disassembly and cleaning (overhaul)
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 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 pow-
er-transmitting wheels. To ensure these parts work together properly, periodic inspection
including cleaning of parts and movement, oiling, adjustment of accuracy, functional 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.
Contact the retailer from whom the watch was purchased for inspection and adjustment by dis-
assembly and cleaning (overhaul) of your watch. Make sure that the gasket and push pin will be
also replaced with new ones.
