Grand Seiko watches are designed and manufactured to operate with extremely high accuracy by taking advantage of SEIKO's more than 100 years of experience in watchmaking 52 and the advanced technology that SEIKO can boast to the world. To preserve the highest quality of your Grand Seiko watch, please read the instructions in this booklet carefully for its proper use and care, and keep this booklet for ready reference. Spring Drive, the unique mechanism made available only by SEIKO technology, ensures quartz accuracy while using the mainspring as its sole power source. With Spring Drive as its basic structure, the Spring Drive Chronograph features the world's first center chronograph second hand which works in a perfectly smooth movement. In addition to the self-winding mechanism, which uses the natural motion of the wearer's arm as a power source to wind its mainspring, the watch is equipped with the manual winding mechanism, which is convenient to wind the mainspring when you start using the watch. The watch keeps working for approximately 72 hours (three days) when the mainspring is fully wound. The watch features the power reserve indicator to show the winding state of the mainspring. The glide-motion small second hand that moves in a perfectly smooth movement is one of the remarkable features of this watch. The watch is also equipped with a 24-hour hand, offering a time difference adjustment function, which works in conjunction with the calendar. ※ For the details of the Spring Drive mechanism, refer to the separate volume "Spring Drive Handbook". CAUTION Spring Drive works by the power provided by the mainspring. Remember to check the power reserve indicator and keep the mainspring of the watch sufficiently wound while using the watch.

When the watch is worn on the wrist, the motion of the wearer's arm winds the mainspring of the watch. When first using a stopped watch, it is recommended that you manually wind the mainspring by turning the crown. ●Guide for winding state of the mainspring 60 Self-winding:: The mainspring of the watch is designed to be fully wound when it is worn for twelve hours per day for three to five consecutive days. Manual winding: Five full rotations of the crown will provide the power to run the watch for approximately ten hours. Observe the power reserve indicator to check the level of the remaining power. Refer to "POWER RESERVE INDICATOR" on page 62. ※ The watch employs a device to prevent overwinding of the mainspring. Once the mainspring is fully wound, the mainspring slips inside, disengaging the winding mechanism. When this happens, you can still turn the crown without damaging the watch, however, please refrain from excessive operation of the mainspring. ※ Under a low-temperature condition (below 0℃), always keep at least one-sixth of the watch power shown by the power reserve indicator. ●How to manually wind the mainspring by turning the crown 1. Unlock the crown. 2. Slowly turn the crown clockwise (upward) to wind the mainspring with extra care not to press it in. Wind the mainspring until the power reserve indicator shows a full-wound state. The small second hand starts moving. 3. Once you finish winding the mainspring, make sure you relock the crown. ※ Refer to "How to use the screw lock type crown" on page 57. ※ Refer to "How to read the power reserve indicator" on page 63. In order to set the time and calendar after winding the mainspring manually, do not relock the crown but continue the procedures. ※ Refer to "How to set the time and calendar" on page 64. 61 ■POWER RESERVE INDICATOR ●HOW TO READ THE POWER RESERVE INDICATOR The power reserve indicator lets you know the winding state of the mainspring. 62 Power Reserve Indicator Before removing the watch from your wrist, observe the power reserve indicator to check if the watch has stored enough power to keep running until the next time you wear it. If necessary, wind the mainspring. (To prevent the watch from stopping, wind the mainspring to store the excess power that will allow the watch to run for extra time.) Power reserve indicator ※ The continuous operable time of the watch may vary depending on actual use conditions, such as the number of hours you wear the watch or the extent of your movement while wearing it. ※ In a case where you wear the watch for a short period of time, observe the power reserve indicator to check the level of the remaining power. If necessary, manually wind the mainspring. ■HOW TO SET THE TIME AND CALENDAR To set the time and calendar, set the 24-hour hand and minute hand first, and then set the hour hand and calendar. ●How to set the time ※ When setting the date and time, ensure that the watch is working. 2.
