Seiko 5M63 Watch User Manual

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. 3M62 and 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 oclock 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 oclock 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.
