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.
■ TO PRESERVE THE QUALITY OF YOUR WATCH
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 ben
-
zene, 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.
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.

WARNING
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.
The case back shows the caliber and performance of your watch
※ The above figures are examples. Both of them may be different from the figure on the
case back of your watch.

・ GALANTE 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 en
-
counters a strong magnetic field, thereby accuracy may go out of order. Pay atten-
tion so as not to bring the instrument close to equipment (health appliances, speak-
ers, 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 readjust-
ment works are charged regardless of the guarantee period.
● MAGNETIC RESISTANCE
・ Examples of common items that generate a magnetic field
● Magnetized items that may affect watches
・ Speaker of audio instruments, radios, ear-
phones, mobile phone
・Magnetic clips ・ Magnetic accessories
・ Magnetic health equipment (such
as magnetic plasters, magnetic
pillows, magnetic back belts etc.)
・ Magnetic door seal of
refrigerator or furniture
・ Magnetic buckle of handbags or purses

・ 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
power-transmitting wheels. To ensure these parts work together properly, periodic in-
spection including cleaning of parts and movement, oiling, adjustment of accuracy, func-
tional 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.
According to use conditions, the oil retaining condition of your watch mechanical parts
may deteriorate, abrasion of the parts may occur due to contamination of oil, which may
ultimately lead the watch itself to stop. As the parts such as gasket may deteriorate,
water-resistant performance may be impaired due to intrusion of perspiration and
moisture. Please contact the retailer from whom the watch was purchased for inspection
and adjustment by disassembly and cleaning (overhaul). For replacement of parts, please
specify “SEIKO GENUINE PARTS.” When asking for inspection and adjustment by
disassembly and cleaning (overhaul), make sure that the gasket and push pin are also
replaced with new ones.
For any questions or concerns, contact the “CUSTOMER SERVICE
DEPARTMENT” of SEIKO WATCH CORPORATION.
● Inspection and adjustment by disassembly and cleaning (overhaul)
・ 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.
・ 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.
