To set the time on your Seiko 5R64, first unscrew the crown to position 1. Pull the crown out to position 2. Turn the crown to set the correct time, ensuring the hands are moving in a clockwise direction. Push the crown back in and screw it tightly to maintain water resistance.
The Seiko 5R64 Spring Drive Watch has a power reserve of approximately 72 hours when fully wound.
To manually wind your Seiko 5R64, unscrew the crown to position 1. Turn the crown clockwise approximately 30 times to fully wind the mainspring. Avoid over-winding to prevent damage.
If your watch is running slow, it could be due to insufficient winding or exposure to magnets. Ensure it is fully wound and try demagnetizing the watch. If the issue persists, consult a professional watchmaker.
The Seiko 5R64 is water-resistant up to 100 meters. Ensure the crown is fully screwed down before exposure to water. Regularly check the seals and gaskets for wear and have them replaced every few years as part of routine maintenance.
Regular maintenance includes periodic cleaning, lubrication, and seal replacement every 3 to 5 years. This helps in maintaining precision and water resistance.
Press the top button to start the chronograph. Press again to stop. The lower button resets the chronograph to zero. Ensure the crown is securely screwed down during use.
Pull the crown to the first click, then turn it clockwise to set the correct date. Avoid changing the date between 9 PM and 3 AM to prevent damage to the date mechanism.
To protect your watch from scratches, avoid wearing it during activities that involve heavy contacts, and consider using a protective case or covering when not in use.
While the Seiko 5R64 is designed for durability, it is advisable to avoid wearing it during high-impact sports to prevent damage. Consider using a sports watch for such activities.
