■HOW TO USE
※How to use the automatic mechanical watch (9S51・9S55・9S56)
This is an automatic mechanical watch with manual winding mechanism.
・If the watch is worn on the wrist, the mainspring will be wound automatically
through normal wrist movement.
It can also be wound up by turning the crown.
・To start the watch after it stops completely, wind it up either by turning the
crown or swinging it from side to side until the second hand starts moving.

・To wind up the watch by turning the crown, turn it clockwise slowly. The
watch cannot be wound by turning the crown counterclockwise.
About 40 turns of the crown will wind up the watch fully. Please note that the
crown can be turned even after the watch is wound up fully.
・Once the watch is wound up fully, it operates for about 50 hours. (If the watch
is used without being wound up fully, gain or loss of time may result. To avoid
this, wear the watch for more than 10 hours a day.) If the watch is used
without wearing on the wrist ; if it is used on the desk, for example : be sure
to wind it up fully every day at a fixed time.

<Time difference adjustment>
Time difference adjustment enables you to adjust the hour hand only in one-hour increments by
easy operation without stopping the minute and second hands. It is convenient when adjusting the
time based on a different time zone while you travel abroad.
■How to determine the time differences between two areas
●Before making the time difference adjustment, it is necessary to obtain the time differences
between the two areas.
〈How to calculate the time differences〉
Assuming that you move from time zone "A" to time zone "B" and that the time difference from
GMT for the two time zones are "a" and "b", respectively, the time difference between them can
be obtained from the following formula:〔b〕―〔a〕
16
〈Example：If you move from Japan to New York〉
Time difference from GMT for Japan,
time zone A:〔a〕＝＋9
Time difference from GMT for New York,
time zone B:〔b〕＝－5
○Time difference between the two cities is:
〔b〕―〔a〕＝（－5）－（＋9）＝（－14）hours
※Time difference from GMT is shown in P.18.

■REMARKS ON REPLACEMENT PARTS
・SEIKO makes it a normal policy to keep a stock of spare parts for
GRAND SEIKO watches for 10 years. In principle, your watch can be
reconditioned within this period if used normally. (Replacement parts
are those which are essential to maintain the functional integrity of the
watch.)
・The number of years that a watch is considered reparable may vary
greatly depending on the conditions under which it is used, and
original accuracy may not be achieved in some cases. We recommend,
therefore, that you consult the retailer from whom the watch was
purchased when having your watch repaired.
30
・The case, dial, hands, glass and bracelet, or parts thereof may be
replaced with substitutes if the originals are not available.
