Band

The band touches the skin directly and becomes dirty from sweat or dust. Therefore, lack of care may accelerate deterioration of the band or cause skin irritation or stain on the sleeve edge. The watch requires a lot of attention for long usage.

Metallic band

○ Moisture, sweat or soil will cause rust even on a stainless steel band

if they are left for a long time.

Magnetic resistance (Magnetic influence)

Affected by nearby magnetism, a watch may temporarily gain or lose time or stop operating.

away from magnetic products.

 

○ Lack of care may cause a yellowish or gold stain on the lower sleeve edge of shirts.

○ Wipe off moisture, sweat or soil with a soft cloth as soon as possible.

○ To clean the soil around the joint gaps of the band, wipe it out in water

and then brush it off with a soft toothbrush (Protect the watch body from

water splashes by wrapping it up in plastic wrap etc.).

○ Because some titanium bracelets use pins made of stainless steel, which

has outstanding strength, rust may form in the stainless steel parts.

○ If rust advances, pins may poke out or drop out, and the watch case

may fall off the bracelet, or the clasp may not open.

Keep the watch more than 1 cm away from magnetic products.

The watch can maintain its performance in most cases where it is brought close to (at least 1cm spaced from) magnetic products not only in normal daily life circumstances but also in a special work environments.

○ If a pin is poking out, personal injury may result. In such a case, refrain

from using the watch and request repair.

Leather band

○A leather band is susceptible to discoloration and deterioration from moisture, sweat and direct sunlight.

○Wipe off moisture and sweat as soon as possible by gently blotting them up with a dry cloth.

○Do not expose the watch to direct sunlight for a long time.

○Please take care when wearing a watch with light-colored band, as dirt is likely to show up.

○Refrain from wearing a leather band watch other than Aqua Free bands while bathing, swimming, and when working with water even if the watch itself is water-resistant enforced for daily use (10-BAR/20-BAR water resistant).

Polyurethane band

○A polyurethane band is susceptible to discoloration from light, and may be deteriorated by solvent or atmospheric humidity.

○Especially a translucent, white, or pale colored band easily adsorbs other colors, resulting in color smears or discoloration.

○Wash out dirt in water and clean it off with a dry cloth. (Protect the watch body from water splashes by wrapping it up in plastic wrap etc.)

○When the band becomes less flexible, have the band replaced with a new one. If you continue to use the band as it is, the band may develop cracks or become brittle over time.

Notes on skin irritation and allergy

Skin irritation caused by a band has various reasons such as allergy to metals or leathers, or skin reactions against friction on dust or the band itself.

Notes on the length of the band

Adjust the band to allow a little clearance with your wrist to ensure proper airflow. When wearing the watch, leave enough room to insert a finger between the band and your wrist.

If the watch becomes magnetized and its accuracy deteriorates to an extent exceeding the specified rate under normal use, the watch may need to be demagnetized. In this case, you will be charged for demagnetization and accuracy readjustment even if it happens within the guarantee period.

The reason why this watch is affected by magnetism

The built-in speed-regulating mechanism is provided with a magnet, which may be influenced by a strong external magnetic field.

9R15, 9R65 specifications

The Seiko 9R series is a remarkable line of mechanical watches featuring Spring Drive technology, a hallmark of precision and innovation. Among its esteemed models, the 9R65 and 9R15 movements stand out for their unique characteristics and advancements.

The 9R65 movement is known for its impressive power reserve of up to 72 hours, which is significant for a watch powered by a spring-driven mechanism. This makes it extremely reliable for everyday wear, as users can take the watch off for a weekend without worrying about it stopping. One of the most notable features of the 9R65 is its smooth and continuous movement of the second hand, a signature of Spring Drive technology. Instead of ticking like traditional mechanical watches, the 9R65 provides a seamless glide, offering a visual experience that is both captivating and elegant.

On the other hand, the 9R15 movement, while sharing some similarities with the 9R65, takes the craftsmanship a step further with its chronograph function. This feature allows users to accurately measure elapsed time, making it ideal for sports enthusiasts and those who require precision timing. The 9R15 has a power reserve of approximately 60 hours, ensuring that it maintains its functionality over an extended period. Its robust design is complemented by the familiar Spring Drive mechanism, ensuring that while it offers additional functionality, it does not compromise on the smoothness and reliability typical of Seiko.

Both movements utilize Seiko’s advanced Spring Drive technology, which combines the best elements of mechanical and quartz watchmaking. This unique hybrid system allows for unparalleled accuracy, with variations of just one second per day, which is exceptional for a mechanical watch. Furthermore, the 9R series features a durable construction, incorporating high-quality materials such as stainless steel and ceramic, enhancing their longevity and resistance to wear.

In conclusion, the Seiko 9R65 and 9R15 movements exemplify the brand’s commitment to innovation, precision, and durability. Whether you prefer the minimalist elegance of the 9R65 or the added complexity of the chronograph in the 9R15, both options promise an exceptional blend of technology and artistry that showcases Seiko's prowess in horology. These movements not only cater to the demands of modern watch enthusiasts but also pay homage to the intricate traditions of watchmaking, making them a desirable choice for collectors and aficionados alike.
