Precautions on Wearing Your Watch

English

*When taking a shower while wearing a water resistant 5 bar watch, or taking a bath while wearing a water resistant 10, 15 or 20 bar watch, make sure to observe the following:

•Do not operate the crown when the watch is wet with soapy water or shampoo.

•If the watch is left in warm water, a slight time loss or gain may be caused.

This condition, however, will be corrected when the watch returns to normal temperature.

NOTE:

Pressure in bar is a test pressure and should not be considered as corresponding to an actual diving depth since swimming movements tend to increase the pressure at a given depth. Care should also be taken when diving with the watch into water.

•Exercise care when you hold an infant or small child while wearing the watch on your wrist, as the infant or child may be injured or develop an allergic reaction caused by direct contact with the watch.

•Avoid undue shocks such as dropping or scratching against hard surfaces or playing active sports, which may cause temporary malfunctions.

•There is a possibility of injury caused by wearing the watch on your wrist especially if you fall down or bump into other people or objects.

LUMIBRITETM

LumiBrite is a luminous paint that is completely harmless to human beings and the natural environment, containing no noxious materials such as radioactive substances.

LumiBrite is a newly-developed luminous paint that absorbs the light energy of sunlight or artificial light in a short time and stores it to emit light in the dark.

For example, if exposed to a light of more than 500 lux for approximately 10 minutes, LumiBrite can emit light for 5 to 8 hours.

Please note, however, that, as LumiBrite emits the light it stores, the luminance level of the light decreases gradually over time. The duration of the emitted light may also differ slightly depending on such factors as the brightness of the place where the watch is exposed to light and the distance from the light source to the watch.

When you make a dive in dark water, LumiBrite may not emit light unless it has absorbed and stored light sufficiently.

Before diving, therefore, be sure to expose the watch to light under the conditions specified above, so that it fully absorbs and stores light energy. Otherwise, use the watch together with an underwater flashlight.

6S28 specifications

Seiko Group's 6S28 movement is an exemplary piece of horological engineering that showcases the brand's commitment to precision and innovation. This automatic movement is primarily known for its use in some of Seiko's popular watches, combining both traditional craftsmanship and modern technology.

One of the defining features of the 6S28 movement is its robustness. With a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour, it ensures a high level of accuracy, making it a reliable choice for enthusiasts and everyday wearers alike. This frequency, standard for many of Seiko’s higher-end movements, allows for a smoother sweep of the second hand, which is not only visually appealing but also enhances timekeeping precision.

The 6S28 movement boasts a power reserve of approximately 45 hours, providing ample time between winding sessions. This is particularly advantageous for users who may not wear their watches daily, allowing the timepiece to remain operational without requiring frequent winding. Additionally, the movement incorporates a hacking mechanism, enabling users to set the time with precise accuracy by stopping the second hand when adjusting the hour and minute hands.

A key technological highlight of the 6S28 is its use of Seiko's proprietary escapement design, which minimizes friction and enhances durability. This allows the movement to be less susceptible to wear and tear, prolonging the life of the watch. Furthermore, the 6S28 features a date complication, conveniently positioned for easy readability, enhancing its practical use for daily wear.

Another notable characteristic of the 6S28 is its anti-magnetic properties. This is particularly important for a modern watch, as magnetic fields are omnipresent in today’s environment and can adversely affect timekeeping precision. The inclusion of anti-magnetic materials within the movement adds a layer of reliability that is appreciated by both watch collectors and casual wearers.

In terms of design, the 6S28 movement is elegantly finished, with various details that reflect Seiko's dedication to aesthetic value. The movement is often visible through transparent case backs, allowing wearers to appreciate the intricate workings of the mechanism.

Overall, the Seiko Group's 6S28 movement merges functionality with craftsmanship in a way that meets the high standards of modern horology. Its blend of advanced technology, reliability, and aesthetics makes it a sought-after choice for watch enthusiasts seeking a timepiece that embodies both heritage and innovation.
