Full details

This Seiko 5 Automatic Watch is designed for the modern gentleman who appreciates classic design with reliable automatic movement. Its key benefit is the elegant gold-tone finish and striking black dial, offering a sophisticated look for various occasions. A potential caveat is its 30m water resistance, meaning it's suitable for everyday wear but not for swimming or immersion. This watch features a durable gold plated stainless steel case and bracelet, a precise 21-jewel automatic movement, a day-date display, and a see-through caseback.

FAQs

Does this watch require a battery?

No, this is an automatic watch. It is powered by the movement of your wrist, thanks to its internal 21-jewel automatic movement.

How do I set the day and date?

Pull the crown out to the first position and turn it to set the day and date. Be careful not to set the time between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can damage the movement.

Is this watch suitable for swimming?

No, the watch has a water resistance rating of 30 meters, which is only suitable for accidental splashes and light rain. It is not recommended for swimming, showering, or immersion in water.

How often does the watch need servicing?

It is recommended to have automatic watches serviced every 2 to 4 years by a qualified watchmaker to ensure their continued accuracy and longevity.

What is the material of the case and bracelet?

The case and bracelet are made of gold plated stainless steel.

What is the case diameter?

Can I see the movement?

Troubleshooting

Watch has stopped running

Gently shake the watch for 30 seconds to wind the mainspring. If it continues to stop, it may need servicing.

Day/Date is not changing correctly

Ensure you are setting the day/date correctly between 9 PM and 3 AM. Avoid setting the time within this period to prevent damage to the movement. Consult the manual for precise instructions.

Watch is losing or gaining time significantly

Minor time deviations are normal for automatic watches. If the deviation is significant (more than a minute per day), the watch may require regulation by a professional watchmaker.

Bracelet feels loose or tight

The bracelet can be adjusted by a jeweler or watch repair shop by adding or removing links. Some models may have micro-adjustments on the clasp.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

To start your Seiko 5 automatic watch, gently shake it back and forth for about 30 seconds to wind the mainspring. You can then set the time and day/date by pulling the crown to the appropriate positions. Refer to the specific crown functions for your model (usually 1st click for day/date, 2nd click for time).

Compatibility:

This watch is a standalone timepiece and does not require compatibility with other devices. The stainless steel bracelet is designed to fit most standard wrist sizes, though adjustments may be needed.

Care:

Cleaning: Wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth, ensuring no moisture enters the watch. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Winding: If the watch is stopped, wind it by shaking for 30 seconds or manually winding the crown if your model supports it.
Water Resistance: Avoid exposing the watch to water beyond its 30m rating. Do not operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet.
Service: Automatic watches benefit from periodic servicing (typically every 2-4 years) by a qualified watchmaker to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
