To check how long the watch can operate on its current charge, wait until the second hand is in the 12 o’clock position and press the button at the 2 o’clock position on the watch case. The power reserve indicator function shows how much energy is stored in the watch’s capacitor. When the second hand begins to move in one second intervals, the watch has stored at least three hours of power and is ready to be set. As you swing the watch, the oscillating weight in the generating system may give out a small sound as it rotates. Gently swing the watch from side to side in a small arc for two to three minutes. SEIKO KINETIC watches must be charged before they are set. They convert energy created by the movement of the wrist into electricity which is stored, regulated and released with perfect quartz accuracy. SEIKO KINETIC watches are marvels of brilliantly applied technology. STEP MOTOR UNITĬonverts electric signals into rotational motion to move the hands.įinally, the electrical signal is converted into a precise rotational motion which is transmitted through the hands through the gear train. When electricity is passed to it, it oscilllates at a highly stable rate of 32,768 times a second. Vital to the process, this electronic circuit controls voltage, amps and by quartz oscillation, produces a precise watch signal. The electrical energy is stored in this tiny technological marvel. Stores and supplies the generated electricity. It can spin up to 100,000 RPM-faster than a Formula One race car.Įxtremely high density coil transforms the magnetic charge into the electricity to power the watch. Every movement of the oscillating weight is turned into a magnetic charge. This amplifies the rotational movement of the oscillating weight 100 fold and transfers it to the rotor. The everyday movement of your wrist rotates the oscillating weight. Transforms the movement of the wearer into electricity. KINETIC ELECTRICALLY CHARGED EVERY TIME YOU MOVE YOUR BODY. To disengage, push crown 2 back into normal position.To stop it, press button “A”, “B” or “C”.

Alarm rings at the designated time for 20 seconds.To engage, pull crown 2 out to first click.Push crown 2 back into normal position.Press button “C” to set small hands to the desired alarm time.**.Pull crown 2 out to second click and turn to set small alarm hands to the current time, then push back crown 2 into normal position.Press A when the second competitor finishes, then press B to see the finish time. Press button B to see the time for the first finisher. Press A at the end of the race, then use B to reset. Press B to check the time for one segment of the race, the press B again to return to a display of total running time. Use button B to reset after the match is over. To record elapsed time, use button A to start, stop and restart as often as required. To measure how long it takes someone to go from point A to point B, simply push button A to stop and start the stopwatch, which displays time in the subdials, and use button B to reset. The chronograph functions are operated by pressing the buttons on the side of the case. split time measurement, which allows you to make submeasurements of times for laps or legs of a race or to time two different racers.accumulated time, which allows you to track playing time, and stop the clock during time-outs,.If the watch is a “screwdown locking crown,” relock the crown after setting the correct time by pressing down on the crown as you turn it clockwise.Ī Seiko chronograph is not only a watch, it is also a sophisticated stopwatch that can measure down to fractions of a second and includes functions such as If you are setting the watch after noon, go past 12 again before you stop at the correct time and push the crown all the way back in. If you are setting the watch before noon, stop as soon as you get to the correct time and push the crown all the way back in. When you pass 12, the day and date should change automatically to the correct date. Next, pull the crown out another stop and turn it clockwise so the hands move forward. Stop one day before the correct day-of-the-week. The dayof-the-week will advance, going past Sunday and restarting at Monday, if necessary.

If your watch also displays a day-of-the-week, set this by rotating the crown counter-clockwise (toward the bottom of the watch face). If the number showing in the window is too high, go past “31,” and the counter will start at “1” again. Rotate the crown clockwise (toward the top of the watch face).
