Your Seiko Neo Classic SUR446P1 watch is built for consistent performance in daily life, blending aesthetic appeal with practical utility.
The two-tone stainless steel case and matching bracelet provide a sophisticated look that transitions seamlessly from office wear to casual weekend attire. The 40mm diameter offers a balanced presence on the wrist, making it comfortable for extended wear. The sapphire glass ensures the dial remains clear and free from scratches from everyday bumps and scrapes, preserving its aesthetic appeal for years.
One of the standout features is the Lumibrite on the indexes. This technology ensures that even when you step into a dimly lit room or are outdoors at dusk, you can easily read the time without straining your eyes. The silver dial with gold-tone hands and markers provides a classic contrast, enhancing readability in well-lit environments.
With 100 meters (10 ATM) of water resistance, this watch is designed to handle common water exposure. You can confidently wear it while washing hands, showering, or even for a casual swim. However, it's crucial to remember that 100m water resistance does not mean it's suitable for deep-sea diving, as the pressure dynamics change significantly. Avoid operating the crown or pushers while submerged to prevent water ingress.
The day/date window at 3 o'clock is a convenient addition for daily planning and organization, providing essential calendar information at a quick glance, ensuring you stay on schedule.
This section guides you through the initial setup, general compatibility considerations, and proper care to ensure your Seiko Neo Classic watch remains in excellent condition.
Setting the Time: Pull the crown out to the second click (farthest position). Turn the crown to set the hour and minute hands. Push the crown back in completely.
Setting the Date: Pull the crown out to the first click. Turn the crown clockwise to adjust the date. Important: Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the date change mechanism. If the time is within this window, adjust the time outside this period, set the date, then reset the time.
Setting the Day: With the crown in the first click, turn the crown counter-clockwise to adjust the day. Similar to the date, avoid setting the day between 9 PM and 3 AM. If necessary, adjust the time first.
The Seiko Neo Classic SUR446P1 features a 40mm diameter case, making it a suitable size for most men's wrists. The metal bracelet comes in a standard length and may require adjustment to achieve a perfect fit. This is typically done by removing or adding links. It is recommended to have this done by a professional watchmaker or jeweler to prevent damage.
Cleaning: Regularly wipe the case and bracelet with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and fingerprints. For a deeper clean, especially on the metal bracelet, use a soft brush and mild soapy water, then rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry completely. Ensure the crown is pushed in before any water exposure.
Water Resistance: While your watch is 100m water resistant, avoid prolonged exposure to hot water, steam, or harsh chemicals, which can compromise the seals. Always ensure the crown is fully pushed in before any contact with water.
Temperature: Avoid exposing your watch to extreme temperatures, hot or cold, or sudden temperature changes, as this can affect the accuracy and lifespan of the movement.
Magnetic Fields: Keep your watch away from strong magnetic fields (e.g., speakers, MRI machines, strong magnets) as they can affect the accuracy of the quartz movement.
Battery Replacement: As a quartz watch, it will require battery replacement typically every 2-3 years. It's best to have this done by a qualified watch technician to ensure proper sealing and battery type installation.
