FAQs
How often should I have my Seiko Prospex Samurai serviced?
It is recommended to have your watch serviced every 3-5 years to maintain its accuracy and water resistance.
Is the watch suitable for deep-sea diving?
The watch is water-resistant up to 200 meters, which makes it suitable for recreational diving. However, for professional deep-sea diving, a watch specifically designed for that purpose may be more appropriate.
How do I wind the watch?
If the watch is not worn regularly, you can manually wind it by turning the crown clockwise about 20-30 times when the crown is in the closed position.
How do I set the date and time?
Pull the crown out to the first position to set the date and the second position to set the time. Rotate the crown clockwise for the date and both directions for the time.
What kind of crystal does the watch have?
The watch has a sapphire crystal with an anti-reflective coating for enhanced durability and visibility.
How do I clean my watch?
Wipe the watch with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
What is Lumibrite?
Lumibrite is Seiko's proprietary luminous material that glows in the dark, providing enhanced visibility in low-light conditions.
What is the Zaratsu polish?
Zaratsu polishing is a specialized technique that creates a smooth, distortion-free finish on the case, giving it a premium look.
