Bedryfsinstruksies

Outomatiese beweging

Your SEIKO SKZ211K1 watch is equipped with an automatic mechanical movement. This means it is powered by the kinetic energy generated by your arm's motion. When worn regularly, the watch will remain wound. If the watch is not worn for an extended period, it may stop. Simply pick it up and gently swing it for a few moments to restart it, then set the time and date as described in the Setup section.

Day/Date Function

The watch displays both the day of the week and the date. The day can be displayed in English or another language (e.g., French, as noted in some models). To change the day/date, refer to the "Setting Time and Date" instructions in the Setup section. The day will typically advance automatically at midnight, with the date changing shortly after.

Compass Bezel Usage

The inner rotating bezel features compass markings. To use it for basic orientation:

1. Wys die uurwyser na die son.
2. Rotate the inner compass bezel using the 9 o'clock crown until the "S" (South) marking is halfway between the hour hand and the 12 o'clock marker (in the Northern Hemisphere). The other cardinal directions will then be indicated.
3. Note: This method provides an approximate direction and is dependent on your hemisphere and daylight saving time.

Waterweerstand

The SKZ211K1 is water resistant to 200 meters (660 feet). This rating makes it suitable for recreational scuba diving. Ensure the 4 o'clock crown is always screwed down tightly before exposing the watch to water. Do not operate the crowns or pushers while the watch is wet or submerged.

Over time, gaskets that ensure water resistance can degrade. It is recommended to have your watch's water resistance checked by an authorized SEIKO service center every 2-3 years, especially if you frequently expose it to water or intend to use it for diving.

The Hardlex crystal is designed to be scratch-resistant, but it is not impervious to all damage. Avoid impacts and contact with sharp or abrasive surfaces to maintain its clarity.

Probleemoplossing

• Watch Not Running or Losing Time:

  As an automatic watch, it requires motion to operate. If the watch has stopped, gently swing it from side to side for about 30 seconds to build up power. If it continues to stop or lose significant time after regular wear, it may require servicing. Ensure the crown is fully pushed in and screwed down.

• Day/Date Not Changing:

  Ensure the time is set correctly, especially AM/PM. The day/date mechanism typically changes around midnight. Avoid manually adjusting the day/date between 9 PM and 4 AM, as this can interfere with the automatic change mechanism.

• Compass Bezel Rotates Freely:

  The crown at the 9 o'clock position for the inner compass bezel is designed to rotate freely and is not screw-down. It is normal for it to move during wear. This is not a malfunction.
• Water binne die horlosie:

  If you notice condensation or water inside the watch, immediately take it to an authorized service center. Do not attempt to dry it yourself, as this can cause further damage. Ensure the crown was properly screwed down before water exposure.
