Important Notes
This model is not discontinued by the manufacturer and remains available for purchase. It includes one product-specific battery, though the primary power source is the automatic winding mechanism. For detailed warranty coverage, customers should consult Seiko’s official warranty policy. The watch ships in standard packaging measuring 4.72 x 4.72 x 3.15 inches and weighs 12 ounces. To ensure long-term accuracy and performance, avoid exposing the watch to extreme temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or impacts. Regular care—such as wiping down the case and bracelet and ensuring the crown is fully pushed in—will help maintain its condition. While the 7S26 movement is known for its reliability, occasional servicing by a qualified technician may be beneficial after several years of use.
