Seiko Classic SUR314P1 - Gold Tone Stainless Steel Bracelet Watch

Yes, with 100m (10 bar) water resistance, this watch is suitable for recreational swimming and showering. However, it is not recommended for diving or high-impact water sports.

Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe down the case and bracelet. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive materials, or detergents, as these can damage the gold plating and seals.

The watch features robust gold plating over stainless steel. While designed for durability, like all plated finishes, it can show wear or scratches over time, especially with rough handling or exposure to abrasive substances. Careful maintenance will help preserve its appearance.

Lumibrite is Seiko's proprietary luminous coating. It absorbs light energy and glows in the dark, significantly improving the readability of the dial and hands in low-light conditions without the need for radioactive materials.

While technically possible, this watch is designed with an integrated gold-tone stainless steel bracelet. Replacing it with a different strap may alter its intended aesthetic and could be challenging due to the specific lug design. Consult a watchmaker if considering this.

Info needed: Seiko quartz movements generally have a battery life of approximately 2 to 3 years, but this can vary based on usage and specific movement.

Sapphire crystal is extremely hard and highly resistant to scratches from most common materials. While not entirely 'scratch-proof' against exceptionally hard substances (like diamonds), it offers superior scratch resistance compared to mineral or acrylic crystals.

This watch uses a quartz movement and will eventually require a battery replacement. If it's not keeping time, it likely needs a new battery. Visit a qualified watchmaker for battery replacement.

Avoid setting the date between 9 PM and 3 AM, as this can interfere with the date change mechanism. If the date is stuck, manually advance the time past midnight to trigger the change, then set the correct time.

The bracelet length needs to be adjusted. It is recommended to have a professional jeweler or watchmaker add or remove links to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.
