  • by

Seiko watch oil S-2

Use this S-2 as a lubricating oil for slippoing attachments of the automatic winding mainspring without a black ring mark on the barrel cover.

Seiko automatic winding mainsrping oil, S-3

Use this S-3 as a lubricating oil for slipping attachements of the automatic winding mainspring with a black ring mark on the barrel cover.

Seiko watch oil S-4

This is a grease-like oil with an excellent extreme-pressure characteristic. Use this oil for lubricating and preventing abrasion on automatic winding mechanisms, setting mechanisms, and so forth.

Lubricating the pivots of train wheel

  1. Before assembling the wheels, apply S-4 to the bottom surface of the hole jewel.
  2. Set the wheel by inserting its pivot in the lubricated hole jewel.

Note: No effect can be expected by lubricating the hole jewel from the upper portion after assembling the wheel.

Moebius Synt-A-Lube

This lubricating oil is applied to those parts most sensitive to friction loss; for example, such as the pivot of front train wheel, pallet jewel, etc.

Silicon grease, 500,500 c/s

Use this grease for coating gaskets on outer parts, and to maintain airtight and water resistant characteristics.
