Hi. When pulling the stem out to setting position look in the hole/s for a small tab moving into view this will br the release tab. Push gently. Attached is the user manual . You will need to skip through the Japanese version. Seiko 8B53 usermanual.pdf -

Hi you could clean the contacts with a fibre glass pen brush and try again, or remove the battery and spin it up on a line release too just to free the train and hands then refit the battery with the clean contacts. Or a Richard suggested just change the movement, looks like a miyota 2030 or 2035. Cheap to replace fron cousins or HSWalsh. -

Try pressing all four buttons at the same time - every segment on the screen should show for a second or two, plus it beep. That's a "hard reset" which should get it going, if the battery is making proper contact and there is no fault. I've just tried it with an old Klik of mine, with a new battery. If that works, it may take anything from a few minutes to a few hours to lock on to the time signal and set itself. Keep it away from computers & wifi devices etc. to minimise interference until it sets. Edit - mine set itself while I was typing that! Not bad seeing it's not been used for years. -

Which myota movement is it, they're pretty cheap. You could just replace the movement. -

The hole just offset from the stem, below the one over the stem in the second photo.
