Watch Water Resistancy Guide

Water Resistant Recommended Use

WATER RESISTANT

*** Never pull out the crown when the watch is wet.***

*** Always check you push the crown in.***

The water resistance of the watch relates to the pressure of water against it whilst static, at the depth specified. However, the faster the watch is moved against the water, the higher the pressure against it. This explains why a watch marked ‘WATER RESISTANT / 30M’ may not be resistant to the force of spray from a tap or swimming.

Watches without water-resistant engravings on the case back, should be protected from water and excessive amounts of moisture, steam and condensation to avoid damage.

We do not recommend wearing a water-resistant watch while having a shower or bath. The item should not be exposed to high temperatures or left in hot conditions, condensation or steam - for instance, environments such as a bathroom.  This is to avoid damage caused by contact with high pressure or temperature which will cause deterioration of the gaskets.

The water resistance of the watch is not permanent and is affected by the deterioration, through time, of the gaskets sealing the glass, case-backs, pushers or crown.

We recommend that your watch is re-sealed and tested for water resistance every year or when the case is opened for servicing to maintain a continuous water resistance.

Please ask for this service, if required, as this work is not standard.
