HOW TO OPERATE YOUR C9 5 DAY CHRONOMETER
WATER RESISTANCE
Although your watch has been through vigorous
static pressure testing, it is worth remembering
that there are many variables that can affect
the water resistance of your watch.
For instance, arm movements during swimming
and the sudden impact of diving and water
sports will drastically increase the pressure the
watch is under. Wearing your watch in the bath,
shower, or sauna can also have an effect as a
rapid increase in temperature can cause seals
to expand and in extreme cases, malfunction or
create condensation.
For these reasons, the water resistance rating
of your watch (as shown)
should only ever
be considered a guideline
and we strongly
recommend they are always adhered to.
