Waterproof properties
The water resistance of your DETOMASO watch has been tested with 120
ATM for the automatic watch model and with 50 ATM for the solar mo-
del. This means that you may wash your hands, take a bath and a shower
or swim and dive with it. Of course it also is spray waterproof.
This means that it is splashproof and that you may wash your hands or
take a bath or a shower with it. You may also swim with it and even go
diving. Waterproofness is not a permanent characteristic; it should be
tested annually and in particular before the watch is put under exceptional
strain, as the seals deteriorate gradually in daily use. The seals are the
important factor in guaranteeing the waterproofness of a watch. These
age naturally and are also affected by perspiration and acids.
ISO 2281 stipulates which standards have to be met by a new watch.
The level of waterproofness is given in atm and noted on the base of the
casing.
In some cases a short-term higher pressure than the guaranteed inspec-
tion pressure may be enforced on the seals, for example when swimming
or diving into water. Watches are at particular risk when the wearer dives
into water after sunbathing. The combination of the impact pressure with
the negative pressure caused by the sudden drop in temperature can
quite easily cause damage.
It is important to check and, if necessary, replace seals when the battery
is replaced.
