WATER-RESISTANCE
The water­resistance of IWC watches is stated in bar and
not in metres. Metres, which are often used elsewhere in
the watch industry to indicate water­resistance, cannot
be equated with dive depth because of the test pro ced­
ures that are frequently used. Water­resistance shown
in metres provides no indication as to actual use of the
watch in the presence of moisture and wetness as well
as in or under water. Recommendations for use in con­
nection with the water­resistance of your watch can be
found on the Internet at www.iwc.com/water­resistance.
Your authorized IWC Official Agent will also be pleased
to provide you with information.
To ensure that your watch continues to function perfectly,
you should have it checked by an IWC service centre at
least once a year. Your watch should also be tested after
expos ure to unusually harsh conditions. If the tests are
not carried out as stipulated, or if the watch is opened
by unauthorized persons, IWC will accept no warranty
or liability claims.
Recommendation: Your authorized IWC Official Agent
must carry out a water­resistance test whenever your
IWC watch is opened and serviced.
