those recommended by Jaeger-LeCoultre,
watches with the serial number removed, the
strap or glass altered, the loss of water resis-
tance after two years after the date of pur-
chase, if your watch is water-resistant, and any
defect resulting from the contact with water, if
your watch is not water-resistant.
Jaeger-LeCoultre water-resistant watches can
be identified by the
symbol and/or by “3, 5,
10, or 20 bar” (or another number depending on
the model) engraved on the case-back. Their wa-
ter resistance is guaranteed for two years from
the date of purchase, provided that the glass,
bezel, back, middle part, and crown have not
been damaged. It is essential to have the water
resistance checked by an authorised Jaeger-
LeCoultre retailer, a Jaeger-LeCoultre Boutique,
or an authorised Jaeger-LeCoultre Service Cen-
tre at least every two years, and in any event, pri-
or to any period of intensive use. Please refer to
the operating instructions for further details.
For quartz watches, this guarantee does not
cover the battery life.
