Caring for your Watch (cont.)
the maximum water resistance depth is engraved on the case back, or can be
found on the dial. never wind or pull out the crown when the watch is wet
or underwater.
the water resistance indicated is tested at a static level of pressure. underwater
activities create additional pressures on the watch, which are greater than
the normal or actual depth.
guidelines for water resistance:
50 Meters / 5 ATM / 165 Feet - suitable for swimming
100 Meters / 10 ATM / 330 Feet - suitable for swimming and snorkeling
200 Meters / 20 ATM / 660 Feet - suitable for recreational scuba diving
300 Meters / 30 ATM / 1000 Feet - suitable for professional diving
avoid wearing your watch in saunas and hot tubs, as the high temperatures can
affect the watch’s water resistance.
avoid bathing or showering with your watch, as prolonged exposure to soap
can reduce the watch’s water resistance, over time.
