WATER RESISTANCE
All MICHELE timepieces are designed with a minimum water-resistance rating of 5ATM
(165ft/50m).
The water-resistance of a timepiece protects the movement from, dust, moisture, and
risk of damage to the movement should it be immersed in water.
Please see chart for guidelines for recommended exposure of various water ratings.
It is important not to attempt to adjust the position of the crown while the timepiece is
in contact with water. Water can enter the case causing damage to the movement.
For timepieces with screw-down crowns, it is important to ensure the crown is in the
proper position and completely locked before contact with water.
For timepieces with chronograph functions, do not engage the chronograph under
water, as water may leak in the case and cause damage to the movement.
