What does Germanischer Lloyd have to do with a watch manufacturer from
Frankfurt am Main? The reputable institute examines and certifies our diving
watches — according to various criteria. One testing process focuses on
water-and pressure-resistance while a second centres on something that
has not yet been seen in the watch industry: certification according to the
European diving equipment norm!

Water and Pressure Resistance Testing
the background: the factor of time plays an important role in survival on
every dive. For this reason, diving watches must be water resistant, reliable,
robust, and guarantee perfect legibility under all light and water conditions.
additionally: for us, this certification is a natural extension of keeping our
quality promise. what we tell customers about our watches is not just lip
service, we prove it by putting it into action. germanischer lloyd has been
testing our diving watches for water and pressure resistance already since
2005. according to these certification norms, the u1 and u1000 series are
pressure resistant to 100 bar, the u2 and u200 series are pressure resistant to
200 bar and the ux series is actually even pressure resistant to any reachable
diving depth. germanischer lloyd confirms the pressure security of this series
to 12,000 meters and the movement to 5,000 meters diving depth. the test
is repeated in regular intervals for all of these series in order to continue
documenting their consistent quality.
