So what does DNV GL (formerly Germanischer Lloyd) have to do with a
watch manufacturer from Frankfurt am Main? The renowned company tests
and certifies our diving watches according to a variety of criteria. One
test focuses on water resistance and pressure resistance, while a second
test procedure covers something never done before in the watchmaking
industry: certification in accordance with the European standards for diving
equipment!
Testing for water resistance and pressure resistance
in each dive, time plays a crucial role in survival on every dive. diving
watches must therefore be water-resistant, reliable and durable, and
guarantee perfect readability in all lighting and water conditions. the
information we provide about our diving watches is thus not merely captured
in words, but proven in practice as well. Since 2005, dnv gl has been
testing our diving watches for water resistance and pressure resistance. in
accordance with these certification standards, the ezM 3 and ezM 13 are
pressure-resistant to 50 bar, the t1, u1, u212 and the u1000 series are pressure-
resistant to 100 bar, while the t2, u2 and u200 series are pressure-resistant
to 200 bar and the uX series is actually pressure-resistant to any accessible
diving depth. For this series, dnv gl has confirmed the pressure resistance
of the case to 12,000 m and of the movement to 5,000 m diving depth. the
tests are repeated at regular intervals on all of these watches in order to
document the consistency of the quality.
