WATER RESISTANCE
CLASSIFICATION:
Timepieces are classified by their degree of water resistance,
which roughly translates to the following (1 meter = 3.28 feet).
All Victorinox Swiss Army timepieces are water-resistant from 30 meters to
500 meters. Check the details on the back of your Victorinox Swiss Army timepiece
case and read the following information carefully:
Water resistant to 30 meters (100 feet, 3 ATM).
Will withstand rain or
splashes of water and accidental immersion, but should not be worn while
showering, swimming or diving.
Water resistant to 50 meters (165 feet, 5 ATM).
Suitable for showering or
swimming in shallow water.
Water resistant to 100 meters (330 feet/10 ATM).
Suitable for swimming
or snorkelling.
Water resistant to 300 meters (990 feet/30 ATM).
Suitable for scuba
diving.
Water resistant to 500 meters (1650 feet/50 ATM).
Appropriate for serious
deep water diving.
The water resistance of your timepiece cannot be guaranteed indefinitely, consid-
ering that joints may age, crowns or pushers may sustain knocks and climate or
temperature may vary.
We therefore recommend that you have the water
resistance of your timepiece checked at an authorized Victorinox Swiss Army
Watch SA Service Centre every 18 months or whenever the timepiece case is
opened.
