Water Resistance
All Zodiac timepieces are designed with a minimum water-resistance
rating of 10ATM (330ft/100m) .
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 .
