Water and Watches
Very few watches are 100% water resistant. Unless your watch is specifically designed for
continuous work in water (e.g. a diver’s watch) it should not be subjected to conditions which can
cause moisture or water penetration.
Water Resistant Watches
On water resistant watches, special seals are used to exclude water and dust. As these seals
deteriorate over time, the seals should be checked every 12 months and whenever a battery is
fitted. (This includes scuba diving watches)
The points of entry where moisture penetration can occur are:
• back case seal and around the push buttons,
• around the glass, or
• at the winding button.
All these aspects may not need to be changed but they should be checked by a qualified
watchmaker to ensure maximum water resistance integrity is maintained.
When batteries are changed the seal is disturbed, therefore a water resistance test is a must.
Manual Wind Watches
Manually wound watches must be fully wound once daily (preferably at a similar time). Do not be
afraid as you cannot damage the watch by turning the winding button with normal finger
pressure.
Automatic Watches
Automatic watches are wound as the watches are worn by the constant movement of the wrist. If
the watch is not worn for long periods it will stop. Most models have 30 hour reserve power.
Quartz Watches
Your quartz (battery powered) watch will supply you with very accurate time keeping.
When supply from the battery is exhausted the watch will merely stop. Different models will have
varying battery life expectancies.
