WATER RESISTANCE

                               

A product may be classified as “water resistant” if it is sufficiently impervious to water or moisture when it is immersed completely in water for five minutes under atmospheric pressure of 15 pounds per square inch and for at least another five minutes under an additional pressure of at least 35 pounds per square inch without the entrance of moisture. If your watch is water-resistant it is essential that the seals be checked each year before the swimming season because, without your realizing it, they might have been damaged as the result of a shock. All water-resistant models should have the gaskets changed every 18 months to two years. If the watch is used in daily showering, a chlorinated pool or salt water, the gaskets should be changed on a yearly basis.
