Water Resistance Guide

Water Resistance Is Model-Specific

Do not assume a watch is waterproof. Water resistance varies by model, construction, seals, age, and service condition. Ask us about the specific product before exposing it to water.

Everyday Precautions

Avoid showers, swimming, diving, steam rooms, hot tubs, and high-pressure water unless the product has been specifically confirmed suitable for that use. Never operate the crown or pushers while the watch is wet.

Care After Contact With Water

Dry the watch promptly with a soft cloth. If moisture appears beneath the crystal, stop wearing the watch and arrange inspection.

Straps and Chemicals

Leather straps, adhesives, finishes, and decorative components may be damaged by water, perfume, cosmetics, salt, or cleaning chemicals.

Testing and Maintenance

Water resistance can decrease over time. Periodic pressure testing by a qualified watch technician is recommended before water exposure.
