As the watch is moved in water, such as from the motion of swimming, pressure is added from velocity. Water resistance is measured at a static, or motionless state.
If the watch is exposed to the previously mentioned environments on a daily basis, we recommend the gaskets be changed every six months to insure the water resistant quality.
on an occasional basis, we recommend that the gaskets be changed on a yearly basis. If the watch is exposed to chlorinated pools, soaps salt water, etc. We recommend that the gaskets be changed at least every 18 months to maintain the water resistant quality of your timepiece. Exposure to environments such as chlorinated pools, salt water or soaps from showering can accelerate drying of the gaskets. However, as the watch ages, the gaskets which seal the watch become dry and brittle diminishing its water resistant quality. When a piece is new, it meets the specifications for water resistance as indicated on the case back. Outlined below are examples of exposure to moisture as well as a description of the varying degrees of water resistance.Ī primary factor about water resistance to keep in mind is that it is not a permanent condition. The water resistant quality of our timepieces comes in varying degrees, from non-water resistant to 20 BAR (ATM). Q: Can you please explain Water Resistance in detail?
