Although your watch has been through vigorous static

pressure testing, it is worth remembering that there are

many variables that can affect the water resistance of

your watch.

For instance, arm movements during swimming and the

sudden impact of diving and watersports will drastically

increase the pressure the watch is under. Wearing your

watch in the bath, shower, or sauna can also have an

effect as a rapid increase in temperature can cause seals

to expand and in extreme cases, malfunction or create

condensation.

For these reasons, the water resistance rating of your

watch (as shown) should only ever be considered a

guideline and we strongly recommend they are always

adhered to.

1 aTm (10 METRES)

Safe to wear your watch while washing

your hands with tap water.

3 aTm (30 METRES)

Washing your car and/or general

hosepipe usage.

5 aTm (50 METRES)

Water resistant to most household

shower units.

10 aTm (100 METRES)

Safe to use while snorkelling in open

water.

30 aTm (300 METRES)

Ideal for experienced divers and those

practising scuba-diving.

50 aTm (500 METRES)

Professional divers, experiencing

prolonged exposure underwater.

100 aTm (1000 METRES)

Professional deep sea diving.
