- Water-resistance
To keep the movement protected from moisture please be sure that the winding crown is always pushed against the case.
If you wear your watch during sporting activities or if its exposure to water is frequent, we recommend that you have its water-resistance checked once a year.
Gaskets are also subject to a natural ageing process and their periodic inspection will ensure their longevity.
Condensation inside your watch means that its water-resistance has been affected. Please contact one of our approved after-sales service providers.
