If you are planning to use the watch to track your dive time and depth, you
should be a certified open water diver and have the water-resistance and depth
gauge checked regularly by an IWC service centre. To ensure that your watch
continues to function perfectly, you should have it checked by an IWC service centre
at least once a year.
Under no circumstances should you use the watch and its entirely mech anical depth
gauge to replace a conventional, and in some cases mandatory, dive computer or
other dive log equipment. The watch and its entirely mechanical depth gauge are
intended solely for use as an auxiliary instrument for measuring dive time and depth.
We recommend that you compare the results shown by the watch with the information
provided by your dive computer to get a feel for the watch's accuracy.
If you are forced to rely on your watch and its entirely mechanical depth gauge in an
emergency (malfunction of your dive computer or other scuba equipment), you must
take into account the inaccuracies that may arise as a result of mechanical and phys­
ical factors.
Only depths of up to 50 metres are indicated (13). The depth gauge is mechanically
disengaged at depths below this limit in order to avoid damage.

Please read the "Depth gauge of the Aquatimer Deep Three" section on this page. The
watch must always be checked visually before a dive. If there is any obvious damage,
condensation on the glass, water in the case, or other signs of malfunction, the watch
must not be used to keep track of dive time or depth and should be taken to an IWC
service centre for checking.
