IWC Schaffhausen 5029 Mode D'emploi page 28

(one day too many). This incorrect date indication can be corrected by resetting the
hands twice, by 12 hours on each occasion:
– Setting the watch back by 12 hours during the afternoon between 2 p.m. and
8 p.m. will prevent the calendar from advancing at midnight.
– Setting the watch back another 12 hours the following morning between 2 a.m.
and 11 a.m. will synchronize the date display with the local date.
The water­resistance of IWC watches is stated in bar and not in metres. Metres, which
are often used elsewhere in the watch industry to indicate water­resistance, cannot
be equated with dive depth because of the test procedures that are frequently used.
Water­resistance shown in metres provides no indication as to actual use of the watch
in the presence of moisture and wetness, and in or under water. Recommendations
for use in connection with the water­resistance of your watch can be found on the
Internet at www.iwc.com/water­resistance. Your authorized IWC Official Agent will
also be pleased to provide you with information.
To ensure that your watch continues to function perfectly, you should have it checked
by an IWC service centre at least once a year. Your watch should also be tested after
exposure to unusually harsh conditions. If the tests are not carried out as stipulated,
or if the watch is opened by unauthorized persons, IWC will accept no warranty or
liability claims.
Recommendation: Your authorized IWC Official Agent must carry out a water­
resistance test whenever your IWC watch is opened and serviced.
