Water resistance

The water resistance of your DETOMASO watch has been tested for 3 ATM.
This means that you may wash your hands and that it is spraywaterproof.
However, swimming, taking a shower a bath with it or diving is not suitable.
Water resistance is a non-lasting quality that requires annual check-ups,
especially prior to exposition of external stress because the built-in sealing
elements will decrease in their efficiency due to everyday use. Seals are used
to guarantee the water resistance of a watch. These seals have a natural aging
process and are prone to become porous due to the effects of sweat and
acids.
The ISO 2281 regulates criteria and standards that new watches must meet.
The resilience is stated in ATM on the base of the casing. Your DETOMASO–
watch has a designated water resistance of 3 ATM. The stated pressure of „3
ATM" should not be mistaken for the diving depth. It is merely the definition of
the test pressure. A test pressure of „3 ATM" is reached at a water depth of
30 m.
The guaranteed test pressure allowed to be imposed on the seals may suddenly
be increased and surmounted during swimming or when jumping into water.
This is most likely to occur if one jumps into water after an extended period of
sunbathing. Here the impact pressure and vacuum caused by cooling will add
up and can cause damage.
Please check the seals every time you change the battery and renew them if
necessary.
