The water-resistance of IWC watches is stated in bar and not
in metres. Metres, which are often used elsewhere in the watch
industry to indicate water-resistance, cannot be equated with
dive depth because of the test procedures that are frequently
used. Water-resistance 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 water-resistance of your watch can be found
on the Internet at www.iwc.com/water-resistance. Your author-
ized IWC Official Agent will also be pleased to provide you with
information.
To ensure that your watch continues to function perfect-
ly, you should have it checked by an IWC service centre
at least once a year. Your watch should also be tested af-
ter 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.
