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. 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 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 expos­
ure 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 water­resistance
test whenever your IWC watch is opened and serviced.
