Water Resistance
If your watch is water-resistant, it will clearly state “Water Resistant” or have a static water pressure indication (e.g. “30/50/100/200 metres”) on the dial and/or case back. If it is not marked as water-resistant, it should not be allowed to come into contact with water or be worn in conditions that could expose it to moisture (e.g. washing, heavy rain etc.). Certain chemicals in water may damage the watch seals. To maintain water resistance, we recommend that your watch is serviced and re-sealed at least every 12 months by T.P. (UK) Ltd.
