Water Resistance - iwc PILOT’S WATCH CHRONOGRAPH SPITFIRE Operating Instructions Manual

WATER-RESISTANCE
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 stays properly water­resistant, you
should have it checked by an IWC service centre at least once
a year. Your watch should also be tested after exposure to
un usually harsh conditions. If the tests are not carried out as
stipulated, or if the watch is opened by un authorized 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.
