Your watch is suitable for swimming, high-impact water sports and scuba diving. Suitable for all high-impact water sports, scuba-diving and saturation diving. If you have any questions about the water resistancy feature on the watches, feel free to contact us. Salt water especially causes a lot of corrosion and wear and tear on all parts of the watch, which ultimately causes the water resistance level of the watch to drop over time.
Each watch is tested a little bit differently, but the most important thing is to first make sure that all the gaskets are sealed and water resistant.
Over time, the gaskets will need to be replaced and lubricated. One drop of water inside the watch can do major damage. The first thing to do is place the watch on a lamp or hot plate or even a radiator to warm up the back.
This will move the moisture away from the delicate moving parts. You should also continue to wear your watch all the time—even at night. Your body temperature will provide enough warmth to keep the moisture away from the movement.
Once you get home, bring the watch to your nearest Tourneau store to have it opened, dried and cleaned, and repaired of any water damage. It is strongly advisable not to shower with your watch on. Shampoo, soaps and other liquids are highly corrosive to a watch's delicate components and will wear it out much sooner. If you accidentally expose your watch to soap, you should rinse it off with fresh water and dry it as quickly as possible.
While chronographs are very well-crafted timepieces and typically water resistant, they are not intended for swimming or diving. A chronograph is a complicated watch, which actually has several openings for water to enter: 2 push buttons, a crown, the crystal, and the case back gasket.
At each of these points, there is a gasket that forms a seal, which protects the movement from water damage. If you suspect water damage, you should send your watch in for repair as soon as possible to prevent any further harm. Depending on the condition of the timepiece, some instances of water damage can be repaired. The repair process includes carefully taking apart the watch, replacing any broken parts, removing all moisture, and conducting a proper water rest after the piece has been correctly reassembled.

By Roberta Naas. This is because all watches have a limit to how much pressure and shock they can withstand before moisture will get into the case and movement.
As such, the term water resistant is more accurate, because it is all about the pressure that the watch can handle. That pressure is usually measured in either atmospheres ATM , bars, meters, or feet. All watches that are water resistant use one of several terms to indicate how deep the wearer can take the watch.
It is important to understand those terms and their translations. Essentially, if a watch is water resistant to 1 atmosphere ATM it is water resistant to 1 bar, or 10 meters, or approximately 33 feet.
