1. Water-resistance precautions
Your watch has been rigorously checked and will retain its water resistance if you take the
following precautions:
- Ensure that the crown and the push-buttons on your watch are in their initial position
position 0 - to prevent any damage to the mechanism. To do this, press the crown against
the case.
- If your watch is equipped with a screw-down crown, ensure that it is locked after any
adjustment and before use in an aquatic environment. To do this, screw the crown in a
clockwise direction, whilst keeping it pressed against the case of your watch.
- Never activate the crown or push-buttons of your watch under water, if the watch is in contact
with water or when it is wet.
2. Water-resistance test
The water resistance of your watch is ensured by a sophisticated system of seals. These are subject
to the damaging effects of a range of external factors (perspiration, changes in temperature,
ultraviolet rays, salt or chlorinated water, dust, etc.). For this reason, and to ensure the seals can
carry out their role perfectly, Girard-Perregaux recommends entrusting your watch to one of its
authorized Girard-Perregaux Repair Centers every 2 to 3 years for the necessary water-resistance
inspections.
