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.
