WATERRESISTANCECLASSIFICATION:Timepieces are classified by their degree of water resistance,
whichroughly translates to the following (1 meter = 3.28 feet).
All Victorinox Swiss Army chronograph timepieces are water-resistant from
100meters to 500 meters. Check the details on the back of your Victorinox Swiss
Armytimepiece case and read the following information carefully:
Waterresistant to 100 meters (330 feet/10 ATM). Suitable for swimming
orsnorkelling.
Water resistant to 300 meters (990 feet/30 ATM). Suitable for scuba
diving.
Waterresistant to 500 meters (1650 feet/50 ATM). Appropriate for serious
deepwater diving.
The water resistance of your timepiece cannot be guaranteed indefinitely,
consideringthat joints may age, crowns or pushers may sustain knocks and climate
or temperature may vary.We therefore recommend that you have the water
resistanceof your timepiece checked at an authorized Victorinox Swiss Army
ServiceCenter every 18 months or whenever the timepiece case is opened.
METER/BARCORRELATION
Meterand bar measurements are different things: under water, the water pressure
isadded to the air pressure above; a depth of 10 meters corresponds to 1 bar of
water pressure and 1 bar of atmospheric pressure above water level, therefore
2bars in total.
