A measurement set according to DIN 51 807 part 1. which defines a lubricants resistance to water.
Watch case, crown, buttons (push-pieces) and crystal are water resistant and dustproof up to the underwater pressure or depth mentioned by Oris. The water resistance should be checked yearly.
The ability of a coating to remain a solid, protective film after exposure to water.
The ability of the container to resist water absorption relates to its ability to retain its shape and structural integrity during brief exposure to rain, condensation, etc. The term water resistant does not imply water proof.
The ability of a line to remain legible on immersion in de-ionised water for a given length of time. Normal test conditions following ISO 12757 or ISO 14145
The ability to withstand splashes of water.
A watch classed as this is able to withstand splashes of water (Eg. In the kitchen or in the rain) but cannot be used for swimming or diving. Diving watches are classified as "Water resistant to 200 meters" to indicate the depth to which it can withstand pressure. For more details see individual model descriptions
Measurement of a watch's resistance to water measured in feet, metres, or atmospheres (ATM). Resistance ranges from zero to over one thousand metres in depth. • 30 metres: Splash proof • 50 metres: Can be worn in the shower • 100 metres: Can be worn swimming • 200 metres: Can be worn scuba diving
The ability to withstand swelling by water for a specified time and temperature.
The characteristic of a material to resist wetting and penetration by water.
The ability to resist damage caused by exposure to water.
Water-resistant cases have joints that are made to withstand splashes of water and prevent water from entering. Terms such as "water resistant to 50 meters" or "water resistant to 200 meters" indicate that the watch can be worn underwater to various depths.
Coatings films absorb and transmit water and water vapour. Sometimes this property is used positively as, for example, in emulsion paints which allow new plaster to dry out through them, or microporous wood coatings which allow the wood to "breathe". Generally when formulating exterior coatings, the aim is to maximise the water resistance of the film.
A measurement which determines the ability of a fabric to withstand sustained contact with water.
the ability of a watch to keep the water from penetrating inside the case.
Describes the level of protection a watch has from water damage. See the "water resistance" section for a description of the different levels.
Describes the level of protection a watch has from water damage. .A watch bearing the inscription "water-resistant" on its case back can handle light moisture, such as a rainstorm or sink splashes, but should not be worn swimming or diving. If the watch can be submerged in water, it must state at what depth it maintains water-resistance, i.e. 50 meters (165 feet) or more on most sport watches. Below 200 meters, the watch may be used for skin diving and even scuba diving depending upon the indicated depths. Watches come in different water resistant depths and diver's depths: Water resistant: Will withstand splashes of water or rain but should not be worn while swimming or diving. Water tested to 50 meters (165 feet): Suitable for showering or swimming in shallow water. Water tested to 100 meters (330 feet): Suitable for swimming or snorkeling. Water tested to 150 meters (500 feet): Suitable for snorkeling. Water tested to 200 meters (660 feet): Suitable for skin diving. Diver's to 150 meters: Meets ISO Standards and is suitable for scuba diving. Diver's to 200 meters: Meets ISO Standards and is suitable for scuba diving.
The ability of a floor finish to be unaffected by water spilled on it.
