Pressure Testing
Pressure Testing for Water-Resistant Watches
Keep Your Watch Safe from Water & Dust
Your water-resistant watch is built to withstand daily wear, moisture, and the elements—but only if its seals are intact. Over time, gaskets can weaken, compromising the watch’s ability to stay water-tight.
That’s why regular pressure testing is essential. It’s a quick, non-invasive procedure that confirms whether your watch is still maintaining its factory-rated water resistance.
Why Pressure Testing Matters
Detects worn seals before water damage occurs
Ensures your watch is safe for swimming, showering, or active use
Ideal after battery replacements, servicing, or accidental knocks

Why Pressure Testing Matters
Over time, the gaskets and seals that keep moisture out of your watch can degrade due to daily exposure and wear. If these components fail, water can sneak in and damage the movement, dial, and other vital parts. Regular pressure testing allows you to:
- Catch Early Leaks: Quickly identify weak points in the case back, crown, glass, or chronograph pushers.
- Protect Essential Components: Prevent costly damage to the internal movement and dial.
- Extend Lifespan: A properly sealed watch stays reliable longer, saving you money on repairs.
