Pressure testing is included in the complete service of all watches marked "divers" & "water resistant."

Your "water resistant" watch should be pressure tested everytime the case is opened to peform ANY inspection or service.  Many watch-repair shops and jewelry stores do NOT own or utilize this expensive equipment, so it is "buyer beware."  If your watch was opened and/or repaired at a jewelry store and/or by a watchmaker who did NOT pressure test your watch, and you desire to have your watch's rated water resistance verified, we offer pressure testing service at two (2) levels:

Level 1 Pressure Test Service 
will dry test a watch rated at or below 100m/10Bar.  (Click below to see pricing.) 

Purchase Level One (1) Pressure Test Service

Level 2 Pressure Test Service will both dry and wet test a watch rated over 100m/10bar and up to 1000m/100bar.  

Purchase Level Two (2) Pressure Test Service

Level 3 Gasket/O-ring Service will replace any rubber o-rings that may have failed the respective pressure tests, and will be required if your watch fails the test due to a faulty sealing and/or o-ring gasket(s).

Below are some photos of the actual equipment we utilize in the "dry" and "wet" testing process of watches via sophisticated vacuum, pressure and leak detection equipment on water resistant and "dive" watches.  We also can print a RECEIPT and/or photo-document that your watch passed these critical verification tests for water resistance.

For DIVE watches rated at 100m/10 bar/10 atm or
more
, a specialized "wet test" of water resistance
up to 125 bar (1250 meters) is also performed,
per the manufacturer's requirements.  To see a
video of this new and unique tester,
click here.

          
If a leak were detected, this machine would safely
locate it  without risking any damage to the watch.


One of our watchmakers would then further analyze and correct the problem, repeating the tests until the watch was verified as "water resistant" to 125% of its rating
.
