and apparatus required to carry out the work and the necessary checks
in a professional manner. A worn-out battery should be replaced

Clean the case and bracelet regularly using a soft cloth to prevent
any corrosion caused by perspiration. All water resistant watches can
be cleaned with a toothbrush and soapy water, and then dried with asoft cloth. After being worn in the sea, the watch must be rinsed withwarm fresh water and then dried completely.

TISSOT S.A., CH-2400 Le Locle, Switzerland

Water resistance

TISSOT® is a registered trademark

Water resistance of watches is rated based on laboratory pressure
tests comparable to a swimmer or diver sitting still at that pressurelevel. However many water-based activities involve a lot of movement
and other environmental changes. These exceptions to how the watch
was rated may challenge or defeat the water protection features of awater resistant watch.
The water resistance of a watch cannot permanently be guaranteed.
It may be affected by ageing of gaskets or by accidental shock to thecrown. We recommend that you have the water resistance of yourwatch checked once a year by an authorized TISSOT® Service Center.
Never activate the time-setting crown and/or the pushers while thewatch is under water and make sure that the crown has been pushed/screwed down tightly after every operation.
Do not under any circumstances open the watch yourself ; arrange to
get it inspected by an authorized TISSOT® Service Center only.
All TISSOT® watches are water-resistant to 3 bar (30 m / 100 ft). A
screw down crown improves water-resistance.
This applies in particular to watches which are water-resistant at
depths in excess of 10 bar (100 m / 330 ft).

Sapphire crystal
Sapphire is manufactured from aluminium oxide (Al2O3). Transparent
and colourless, it can only be scratched or cut with a diamond. Dueto its extreme hardness, sapphire is virtually immune to deterioration
or distortion, scratch proof and resistant to wear and chemical attack.
Highly polished, sapphire is perfectly transparent.

Water-resistant to 3 bar (30 m / 100 ft)
Water-resistant to 5 bar (50 m / 165 ft)

Stainless steel 316L

Water-resistant to 10 bar (100 m / 330 ft)

For the manufacture of all accessible components of its steel watches,TISSOT® has selected a very high quality stainless steel from the316L family. The advantages of this steel are its high corrosion resistance and excellent durability. For example, certain steels used in the
medical field for the manufacture of implants also belong to the 316L
family.

Water-resistant to 20 bar (200 m / 660 ft)

Like any precision instrument, a watch must be serviced regularly for
optimum operation. As a general rule, we recommend that you haveyour watch checked every 3 to 4 years by your approved TISSOT®
retailer or service centre. However, please note that depending on
the climate and the conditions of use of the watch, a shorter interval
may be required. To benefit from the highest standards of service andto ensure your guarantee remains in force, please always contact anapproved TISSOT® retailer or service centre.

TISSOT® Finishings
Galvanic coatings

Availability of spare parts

These coatings are applied by electrolysis. By varying the timing andcurrent intensity, it is possible to vary the thickness and nature of thedifferent layers (eg gold, silver, copper, etc...).

From the stoppage date of the watch production, TISSOT® guarantees
the availability of its spare parts for a minimum period of 10 years forstandard watches, and for a period of up to 20 years for gold watches.
If for any reason production of a particular spare part is stopped ordeferred, TISSOT® reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to offer
the customer an alternative solution.

PVD (Physical Vapour Deposition) coatingThis process is performed under vacuum. Microscopic particles aredeposited on the products by ion bombing. Very thin layers (1 to 3 µm)
of impurity-free components can be made, which possess a high levelof hardness (nitride, carbides, etc...). PVD has the advantage of beinga thin but hard layer, corrosion resistant, with strong adhesion andproviding a numerous choice of colours. Thanks to the inert nature ofPVD, the risks of intolerance entailed by its use are minimised.
Titanium
Titanium is a metallic element found in the Earth’s crust. Hardenedtitanium is 30 % tougher but around 40 % lighter than steel, and is
100 % recyclable. Thanks to the biocompatible nature of titanium, therisks of intolerance entailed by its use are minimised. When exposedto the atmosphere, titanium forms an oxide film that makes titanium
resistant to salt water and human perspiration corrosion.
Polished Titanium
The models with a polished titanium case and bracelet are made oftitanium which has been polished and protected with a grey PVD surface treatment which improves the resistance of the surface.
