These factors influence the ageing of the water
resistance gaskets. That is why you need to have the
water resistance of your watch checked on a regular
basis by an approved Pequignet dealer.
NB:
- always screw in the crown or press it back in against the
case to prevent water from penetrating into the
mechanism.
-do not use the chronograph push-pieces or winding stem
underwater.
-after immersion in seawater or a swimming pool, rinse
your timepiece in lukewarm water and dry it with a soft
cloth.
Magnetic fields
Our environment is subject to interference from
electromagnetic sources. This interference may have a
direct impact on the operation of both self-winding and
quartz watches.
Your watch is affected by powerful magnetic fields. In
certain cases, the interference may magnetise certain
steel parts in the movement, such as the self-winding
system oscillating weight ball bearing, and more
particularly the balance-spring.
The balance-spring loops may stick together,
and the watch could rapidly gain/lose rate, or
even stop.
