Whether a watch actually holds pressure depends on the caseback gasket, the crown, and the crystal seal, and this one hasn't been pressure tested. So we're not repeating the number as a specification. Treat it as not water resistant until a test says otherwise. Any watchmaker can do it in a few minutes.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"my-2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"my-2\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn water resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e this is a dive-styled watch, not a tested one.
