Do not expose your watch to intense magnetic fields such as loudspeakers, portable telephones,
computers or refrigerators and other electromagnetic appliances.
•HARMFUL PRODUCTS
Avoid direct contact with solvents, detergents, and perfumes, cosmetic products etc., since they
may damage the bracelet, the case and/or the gaskets.
•CARE
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 a soft cloth. After being worn in the sea, the watch must be rinsed with warm fresh
water and then dried completely.
WATER RESISTANCE
Water resistance of watches is rated based on laboratory pressure tests comparable to a swimmer or diver
sitting still at that pressure level. 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 a water-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 the crown. The water resistance level of your William L. 1985 watch is indicated on
its caseback:
1. [3atm / 30m / 100ft]
Watches water resistant to 30 meters /100 feet.
2. [5atm / 50m / 165ft] [10atm / 100m / 330ft] [20atm / 200m / 660ft]
Watches water resistant to 50, 100 or 200 meters /165, 330 or 660 feet.
3. [10atm / 100m / 330ft] [20atm / 200m / 660ft] [30atm / 300m / 1000ft]
Watches water resistant from 100 to 300 meters / 330 to 1000 feet or more with screw down crown
and diving bezel.
According to the water resistance 1, 2 or 3 listed above, watches are protected against:
1-2-3 Water splashes / Rain
2-3 Shower & Bath with no direct stream / Shallow water activities
3 Water sports / Scuba diving of the surface
Also, never activate the time-setting crown and/or the pushers while the watch is under water and make sure
that the crown has been pushed/screwed down tightly after every operation.
And, do not under any circumstances open the watch yourself; arrange to get it inspected by an authorized
William L. 1985 Service Center only.
