| Post subject: | Water Question |
I have a Chrono Evo and was curious to know.... Can you use the Chrono Buttons underwater or not? The only reason I am asking is because I was recently on a vacation (Mexico) and was in the pool and noticed that my Button/Screw was not FULLY Tightened and it scared me!  However, it was not fully loosened either. AM I GOOD?  Thanks! |

You are probably fine. It's obviously not good to operate the chronograph under water but it's not disasterous either. You could also do a condensation test to see if you've had any water infiltration. Condensation test. The watch shall be placed on a heated plate at a temperature between 40 °C and 45 °C until the watch has reached the temperature of the heated plate (in practice, a heating time of 10 minutes to 20 minutes, depending on the type of watch, will be sufficient). A drop of water, at a temperature of 18 °C to 25 °C shall be placed on the glass of the watch. After about 1 minute, the glass shall be wiped with a dry rag. Any watch which has condensation on the interior surface of the glass shall be eliminated. |

You can't operate the pushers while the watch is underwater, if you do you will allow water to enter the case, leaving the pusher unlocked (but not operating it) should not cause any issues, unless you have a sea wolf, in which case you can operate the pushers under water as they are magnetically operated and therefore the operating mechanism does not penetrate the case. |

Chronomat pushers are not designed to be operated under water but the pusher screwdowns are simply a safeguard against accidental operation. The watch is just as waterproof with the pushers unscrewed. |
