Designed to test the seals and casing of watches, it is an affordable option for verifying water resistance up to 6 ATM. While some watches are rated for higher pressures, testers exceeding this rating can be significantly more expensive. Based on our experience, this tester is effective for determining the water-tightness of the vast majority of watches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLeak Detection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ideal for determining if a leak is due to user error, such as failing to screw down the crown, or a genuine failure of the watch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollector Use:\u003c\/strong\u003e Perfect for collectors of older dive watches or water-resistant models who wish to test them before snorkeling or swimming.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTransparent Cylinder:\u003c\/strong\u003e Allows you to observe which part of the watch is not waterproof, indicated by the appearance of small bubbles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccurate Detection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps identify routine seal failures and pinpoint the exact location of the problem.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 or 2 watches can be tested simultaneously.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Aluminium.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Test Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 72 mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Test Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 65 mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExternal Pressure Interface:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 N.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Test Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 - 6 bar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCylinder Maximum Pressure:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 bar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCylinder External Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80 mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCylinder Internal Diameter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 65 mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCylinder Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 140 mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.4 kg.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240 mm x 145 mm x 275 mm.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Use the Pressure Tester:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrepare the Cylinder:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fill the cylinder with distilled water up to the indicated level to avoid lime deposits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlace the Watch:\u003c\/strong\u003e Attach the watch(es) to the internal hook.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSecure the Lid:\u003c\/strong\u003e Replace the lid and screw it down tightly using the two tensioning nuts on the top.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncrease Pressure:\u003c\/strong\u003e Use the lever to raise the pressure to 3 atmospheres (as per the Swiss watch industry standard), then wait for 3 minutes to allow air to enter the watch.
