Watch repair in Paris — FAQ
What is a watch pressure test?
A pressure test is a diagnostic procedure that checks if a watch's case, crystal, and seals are still water-resistant under specific pressure conditions.
Why does a watch need a pressure test?
Gaskets and seals degrade naturally over time, which can let moisture inside and ruin the delicate movement. Testing ensures the watch remains sealed against water and dust.
How often should I have my watch pressure tested?
It is generally recommended to test water resistance once a year, especially before the summer season or before exposing the watch to water activities.
What happens if a watch fails the pressure test?
If a watch fails, it indicates that the seals or gaskets are compromised. The workshop can locate the source of the leak and replace the faulty components to restore water resistance.
Is a pressure test necessary after a battery replacement?
Yes, opening the watch case to replace a battery can disrupt the existing seals. A pressure test should be performed afterward to confirm the case has been properly resealed.
