If a water-resistant watch is exposed to sea water, it should be washed well in fresh water and wiped dry.

Batteries should be changed by the manufacturer or approved service agent so that the seal can be checked and renewed if necessary. If this is not done, the watch will no longer be guaranteed water resistant.
