Water resistance

Your Gerard McCabe watch is water resistant up to 10 ATM. It is protected in everyday life, swimming, snorkeling and water sports. It is not suitable for diving.

The water resistance is guaranteed by several seals but cannot be considered as permanent protection. They are subject to a natural aging process and need to be replaced after a certain time of use. However, under certain circumstances, the integrity of the moisture resistance may become compromised within a shorter period of time. Furthermore, impacts to the crown can influence the water resistance as well. A perfect long-term protection is given by annual water resistance tests.

Band care

Your Gerard McCabe stainless steel band needs special care. This band can collect dust and dirt. Bring your watch to a Gerard McCabe showroom periodically to
have your band cleaned by our jeweller.

Warranty conditions

Your Gerard McCabe watch is covered by a 3 year guarantee against manufacturing defects from the date of purchase. This warranty does not cover damage to bands or glass. Nor does it cover damage, accidental or otherwise, caused by contact with water or customer misuse. Any damage caused by repairs or alterations by unauthorised technicians may void your warranty. Your warranty card must be presented to obtain warranty services.
