How is the water resistance of Tissot mechanical watches? Are Tissot mechanical watches water-resistant?

　　Tissot is a legendary Swiss watch brand with a history spanning over a century. To this day, Tissot continues to introduce new designs and watchmaking techniques. Always putting the customer first, it brings many high-quality watch products to consumers. So, how is the water resistance of Tissot mechanical watches? Are Tissot mechanical watches water-resistant? Time Zone will introduce this to you below.

　　Unless explicitly marked with water-resistant capabilities, Tissot mechanical watches must be kept strictly away from water getting inside the case, as water causes mechanical corrosion and has very destructive power. Seawater must be avoided at all costs. Even for watches noted as water-resistant, they only carry a one-year water-resistance guarantee, after which the waterproof gaskets must be replaced with new ones, otherwise they will lose their water-resistant function.

　　Mechanical Watch Maintenance Methods and Precautions: Water Resistance

　　Although many mechanical watches specify water resistance depths and other parameters in their specifications, for any watch, contact with water should be avoided as much as possible.

　　Aside from water resistance, Tissot mechanical watches also require proper maintenance. Generally speaking, Tissot mechanical watches should be serviced 1 times every 2 to 3 years. During servicing, all components of the Tissot watch must be completely disassembled, the movement cleaned with number 120 petrol, and the other mechanisms inside the watch cleaned using professional equipment before final oiling and reassembly. In addition to cleaning the movement, the exterior case of the watch should also be ground and polished during a service. Older watches can generally be restored to eighty percent of their original condition after professional cleaning.

　　Precautions for Wearing and Using Tissot Mechanical Watches

　　1. Because leather Tissot watch straps are easily penetrated, avoid contact with oily substances or cosmetics.

　　2. Tissot watches with mechanical movements should undergo a complete overhaul every 3-5 years. This not only keeps the watch running in optimal condition but also effectively extends its service life.

　　3. Maintenance of Tissot watch straps: Tissot watch straps should avoid contact with moisture and humidity to prevent discoloration and deformation.

　　4. Tissot watch straps should avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight to prevent fading.
