- This watch is powered by the rare mechanical alarm caliber Poljot 2612.1 ( ex Switzerland A.S. Schild ). Instead of a beeping electronic alarm signal, this mechanical alarm watch features a pleasant but clear metallic alarm signal ( rattling...) due to a small hammer striking mechanism. The upper crown sets the alarm hand to the desired wake-up time (maximum 12 hours in advance) ; it also winds the spring of the alarm function. The alarm only sounds when the alarm spring was wound. The lower crown sets the time and winds the spring of the time indicator. The "alarm function" counts as a particularly beautiful and elaborate complication of mechanical watches and even comes back more and more at watch movement manufacturers.

Water Resistance
....a never-ending source of misunderstandings often caused by the irresponsible advertising of certain competitors, who are usually the ones to refuse any responsibility when damage by water occurs.
Here are the facts in plain English:
1. Every known brand submits the watch to a 2-phase test in a chamber, where it has to withstand to pressure for the minimum length of time required by industrial standards. It may seem a paradox, but low pressure-resistance, say at 0.5 bar equivalent to 50 cm depth is more critical to achieve, because increasing pressure tends to compress the seals, thereby increasing the resistance; the second phase test conducted at 3 bar (30 m.) is confirmatory.
Because of a solid case-construction, the known brands watches will resist to 10 bar (100 m. or 300 ft) and we could confidently call it a «diver’s watch»
2. HOWEVER:
The water resistance of a wristwatch is constantly challenged by mechanical wear caused by bumps, shocks etc., rapid changes in temperature, caustic acids, chemicals, etc. and can therefore not be guaranteed as a permanent condition. I renounces to using inflationary «theoretical» claims; the decision to wear your valuable timepiece for swimming, diving or in the Sauna is yours. On a side-note: only very few specially trained and equipped divers reach depths of 100 m and wear professional computers to indicate the life-saving compression- and decompression data; at such depths, normal watches will just not do.
Thanks for looking and buying a great and unique item. Have a great day !!!
