I don't want to use it for diving, but I would expect to be able to swim in it. 5 bar is obviously suitable for that (it would be equivalent to 40 or 50 metres, depending on whether you included the surface atmospheric pressure) but I'd need to check that that did indeed apply to this watch. Could you give a link to the page you found it on?


I don;t know anything about this watch, what you paid for it, what it was made for or even what it looks like. I tend to be very careful with my vintage watches, even if it's pressure tested with a new crystal and a screw down crown I do my best not to get vintage watches wet or expose them to shock or other trauma. But it's your watch, do as you please.
