Please post the proof of waterproof ability from a scientific, horological or government agency.
Once again, if Hans Wisldorf has taught us anything it's that advertisements mean absolutely nothing until the claim has been proven.
Before the Depollier???
It uses completely archaic case inside of another case tech.
Just like the 1922 Rolex Submarine.
Yes, they were sold to the general public and to the military.
The Depollier and the Rolex both use case key tech, you needed a "key" to open and close the case.
Depollier had this tech about a decade before Rolex.
Both had screw down crowns and gaskets.
Depollier had this tech 8 years before Rolex.
Depollier had a CONFIRMED and tested waterproof wrist watch 8 YEARS before Rolex.
This is undeniable.
Rolex even stole Depollier market campaign!
The picture below is just for OPENERS!
The Waltham Depollier Field & Marine Waterproof Watch did in FACT have a screw down crown in 1918. So did the 1919 Waltham Depollier THERMO Waterproof Watch.
Can you please give us the names of the two supposed naval officers at the center of this story about the Tavannes? It being one of the most important moments in horological history you can at least give us their names?
Bloke,
Please post the ACTUAL evidence of your statement from a government, horological or scientific agency attesting to this. Advertisements are not evidence.
