Innovations in endurance testing
The world's largest classification society for maritime safety DNV GL (formerly Germanischer Lloyd, Hamburg), has been testing our
diving watches for pressure and water resistance since 2005. As part of DNV GL's official certification process, our diving watches
have been treated as part of diving equipment since 2006 and tested and certified in accordance with European diving equipment
standards. This is unparalleled in the watch industry. Selected pilot watches are tested and certified by independent institutions
according to the DIN 8330 Horology – Aviator watches in an extensive and complex type and unit verification process. This ensures
that a DIN 8330-compliant pilot watch is not only a suitable all-round replacement for the on-board timekeeping instruments available
to pilots, but is also capable of remaining unaffected by the physical stresses of flight, posing no risk potential for the crew or aircraft,
and demonstrating compatibility with other on-board
instruments.
The Temperature Resistance Technology keeps
mechanical watches performing at temperatures
ranging from −45 °C to +80 °C. This technology has
proven its worth in the EZM 10 TESTAF, for example,
used as part of the official approvals procedure for
Airbus Helicopters (formerly Eurocopter) EC 145 T2
high-performance helicopter. The 303 CRYSTAL is
impressive proof of the functional reliability of our
watches under the toughest climatic conditions.
Equipped with Temperature Resistance Technology,
the chronograph passed the acid test at the Yukon
Quest, the world's most demanding dogsled race. The
203 ARCTIC passed its Arctic endurance test on the
wrist of extreme diver Mario M. Weidner, withstanding
all dives in the freezing cold waters of the Arctic
Ocean above 81 degrees latitude. Both watches were
worn on top of protective clothing. The real test was
in the extreme temperature fluctuations between
water and land – a test that the 303 CRYSTAL and the
203 ARCTIC passed with flying colours.
Die magnetische Signatur einer Fliegeruhr nach DIN 8330 darf die im Luftfahrzeug zugelassenen Magnetkompasse durch ihre räumliche Nähe nicht signifikant
ablenken. Mit Hilfe eines Spezialprüfstandes wird die magnetische Signatur einer Fliegeruhr ermittelt. Zuerst wird die Testuhr entmagnetisiert und danach einem
homogenen Magnetfeld definierter Feldstärke ausgesetzt. In einem zweiten Prüfschritt wird mit Hilfe der abgebildeten Apparatur des Prüfstandes die magnetische
Signatur der Testuhr ausgewertet.
The magnetic signature of a pilot watch certified according to DIN 8330 must not significantly divert the approved magnetic compasses in the aircraft through
its physical proximity. The magnetic signature of a pilot watch is identified using a special test stand. First the test watch is demagnetised and then exposed to a
homogeneous magnetic field of defined field strength. In the second stage of the test, the magnetic signature of the test watch is analysed using the test stand
apparatus pictured.
