Daytona crown

[emanuah]

hi,

My Question is:
we all know the daytona got a triple lock master crown, and cuz of that it is a better water resistant, then other models without the triple lock, but what about the two other pushers?
how do they water resistant? are they as much as the triple lock?

tnx ahead for yours replies.

Hi there, my understanding is no, and they can't be used under water either.

The Triplock crown is used on the Daytona for looks, balance, and mystique, not to increase it's water resistance or make it better in any way. The Twinlock crown is more than ample for water resistance and was used on the Sub when it was first introduced.. The Twinlock was also used in Rolex famous ad (crushed Oyster) and withstood 2,000 foot (610 meters) depths without failing.

The pushers use an internal o-ring and case gasket for sealing and are self-contained, just screwed into the case.. They cannot withstand the same pressure as the crown seals but are easily good for the 100 meter depth rating of the Daytona. These o-rings may deform if the pushers are pressed under water and so the locks on the pushers should be used when in the water to avoid their being pushed.. The locks themselves have no other function nor do they help with water resistance.

Although it has a triplock crown its not more W/R than say the twin lock DJ its still 100m,higher water resistance in say the other triplock watches is mainly down having a thicker caseback and case. Now the basically the screw downs on the pushers are to stop you activating the chrono if its not needed .But the pushers have activated and been tested on forum down to 30m by a French dive team without any problem. And the Daytona with the pushers screwed down has been tested down to 63m 207FT underwater without any problem.This depth would be far deeper that most recreational divers would dive, they would limit to around 35m 40m max, so slashing about on surface not a problem. .Even is the pushers are unscrewed and pushed no dust or water sand etc can get in the case even if fully submersed in water to certain depths but would not try past 30m.




Left to right, HEV, Chrono pushers like on Daytona Tudor range,Twin Lock,Triplock.
