Sailing
With our way of testing Schuhren watches we try to do things that other people will, well we had the chance to spend some time at sea on a yacht a couple of weeks ago (perks of the other job). Unfortunatly the admiral dial was not ready in time to take it for sea trials but our test watch has the same case, so it went with me. We also took another watch from a larger and more expencive manufacture but its heavy bracelet made it a pain on board, with the leather band the schuhren spent the majority of the time on my wrist at sea with out a hitch. whether winching or grinding, sat for hours on the tiller or enjoying a drink in the evening it fitted the situation perfectly. Dont forget to treat the leather band with some conditioner or leather food before venturing out in the sea as the salt water would not be its best friend.
Kuwaiti Desert
I recently spent 5 weeks in the Kuwaiti desert and my watch of choice was an Observer model, I can report that the watch survived admirably in all fields of form and function, having dealt with high temperatures during the day, cold at night, dust storms and very abrasive conditions. I can also say that this has some of the best luminous qualities I have found in any watch I have owned including some particularly high end watches. The nights at this time of year is particularly long and anyone who has been there will tell you that when it gets dark out here it is like the lights being turned off, the observer remained visible at all times through out the night.
Underwater Testing
While wondering what would happen if someone spent a long time underwater and needed to wind their watch we thought we would find out, so with a new camera we headed to the pool. No problems at all, so swimming is fine as we knew and if you feel the need you can wind under water also, Do not however pull the crown to set the time!
