Re: vintage Autavia and/or Carrera waterproof 100m ?

No matter what the catalogs say, I wouldn't use my Carrera for even washing my hands...

: Hi all,

: I just read in an old catalogue that the vintage Autavia models are
: 100 m waterproof. Somehow I canĀ“t believe that as I never
: heared about a vintage chrono to be 100 m waterproof.

: Has anyone tested his Autavia to be waterproof? If yes,
: theoretically a vintage Autavia could also be used for swimming?

: How about the Carrera? Are they also rated 100 m waterproof?

: thanks a lot for your input.

: cheers, christoph
