Ātete wai
The Laco 1925 Pilot Classic watch is water resistant up to 5 ATM (50 meters / 165 feet). This rating makes it suitable for short periods of recreational swimming, but it is not designed for diving or snorkeling. Avoid operating the crown while the watch is wet or submerged to prevent water intrusion.

Time Inaccuracy
If your watch is not keeping accurate time, ensure it is sufficiently wound. Automatic watches require consistent movement or manual winding if not worn daily. If the issue persists after ensuring proper winding, professional inspection by a qualified watchmaker may be required to diagnose and correct any internal movement issues.
