Magno Moon Swiss Men's Watch J4.583.L

A watch with a water resistance rating of 5 ATM (atmospheres) is suitable for everyday use and can withstand splashes, rain, and showering. According to ISO standard 22810, this level of water resistance signifies that the watch can withstand static pressure equivalent to submersion at a depth of 50 meters.

While a 5 ATM rating offers more protection than a 3 ATM rating, it is important to understand the limitations for swimming. The dynamic forces exerted during swimming, such as the movement of your arms through the water and the impact of diving, can create pressure that exceeds the static test conditions.

Therefore, while your Jowissa watch with a 5 ATM rating can tolerate brief immersion and splashes, we generally advise against wearing it for prolonged swimming or diving activities. Consistent exposure to these conditions may compromise the water-resistant seals and potentially lead to water damage which would not be covered under the warranty.

For regular swimming or more intensive water activities, we recommend considering Jowissa models with a higher water resistance rating, typically 10 ATM or more. These models are specifically designed and tested to withstand greater water pressure and are more suitable for such use. Please refer to the technical specifications of each Jowissa watch on our website for detailed information on their water resistance level.

The moon-phase indication is a device serving to visualize on the watch dial the various appearances adopted by the Earth's satellite in the course of a lunar cycle: it may be waxing, full, waning or entirely hidden by the shadow of the Earth - and thus referred to as a new moon.

These different phases are traditionally represented by a mobile disk bearing two diametrically opposite depictions of the Moon alternately appearing through an aperture. The latter is cut out so as to provide a visual simulation of the Moon's waning and waxing episodes. As soon as the first interpretation vanishes, the second instantly comes on the scene. Moon phases may also be indicated by means of a hand pointing to various symbols, or by a three-dimensional sphere spinning on its axis, and of which one half is light-colored while the other is dark.

The mechanical difficulty of moon phases lies in the unusual interval between two full moons. By the 20th century, this complication had become essentially a romantic feature.

YES

A Jowissa watch is tested for 3 to 20 ATM water resistance depending on the collection.
3 ATM: Watches tested for 3 ATM should not be worn when bathing or showering. They are build to withstand light rain, sweat and brief water contact.
5 ATM: Watches tested for 5 ATM are made to withstand rain, sweat and short swims.
10 ATM: Short dives, swim and other water sports are ok
20 ATM: Deep Dives, swims and other water sports are ok.

Yes, the length of our steel and ceramic bracelets can be adjusted to fit an individual wrist size. When you order with jowissa.com we shorten the bracelet for you free of charge. Optionally your local watch dealer may also offer the bracelet adjustment as a service.

The expected battery life is 2 to 4 years depending on external factors like heat and cold. Jowissa uses standard silver oxide battery cells in combination with high quality and low energy consuming Swiss quartz movements.

The name Jowissa is a combination of the surname and lastname of the company founder Josef Wyss. He founded Jowissa in the village of Bettlach, Switzerland in 1951. Jowissa has been active and in business without interruption since then.

Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD) is a process where an exceptionally pure, solid coating material is used to generate an ionized metal vapour which forms a coating mixture with inert gases.

Through condensation, a thin layer is deposited onto the surface of the watch. The PVD process is carried out under a forced vacuum in a coating chamber. This procedure is one of the most modern and ecologically sustainable coating technologies. PVD coatings are highly adhesive, hard and abrasion-resistant. They are extremely smooth and particularly suited to coating watch parts. These coatings can be single-layer, multi-layer or can be applied in graduated layers. The layer thickness ranges from 1 to 5 microns, although in some cases, just 0.5 microns or 15 microns and more can be applied.

Depending on the initial material and the inert gas employed, a wide range of PVD coatings can be applied. Essentially, these fall into four main groups: nitrides, carbides, oxides and carbons (Diamond like carbon).
