FAQ
What is the difference between 304 and 316L stainless steel?
304 stainless steel is common and offers good resistance to oxidation, but it is more sensitive to chlorine and salt water. 316L stainless steel, known as "surgical steel," contains molybdenum, which makes it much more resistant to corrosion. It is the gold standard in watchmaking for maximum durability.
Can I use these spring bars in a swimming pool or at sea?
Yes, our 316L spring bars are suitable for everyday use, including:
- Swimming pool : resistant to chlorine, they retain their strength.
- Sea : withstands salt water, provided the watch is rinsed with clean water after use.
- Diving : Perfect for diving watches thanks to their strong spring and stainless steel construction.
- Hand washing : without any risk of corrosion.
To ensure optimal safety, it is advisable to regularly check the condition of your bars and replace them as soon as any sign of wear appears.
