vintage Autavia and/or Carrera waterproof 100m ?

Hi all,

I just read in an old catalogue that the vintage Autavia models are 100 m waterproof. Somehow I can´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
