I know I've asked this before, more obliquely, w/ regard to the Railmaster series, but does anyone know about -- and can direct me to -- performance specifications, data on Seamaster watches with regard to anti-magnetic, anti-shock characteristics?
The Tom Cruise, updated War of the Worlds post got me thinking about this again.
And, darn it, the Doxa site has it right out there in touting the robust performance of its SUB750T line w/ the ETA 2824 movement:
Q. Are DOXA watches shock-resistant ?
A. Yes. DOXA watches are shock-resistant to 5000 g
Q. Are DOXA watches resistant to magnetic fields ?
A. Yes. DOXA watches are anti-magnetic in accordance with the definitions of the ISO 764 standard. This standard is based on the accidental passage of a watch in a magnetic field of 4,800A/m, i.e. 0.006 Tesla. the effect of the residual magnetism should not exceed 30 seconds per day for a gents watch and 45 seconds per day for a ladies watch.
Sure would like to know how we compare. Thanks!
