Question for Bathyscape owners
Can you use the sail cloth strap in the pool and the sea, or does it degrade it? The stitching looks very nice but I’m wondering if it is vulnerable in the water.
Also, do you find the watch fully useable as a water sport piece, and is it susceptible to scratches from sand and use in sea/salt water?
I am thinking the Bathyscaphe May be a good addition to my collection which has been focused latterly on useable, luxury sport watches.

It is designed...
to be in the sea. I have used mine (on a ff) for around 9 years and it behaved greatly. But bear in mind that all straps after extensive use will need to be replaced... Enjoy it in the sea as it is meant to be... (It actually looks better after it develop...
