Your Barracuda Diver is the watch for
professional and amateur divers, as
well as demanding sportsmen. The new
helium escape valve together with all the
protection systems, offer optimal security
and reliability. In order to ensure that your
watch remains watertight, we recommend
that you have it checked by an authorised
service center.

Helium escape valve
When carrying out work at great depths, professional divers stay in a diving bell for several days, breathing a mixture of
gases containing a high proportion of helium. The pressure is gradually increased to reach the pressure at the working
depth. The divers, still inside the bell, are then lowered to the working site. They leave the bell to carry out their work.
Once their work is complete, they re-enter the bell, whic
h is then raised to the surface. Pressure is then returned to
atmospheric levels and this is when the valve must be opened (only for deep-sea dives lasting several days) The helium
molecules diffuse and penetrate the material of the gas kets. The quantity is sufficient to push out the crystal during the
return to atmospheric pressure. To avoid this, the Barracuda Diving watch is equipped with a valve specially produced
by Quantum
Watches.
CAUTION:
PLEASE PAY MORE ATTENTION TO KEEP CLOSED HELIUM ESCAPE VALVE, CHRONO BUTTONS AND SCREW
CROWN. OTHERWISE YOUR WATCH WILL LOSE IT’S WATERPROOF SPESIFICATION.

How to use the helium escape valve? (fig.2)
In its normal position (fig.2.1), the helium escape
valve is perfectly watertight thanks to the gaskets
During the decompression phase, unscrew the crown of the
valve in order to release the mechanism (fig.2.2). The valve is now
watertight from the outside. As the interior pressure becomes
greater than the exterior pressure, it pushes the gasket (A) out of
its seating, thus releasing the gas (fig.2.3). Once the pressure is
equali
sed, gasket (A) returns to its original position, pushed by the

times during the decompression phase. Once atmospheric
pressure is reached, screw down the crown of the valve (fig. 2.1).
Note: Even if the valve is unscrewed, we strongly recommend that
the valve remains screwed down whenever the watch is immersed
in water, the watch is still water-resistant to a relative pressure of
in water, the watch is still water-resistant to a relative pressure of
5 Bar (50 metres). However, complete water-resistance to the dial
depth can only be achieved with gasket (B) and the valve in the
screwed down position.
Automatic helium escape valve: if your watch is equipped with an
automatic helium escape valve, no manipulation is required.
NOTE: Automatic helium escape
