    .... above sea level and it kept great time.

    We just came back form our two weeks vacation in France and the AT was a great companion on this trip. We visited a lot of places and among them the Pic Blanc at Alpe d'Hues at 3330 meter. So I can now confirm that the Aquatimer will surely function proberly within a range of 5330 meters. First thing to do now is read back all that was posted here the last two weeks.

    Glad to be here again and patiently awaiting the arrival of my new IWC hopefully within a few weeks :-))

    Kind regards
    Norbert

    I've always wanted to visit Alpe d'Huez ....

    ...because it's one of the toughest climbs on most Tours de France --beyond category. But I need a flight watch for that height ;)

    Regards,
    Michael
    P.S. It's apparent -you really have great kids.

    Beautiful. I can report the Inge works at 3800 M

    too. This was taken in February. I did not have to climb up, but I did have some bumpy ride down. Love the Alps.

    Looking good there Norbert and I guess

    if the watch can work under water it should do high up as well. I have often taken diver's watches up to 4000 meters and they seem to do very well.

    Nice family picture!
