oh no. 10bar water resistance is just an equivalent of pressure in speed or space
vs speedmaster but doesn't mean that the such pressure should be applied on the
watch under water. just my 2 cnts
So what is this pressure testing for if not to determine water resistance? Pressure is pressure...
Did you read any NASA test procedures?

That has zero relevance to the question of swimming with a Speedmaster - the subject of this thread. The watch has a 50m water resistance rating, not a space resistance or air resistance rating...

Ha ha
.
I know the thread. just asking if NASA really did conduct a water resistance test on speed master? Or did omega really certified the speed master as 50m water resistance. Consider me speedy fan lunatic but not a fanboy. Haha
"WATER-RESISTANCE :5 bar"
Pardon my ignorance, if you can refresh my memory. What particular speedy reference or dial does this mark appear?
Pardon my ignorance
I wouldn't recommend it unless you're prepared to pick up the tab if it floods. Some people are and more power to them but there's a set of photos somewhere here of a 3750.50 I believe that @Archer had to salvage after getting flooded and it was not a pleasant sight. I mean technically you can take your Toyota Prius off-roading but it doesn't necessarily mean its a particularly good idea.
*edit: The pics are actually on page 3 of this thread too, and they're remarkably sad to look at, be prepared to cough up for that if you take the plunge.
Couldn't that also be because fewer people swim with speedmasters and more do with seamasters?
