You've been miss-reading this all along. You can, in fact, snorkel with your Speedmaster. Here's @JwRosenthal showing you how to do it without any risk to your watch. You can relax now...

 

Bob, now you’re just being cruel to my liver-I cant drink this much!!

DOUBLE SNORKEL!!

 

That's good to know.

I'm curious. What are the minimum requirements for the Speedmaster ?

 

See, I like an SUV that can handle racing, even though I don’t race it.

I also like a chrono that can handle 50m depth, even though I neither dive nor snorkel.

I’m a mixed up kinda guy...

 

Dude- couldn’t you just have said dive or body surf, or dive and boogie board....

Snorkel.....

 

I’m prepared to go through this with you, my man-cave is stocked... (only one corner, but it’ll do for a few more pages in this thread!)

SNORKEL!!!!

 

I get it. My wife says that about me all the time...

 

Hey how much was that Laphroiag?

 

Too much... I may give it to a good friend in the future.

 

That is not Snorkel game drinking material! Dewars will work just fine.

 

Dammit- I said it again,

SNORKEL!!

 

Snorkel Snorkel Snorkel

 

I’m tapped out on that one-
Your turn @gostang9

 

One of my favorite tracks (the original LP version) for testing a stereo system.

 

I also like Heart "Allies" from Passionworks.

This is covered in Work Instruction 22, where it states:

"All OMEGA watches must be tested with the air tests after every opening and closing of the case."

The specific testing requirement is dependent on a few things, such as the crystal material, crystal diameter, case material in some instances (ceramic), and what the depth rating of the watch is. The Speedmaster Pro variants are tested using a dry testing machine, like the one shown in this thread:

Any watch rated for more than 10 bar (100m) is required to have a wet test, also shown in that thread.
