Now, the other night I was cooking some salmon while wearing a Speedmaster. Does this mean I should be worried!?
I must be bored, I just read this thread from start to finish....
My thoughts,
.I would not use the Speedmaster as a dive watch, not because it would leak but because the way the dial is set up it would be almost impossible to read at depths beyond 20 metres and it lacks the features required for diving.
.I did about 30 dives with a friend who wore a Speedmaster down to -30 metres on three occasions, he forgot to take it off before the dive.
The Speedmaster survived though was quite useless as a dive watch, too hard to read. The first time he did it he got stressed and almost decided to surface, the second time he only realised when we got back on board, the third time he gave the watch a light case of coral rash.
After that he would borrow one of my Seiko Monsters.
.I doubt too many Omegas of any description actually get wet in the brine.
.I liked Archer's Pressure Test Pictorial, great post.
. 99.99% of all SCUBA dives are down to less than -30 metres....
.Trolls exist on all forums....
.You can lead a horse to water but you cannot force it to drink...

I wish to officially declare a truce in this thread...
It seems we have agreement at last! 😎
How did I get roped into this?!? I’m still trying to sleep off my Snorkel pub crawl!
I guess now we have to all gather up our snorkels and go home?

Dear,
Thank you for your message.
We do not recommend snorkeling or scuba diving with an OMEGA Speedmaster Professional.
Kind regards,
Your OMEGA team.
It's a good thing that no one here has ever recommended snorkeling (sorry JwR!) or scuba diving with their Speedmasters!
50m means 50m...as it always has...😉
