·That's because diving with a Speedy Pro is not recommended, and we have official Omega confirmation of this.
No one has said at any point that you should take a speedmaster diving.

·I believe @Nathan1967 used his Speedmaster as a dive watch (along with his Ibiza 'Bund' Speedo as a dive suite 😗) on several occasions...I think we should ask him to settle this dispute once and for all, as the most experienced OF Speedmaster-Divemaster....
50m = 50m
TBH - I only went down to maybe 20m though...,,,but 50m = 50m
I also have a confession about my IWC 3706 but we’ll save that for another day.

My car is good for 150mph.
It doesn't do that speed as I can't get it there without breaking the law, but that doesn't mean it isn't fully capable of doing it.

·What I have gotten from this thread so far, besides pyrosis, is that I need to up my Devil Diver game- holy smoke are there a ton of variants...I want them all!
And they are the only watch that actually says directly on it that you can snorkel with them so Omega can suck it!

··Omega Qualified WatchmakerActually dive watches have to be tested for some 50 hours and every single watch has to be tested. Water resistant watches only need to be tested for 10 minutes and only a small sampling is required - not individual watches.
Well, being able to see Omega’s work instructions, I can tell you that every watch is tested...reputable companies will go beyond the minimum requirements.

Yes there are. I like the earlier variety myself, but they often come with “alphanumeric soup” Bulova calibers, and parts for those tend to be expensive. I think there are also some with ETA movements that would be a bit less to maintain.

·My Trackhawk does 185 mph, it has a steering wheel and large Brembo brakes. That does not mean it’s recommended for racing on a road coarse. That it doesn’t belong on a toad course does not mean it cannot do 185 mph.
The reason people insist that 50m = 50m is because that is what a Speedmaster can handle. People don’t think about Speedies for diving, but they shouldn’t worry about minor exposure to water as long as they’re properly maintained.

·Here’s my Bulova “Snorkel” (although not marked).
It is rated for 666 ft, but I don’t let it get wet. It even boldly declares “waterproof” on the case back, but the crown no longer seals and so it doesn’t pass pressure testing.

OK, now we're going to have a face-off about low profile tires on an off-road vehicle. 😉
(Or maybe that should be a new thread in the Open Discussion forum.)

Of course I used your image- no need for a web grab!
