A serious depth rating was top of the list of features for space flight at NASA or ESA. This watch is a technical marvel. Have you ever dived to 50m 😉

I’ve been swimming with my X-33 Skywalker …

+ Astronauts train in swimming pool. Need to check photos to see if they have the watches on their writsts!

Let me address this

My experience through talks with Robert-Jan Broer is his direct instruction from Omega that a person can swim with a 50-meter Moonwatch. This means surface swimming, not diving to 50 meters. Omega's confidence might or might not mean the 50-meter rating i...

keeps its relationship with NASA and space flight even though I’m not a flightmaster fan…🫤

I wonder what he'll do . . .

. . . if the battery dies while he's in space. ...  

He won't have to worry about "dropping" the battery clip and its tiny screw on the floor of his spacecraft, that's for sure
