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 is a practical maximum depth - only that surface swimming is safe. The logical follow-up would be to consider whether the watch is tested to a depth beyond 50-meters either during the engineering phase or on an individual level before the watches leave the factory. Since most brands do NOT recommend swimming with a 50M watch, I've speculated that the Moonwatch or Omega watches generally are designed/tested beyond the rating on the caseback.
Best,
Tim

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 😉
Definitely….

That when omega says 50 they really mean "you can dive to 50" with this, instead of "this is a dress watch don't swim with it" I'm going to speculate here that the failure point might be the case and not any gaskets, as they might have made the back thinn...

The technician at the Omega boutique advised me on 50 meter speedmasters “don’t even shower with it” having said that I too rinse it with tap water.
I think it’s good that Omega

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