Ogni volta che parlo con un negoziante che vende Omega mi dice che gli Speedmaster impermeabili a 100 m non si devono usare ne in vasca da bagno, ne i piscina, ne in doccia...
Allora perchè c'è scritto 100 m di impermeabilità?
Mi sono quindi deciso di scrivere a Omega, ed ecco la loro risposta:
We would like to assure you that automatic Speedmaster watch is water-resistant to a depth of 100 meters, which makes it suitable for swimming and showering.
After swimming (but not diving) in salt water, the watch should be rinsed with tepid water.
As a general information, all the Omega watches are perfectly water-resistant when leaving the factory and will stay so providing the crown and the seals remain intact.
In fact, the water-resistance is not an invariable built in system, but depends entirely on the good condition of the above mentioned parts. As these are liable to wear and tear, depending on the condition under which the watch is worn, we suggest in our operating instructions booklet that you have the water-resistance checked once a year, preferably before the swimming season.
