3 New Omega Seamaster and Speedmaster Watches
As in recent years, Omega introduced? new watches in its Seamaster, Speedmaster and Constellation collections at last year’s Baselworld. Here is what you need to know about them.The new Omega Speedmaster Mark II is based on a model released in 1969, the same year that astronauts wore Omega Speedmaster Professional watches on the surface of the moon, forever earning that model the nickname “Moonwatch.” The original Speedmaster Mark II contained the same hand-wound mechanical caliber that powered the Moonwatch, Omega’s Caliber 861.

Breitling Galactic for diving
I own a Galactic II, A13364 Chrono rated waterproof to 300M. I've used it in the pool numerous times with no problems. I scuba dive and was wondering what you guys think about using the watch at 40' to 100'. Some say that using a Chrono as a dive watch isn't a good idea due to the 3 stems.
