Interesting to read. If I had a vintage diver, I don't as my only vintage is an Omega Constellation dress watch, I'm not sure I'd risk swimming in it.


I did swim in the pool and Med on holiday recently with a couple of Tridents and the Dan Henry with no issues. I kmow that was hardly testing the limits of the WR but it is quite satisfying to at least take your diver into some water for a change rather than purely desk diving on a daily basis.

I went swimming every week for a year with this vintage Edox Delfin , with no problems , I did however have it tested before I did . A superb watch which was also fairly accurate .
