The Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch is one of the most iconic timepieces ever made, yet it only offers 50 meters of water resistance — a glaring weakness in the sub-$7,000 category where buyers expect a true everyday watch. With half a century of unchanged design, an in-house manually wound movement, and the bragging rights of being the first watch worn on the moon, the Speedmaster still stumbles on a basic daily-use specification. Iconic heritage cannot excuse a practical flaw that most competitors solve without thinking.
