On a hot, sunny summer day, the inside of your car can reach temperatures 50 to 70 degrees higher than the outside temperature. That's because of the well known 'greenhouse effect' of the heay being allowed in and then trapped by the window glass. But fortunately, a glove box is somewhat more insulated and does not receive direct sunlight, so tends to stay a bit cooler.
Omega reports that their watches should operate with no problem up to 158 F (70 C). Above that, their performance may be at least temporarily off from the lubrication breaking down under the extreme heat.
