Dust, mud, and cold

I am thinking of purchasing a GMT or automatic SMP. I have a few questions.
1. The omega website states to avoid temps below 0 Celcius. I periodically work outside in the dust, mud, rain, sleet, snow and the cold (currently it's minus 35deg C/minus 31 deg F), the rest of the time is in the office or pursuing outdoor activities. Will the Omega stand up to these conditions?
2. I am leaning towards the GMT because I'll have limited used for a bezel and think the less moving parts the better. Are the internal parts, GMT and SMP similar?
3. I have the one watch does all philosophy. For the last 13 years I have used a Casio G-shock without a hitch. Will the Omega do the same with reasonable use?

Thanks in advance.
