Which might help you - I've included a link below.
They don't come much tougher than the Seamaster - I don't know what kind of impact you're talking about in your question below, but the short answer is, if the Seamaster can't take it, then no mechanical watch will help you.
And I do believe the date wheel does rotate right at midnight.

: After looking at a Seamaster GMT in a shop and
: noticing how easy it is to read local and
: GMT at a glance, I am considering purchasing
: a white dial Omega Seamaster GMT to replace
: a Rolex GMT Master II. The reason I have
: some nitpicking questions is that I want to
: get the Seamaster GMT to use as a daily
: working watch.
: One question (probably common) that I have is
: if the Seamaster GMT is stout enough to
: handle an impact without needing to be
: re-regulated.
: Also, since I regularly have to cross time
: zones and leave the USA at night (usually
: crossing the Pacific and leaving anywhere
: from 10 pm to 1 am) and arrive in foreign
: countries at oddball hours, how long does it
: take to change the date, does it change
: close to midnight or does it drag out the
: change over an hour or two, and can the 12
: hour local time zone be reset near the time
: the date changes?
: Additionally, does anyone know if this watch is
: fairly easy to read in red light at night?
: Thank you.
: Richard.
