The most Seamaster line of watches (except the Aqua Terra) are more than capable of a dip in the swimming pool and a trip to the sauna.... Heck, people have snow boarded with Seamasters. James Bond dives with it all of the time in Die Another Day (there's a true testimony of the Seamaster's durabiliy). Expect a lot from your $2K watch, but just don't expect TOO much.....

At first, everyone is reluctant to put their precious timepiece in a potentially scarring situation, but you have one that is fully capable of all of the journeys you described earlier.
