Speedmaster Display Back not NASA Flight Qualified

In Response To: SMP NASA Flight Qualified ? ()

: I have been reading about the SMP for only a
: couple of months now and I have just bought
: my first one with the display back. I read

'SMP' is normally used as the abbreviation for the SEAMASTER PRO. But I assume you mean the SPEEDMASTER PRO.

: does not say so, that the SMP with the
: display back is not NASA flight qualified. I

That model is NOT certified for use by NASA because NASA does not have any reason to certify models that they have no reason to use. The display back version is mostly bought by collectors and desk jockeys.

But to pursue your line of thinking, if anybody ever did decide to try NASA certifying it, you are correct that the lack of magnetic shielding would probably prevent it from passing.
