I have a ladies’ Yachtmaster, so not the movement at issue, but my watch turns 20 next month and it keeps great time. I’d guess that the power reserve is at about 30 hours, though.

If you were in a comatose state, wearing it 24/7 won't be enough to keep the watch wound up. It will eventually stop in fairly short order.
It all depends upon your activity levels.
I personally get about 48 hours of power reserve on my Rolex watches if I wear the watch for only 8 hours. That is experimenting with a stopped watch.
And if I wear it for only one hour I get about 6 hours of run time.
