Swimming with perpetual calendar

Serious question. Are there any perpetual calendar watches you would be ok swimming with? Thinking something like this IWC.

Yeah, I certainly wouldn't swim in one based on the majority of depth ratings for those pieces. It's good that you're looking for one you can use to the max though.

My own requirement is min. 50m WR with screw down crown is ok for surface swimming.

And also take the advice of the manufacturer on whether the watch they created is designed to be used for swimming.

If 80 meters is okay for swimming then this Blancpain Leman could work, and it comes with a chronograph too.

Thanks for the responses thus far. That Blancpain is interesting. Would love to hear other recommendations for a mechanical perpetual calendar!

It was a vague memory Brian...I had to look it up again. Cool piece, though, eh? Ten year battery life, no need for a winder.
