The worst thing you have to worry about with your watch and showering with it is getting an accumulation of soap scum over time from washing it and not sufficiently rinsing it. I have found that a good ammonia based jewelry cleaner ( dilute ) will remove soap scum.
If it is water resistant to a few meters, you have nothing to worry about with a shower or a bath. Use soaps that have no perfumes or conditioners. I use a dish washing detergent called DAWN which will strip pretty much anything from the watch. Dawn even cuts dried wax. Wash your car with dawn before rewaxing.
I have 35 watches, all get the same treatment, not a single one leaks, even my 40 year old seamaster.
Relax my friend. We are talking about OMEGA here.
( Not that I worry about my Seiko, citizen, panerai, timex, sector, or tags either. )
