[Omega Speedmaster] Are Omegas poorly engineered compared to other brands? (alien.top)

I'm new to watches and I wanted my first to be an Omega. I like them because of immature reasons like the moon thing and the James Bond thing, but after looking into them for a couple of days I see that they have low reserves compared to other brands. Rolex Submariner has 70 hours, and even the much lower-priced Tudor Black Bay has 70 hours, while Speedmaster and Seamaster come in at 50-55 hours. It seems like that's an indication of worse design and engineering. Or, if not, what am I missing?

That's a good point!
