Omega's Seamaster Planet Ocean Ultra Deep Professional
Omega's Seamaster Planet Ocean Ultra Deep Professional
You have probably have seen this everyone. It's Omega's Seamaster Planet
Ocean Ultra Deep Professional, and it's the world's deepest dive watch.
This watch actually went along on Adventurer Victor Vescovo's submersible
dive to the bottom of the Mariana Trench earlier this May. Diving to an
amazing 10,928m in depth. Thanks to the watch actually having case body,
case back, bezel, and crown constructed out of cutoffs of the submersibles
titanium hull, and wide viewport-like sapphire crystal too.
In addition, you even have the use of liquid metal to avoid the use of
polymer seals, and give better sapphire to case body assembly. As well
as special Manta lugs, METAS certified chronometer movement, and it's
all tested to 15,000m guys.
A few pictures...
OceanicTime, and Omega with a much more for you...

Thanks for the head up on this one. Some cool technology.

Re: Omega's Seamaster Planet Ocean Ultra Deep Professional
Omega just can't help being Rolex's little brother. "We made a deep sea challenge too! We call it `deepER sea challenge'. It's even more challengering so take that!".

Kinda pointless then! You know what is infinitely water resistant? A rock!

Re: Omega's Seamaster Planet Ocean Ultra Deep Professional
That's like saying that designing an F1 car that gets 0.2 mpg and can hit 225mph is pointless because it's impractical to commute in. It's simply a technology showcase with possible trickle down applications.
Oh, and you can't time a dive with a rock
Re: Omega's Seamaster Planet Ocean Ultra Deep Professional
No, this is like designing that F1 car without a steering wheel! It’s a technology showcase that removed the defining characteristic of the technology it was trying to push the limits on.logan2z wrote:That's like saying that designing an F1 car that gets 0.2 mpg and can hit 225mph is pointless because it's impractical to commute in.

And you can’t dive with this Omega either!

But this definitely extends ylthe pointless.

Re: Omega's Seamaster Planet Ocean Ultra Deep Professional
Rolex did basically the same thing with the deep sea challenge, and it was just as unwearable and only meant to be a prototype. But the point is that Rolex did basically the same thing with the deep sea challenge, so...

Re: Omega's Seamaster Planet Ocean Ultra Deep Professional
Maybe I'm not following your line of reasoning but this Omega is a timing device that can be strapped to a wrist for use during diving. It nay not be practical to wear in day to day situations but it's defining characteristics seem to be intact.matt.wu wrote: ↑Fri Jun 21, 2019 3:46 pmNo, this is like designing that F1 car without a steering wheel!

Re: Omega's Seamaster Planet Ocean Ultra Deep Professional
This man gets it.
I do like the baby blue dial accents though.

And I just noticed you said more or less the same thing first, which makes my comment unintentionally ironic.JP Chestnut wrote: ↑Fri Jun 21, 2019 5:56 pmThis man gets it.

Re: Omega's Seamaster Planet Ocean Ultra Deep Professional
I’m going to agree with Jacob for a change on this one.
As a new skywalker owner they’d be better off staying in the space watch niche and offer a Mars diver with 200m WR on the off chance astronauts eventually encounter 1mm of ice on Mars in our lifetime
The PO is a great watch but too young a model and nowhere near Rolex clout for these shenanigans.

Re: Omega's Seamaster Planet Ocean Ultra Deep Professional
Wouldn’t be surprised if they issue a special wearable commemorative version with the same dial and bezel.

Re: Omega's Seamaster Planet Ocean Ultra Deep Professional
Could market it as a dive weight that tells the time.
Re: Omega's Seamaster Planet Ocean Ultra Deep Professional
Exactly. And the Deep Sea prototype was 28.5mm thick and steel.JBZ wrote:Rolex did basically the same thing with the deep sea challenge, and it was just as unwearable and only meant to be a prototype. But the point is that Rolex did basically the same thing with the deep sea challenge, so...
The style on this one is gorgeous.
