We already briefed you concerning the new Seamaster Extremely Deep in titanium, however Omega additionally provides three fashions in metal. Accessible on a metal bracelet and on a rubber strap.
The technical specs of the caliber 8912 motion, the pending patents, the ISO 6425 certification, (and many others.) are all equivalent to the Seamaster Extremely Deep mannequin I mentioned right here. What’s completely different, is the case form and the fabric of the case and bracelet. To start out with the latter, the metal that Omega makes use of for the Seamaster Planet Ocean Extremely Deep is named O-Megasteel.
Seamaster Extremely Deep in O-Megasteel
Three completely different fashions, in complete 6 variations (on strap and bracelet) can be found on this new O-Megasteel alloy. It’s tougher (300 vickers) than 316L and 904L metal, but it does have extra elasticity (like titanium). That means it is not going to keep deformed after being uncovered to large depths. However I’d be stunned in the event you, the proprietor of this watch, would attain these sorts of depths. The opposite benefit of O-Megasteel is that it has a whiter colour and good(r) shine to it than common metal.
Above, the common Planet Ocean in 316L metal subsequent to the Extremely Deep in O-Megasteel. You may clearly see the distinction (no pun meant). Though the diameter (45.5mm) and peak(18.12mm) of the Seamaster Extremely Deep in metal are equivalent to the titanium model, the lug-to-lug is a bit brief with its 51.95mm (as a substitute of 56mm).
Symmetrical metal case with a titanium case again
In contrast to the Seamaster Planet Ocean Extremely Deep in titanium, the metal model has a symmetrical case. Nonetheless, it does have a crown guard (and the titanium model has a recessed crown).
The case again on the metal fashions is manufactured from titanium, for extra sturdy development of the case. Identical to the titanium Extremely Deep, the O-Megasteel model additionally doesn’t want a helium escape valve as a result of development of the crystal, crown, and case again as defined on this article.
Three fashions of the Extremely Deep in O-Megasteel
Omega’s Seamaster Extremely Deep in O-Megasteel will turn into obtainable in black and blue, orange and grey-black gradient, and blue and white. To start out with the latter: reference 215.30.46.21.04.001 (on metal) / 215.32.46.21.04.001 (on rubber) has a white lacquer dial with a blue ceramic bezel with a white enamel diving scale.
The Seamaster Extremely Deep reference 215.30.46.21.06.001 (metal) / 215.32.46.21.06.001 (rubber) has grey-black radiant colour with a clear lacquer. The bezel is manufactured from polished orange ceramic with liquid ceramic and Tremendous-LumiNova diving scale.
Final however not least is the model (215.30.46.21.03.001 for the metal bracelet and 215.32.46.21.03.001 for the rubber strap) with a blue-black gradient dial with a refined black ceramic bezel with LiquidMetal diving scale.
Bracelet or strap
Every Seamaster Extremely Deep in O-Megasteel is obtainable with a metal bracelet or on an identical rubber strap. The clasp on the newly designed bracelet appears to be like very “built-in” and inside there’s the diver’s extension.
The bracelet tapers from 22mm between the lugs to 18mm on the clasp. The clasp is destined to get fewer scratches than regular metal clasps, after all, as a result of hardness of O-Megasteel.
The opposite choice is the rubber strap, which may also prevent some cash. It’s a black rubber strap and relying on the execution of the watch, with completely different extra colours. The white dial and black-grey gradient dial model include the black and blue rubber strap, the orange bezel model comes with the black strap with orange lining.
