Meet The New Omega Seamaster Extremely Deep In Titanium (Stay Photos)

Bear in mind the Seamaster Extremely Deep from 2019? It’s the Omega watch that performed a task in Victor Vescovo’s “5 Deeps Expedition”, and went all the way down to 10,927 meters. Now, in 2022, Omega introduces a model of that watch you’ll be able to really put on (because the 2019 piece had a thickness of 28.5mm). Meet the Seamaster Extremely Deep in titanium. It’s a part of the Planet Ocean assortment and capable of go as deep as 6,000 meters, or 20,000 ft.

I noticed and tried on the 15,000m water resistant Extremely Deep once I was within the Omega Museum in Biel, Switzerland. It’s an extremely spectacular watch, and undoubtedly not appropriate for regular put on. One may have guessed that the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean assortment would obtain slightly make-over or replace, and that Omega could be doing one thing with the design cues of the Extremely Deep. And so the model did. The result’s this Omega Seamaster Extremely Deep in titanium. It’s a forty five.5mm watch with a thickness of 18.12mm. The lug-to-lug is 56mm. That’s nonetheless not small and even modestly sized, however neither is the PloProf. And do you know that the Planet Ocean Chronograph was even thicker?

Omega Seamaster Extremely Deep In Titanium

Omega determined to separate the brand new Seamaster Extremely Deep into two collections. One consists of simply this titanium watch, and there are three references in stainless-steel with symmetrical circumstances. This text is concerning the titanium model although, the watch that comes closest to that Extremely Deep that went all the way down to 10,927 meters for 53 hours and 52 minutes in Might 2019. Omega examined the brand new Seamaster Extremely Deep in grade 5 titanium at 7,500 tons of strain. Omega can do that in-house with testing gear that permits the model to check watches at an equal of 15,000 meters deep.

One of many coolest issues about this watch is the manta lug design, identical to on the 2019 mannequin. It additionally makes it solely wearable on the equipped NATO strap that comes with the watch (or every other NATO strap for that matter). If you wish to put on it on a rubber strap or stainless-steel bracelet, it’s good to discover solace within the stainless-steel variations of this watch that Omega is providing. The {hardware} on the NATO strap can be titanium, and the clasp has a particular form that completely matches the form of the case and its manta lugs.

The case again has been engraved and the black elements on it have been achieved by laser engraving as properly, relatively than with black chrome (which isn’t that good to your pores and skin).

Titanium dial

The dial has a “Ti” marking, indicating its titanium building identical to the case and {hardware} on the NATO strap. The uni-directional bezel with a 60-minute scale is fabricated from ceramized titanium. The hour markers and fingers have a sort of brushed end that appears actually neat when noticed with a loupe. The seconds hand contains a gradient colour that adjustments from white to blue on the tip. For the 45.5mm Seamaster Extremely Deep, nonetheless, Omega achieved the impact by blue gradient portray. It matches the blue markers at 12, 3, 6, and 9 o’clock and the phrases on the dial printed in blue.

ISO 6425-Licensed

There are a variety of watches on the market that meet the necessities for dive watches set by the ISO 6425 requirements. Nonetheless, only some watches are literally licensed to this commonplace. The Omega Seamaster Extremely Deep boasts an official ISO 6425 certification. As such, it has handed 9 particular checks concerning visibility, magnetism, temperature biking, water resistance, basic shock resistance, the resistance of attachments, a free-fall take a look at, a salt spray take a look at, and a helium fuel overpressure take a look at. On the case again, you will see the wording “For saturation diving”. Solely ISO 6425-certified dive watches might characteristic this textual content.

Patents Pending

The 45.5mm titanium Extremely Deep has an asymmetrical case, and presently, 4 patents are pending for the development of this watch. Two of these pending patents relate to the development of the sapphire crystal (which is a whopping 5.2mm thick). One patent is for the conical design of the crown to make sure optimum stress distribution. And final however not least, there’s a patent pending on the case again building and its hole for the gasket. Mixed, these facets stop the Seamaster Extremely Deep from requiring a helium escape valve or monobloc case with a view to be certain nothing occurs to the crystal when the watch is within the decompression chamber after a saturation dive.

Caliber 8912

Omega’s in-house-developed caliber 8912 ticks away contained in the Seamaster Extremely Deep. This motion relies on the caliber 8900, however this caliber doesn’t characteristic a date. It has two sequential barrels which supply 60 hours of energy reserve. In fact, this motion has achieved Grasp Chronometer certification by METAS. As such, it ensures a mean accuracy of +0-5 seconds per day and magnetic resistance to greater than 15,000 gauss. Then there’s the Co-Axial escapement and a free-sprung steadiness with silicon steadiness spring. Although it’s a nice-looking motion, it hides beneath the titanium case again. This caliber additionally finds a house within the titanium Seamaster Ploprof 1200M and the Seamaster 300. Fittingly, Omega additionally used the 8912 within the Seamaster Extremely Deep from 2019.

Remaining ideas

Upon seeing this watch within the flesh, I made a decision that I need to personal one. It’s the first Planet Ocean that I really like, and the truth that it’s so near the unique 2019 Extremely Deep makes it very fascinating. The diameter is 45.5mm and the thickness is eighteen.12mm. However since I put on my Seamaster PloProf 1200M very often as properly, I feel I can get away with it. The NATO strap that goes beneath the case makes it sit even greater on the wrist than 18.12mm, however that’s OK. The metal model may be very good as properly. I used to be capable of attempt all variations, and I just like the orange-bezel mannequin rather a lot. However, one has to make decisions, and so I’ll determine that this Seamaster Extremely Deep in titanium is the one for me.

My assumption is that this Extremely Deep can be the brand new course for the Planet Ocean assortment. Let’s see if Omega will replace the smaller Planet Ocean watches with new designs which might be just like this Extremely Deep.

The worth of the Omega Seamaster Extremely Deep in titanium is CHF 11,400 (with out tax). Discover extra info on the Omega web site.
