I was so wrong about this - The amazing Omega ULTRA DEEP

[@grahamwallace]

Probably one of the best looking watches I’ve seen in a while. That bracelet is stunning.

[@sergesmets5685]

@@happydogg312 Having 2 Omega divers myself i'd say skip one and go for a PO 600m .The bracelet is about the same (or actually the same, haven't seen or tested it ) and just looks better . Sure it won't go down to 1000m and more , but nobody does that anyways . You even save some cash on buying the PO's above this one . Investment wise , idk , since this will be sold a lot less so it might be a market there in the future , but i doubt it has better value in long term vs a PO . BTW i got a PO 2209.50.00 so a 1st gen coaxial , and i would love to have another PO if a few Speedmasters wouldn't be poking in my brain right now ...

[@cradiecast8407]

I just got mine a week ago. Love the size, very comfortable on my wrist and keeps perfect time. A real show stopper. The AD gave me a great price with substantial discount. I also have 2 other Planet Oceans and a Seamaster in Steel & Gold. Love Omega!!.

[@jackprick9797]

I like the no-date and no visible helium valve. Need to get these features to the 600M and 300M divers.

[@durrenbt]

Clasp looks like a massive improvement. The clasps from older SMPs and Planet Oceans were so elegant the way they matched the width, height, and curvature of the bracelet links. I would love to see a return to that.

[@BruceWilliams]

The clasp is quietly Omegas best in a long time. Maybe ever

[@jefferyneu3915]

Thank you for bringing us this one Bruce. It is ridiculous and amazing. I would probably trade every automatic watch I have for that! I will likely not dive again, but would absolutely love to take that one to 120 feet in Grand Cayman. My SMP has been there and worked flawlessly as a night dive watch. Night is my favorite time to dive and Omega’s lume application works well for any duration dive.

[@BruceWilliams]

That would be awesome!

[@lpg12338]

Keep up the great work! 👍

[@BruceWilliams]

Wow thank you very much! I really appreciate that

[@jimgreene4248]

Excellent review and I had the pleasure of trying on this piece at my AD today. I originally wasn’t interested, but like you, Bruce, seeing it in the metal has changed my mind. Stunning piece and it wears well on my 7.75” wrist. I’ll be making the purchase on Monday and your video has solidified my decision and thank you!

[@BruceWilliams]

Congrats Jim!

[@drlorenzana]

Just found this video and like you Jim, this watch wasn’t even on my radar. Was looking at PO 75th and AquaTerra (I wanted a blue dial) but once I saw the dial and color in person at my AD and it fit so nicely despite my wrist size, I ordered it. Picking up next week!

[@pongman40]

The dial is what caught my eye, that blue is mesmerizing! 🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍

[@alecleamus3280]

Have to say that this a a genuinely stunning watch. Love the dial, brighter steel, and clasp. I’ve been waiting for Omega to update the Planet Ocean, and if it were to have these new features, it would be an easy buy for me. Thanks for a superb review here, Bruce, your photographic skills are on another level, 👌

[@richardmangano5545]

Been wearing my blue/white Ultra Deep for a week and wanted to share some thoughts on the wearing experience. My wrist size is 7”-7.25” for reference. First, proper sizing is key. The clasp should be perfectly centered on the underside of the wrist. The bracelet includes one 1/2 link, which should make this possible for most wrists. That being said, I own a PO “creamsicle” which is exactly 2mm smaller in both diameter and thickness. I can honestly say the Ultra Deep wears more comfortably IMHO despite its larger dimensions and increased mass. I’m not sure why this is and I’m sure most will find it hard to believe, but that has been my experience. I love this watch so much, I’m probably going to do the unthinkable and buy a second one in a different color. I know, crazy. Anyone complaining about the price, I have owned and sold similarly priced divers from both Panerai and Grand Seiko, and this feels leagues beyond both in regards to build quality. Keep in mind that I own several GS watches and love the brand.

[@bigbrotherwatchesdannyboy306]

Thank you for the feedback! Did you ever get to compare your Ultra deep with a Rolex Deepsea?

[@theonlyredspecial]

The best Deepsea is the 12 model. The 11 was terribly unbalanced and the 13 is a move back. I just bought this omega but with the fancy seiko snowflake style finish on the dial and it wears better than either the 11 or 12 series. The bracelet is better on the omega as well as it’s significantly thicker and feels much better on the wrist. I love it. They are all heavy in steel so I’d just point that out. I think the model I’m wearing is 247 grams.

[@toddgates2408]

Ever tried with a rubber strap?

[@SA17579]

I tried the white dial and it is stunning. I was shocked at how well it sat on the wrist. The bracelet is superb.

[@barryvercueil2346]

Brilliant video. It looks amazing on your wrist. The watch looks incredible in person.

[@dannysimenauer5745]

I own both Omega and Rolex, and love both brands. If you compare apples to apples in each brand's models, they are both collectible. The only thing that Rolex accels at, and Omega doesn't do nearly as well, is appreciate in price like Rolex does.

[@bullitt411]

Nice review as always Bruce. With these specs you'd likely need 7.5" + for this to not look completely absurd on wrist. I thought my Seiko LX was bad with the height, barely getting any wrist time outside of summer months, this Omega takes that notion to another level. Beautiful piece admittedly.

[@bensmith4666]

I have a 7.25” wrist and this watch wears really good on me, it’s surprisingly wearable.

[@richardmangano5545]

One additional point. The watch shown on this video has a Liquid Metal diving scale. The orange bezel version has a lumed liquid ceramic diving scale. Both are amazingly durable and scratch resistant. The blue/white version has an enamel diving scale. Unsure of enamels long term durability as compared to the other two. I will call Omega’s service department to inquire about this and post their answer at a future date.

[@rossdonison4999]

Best review out there so far. Love this piece.

[@BruceWilliams]

Thank you!

[@lpg12338]

Very nice watch and another outstanding review. Job well done Omega!!! 👍

[@evansbot]

I had the same reaction. Thought it was ridiculous when I saw it online and loved it in person.

[@kevinr206]

Love the no date and the bright steel. Would like this in normal size. Most divers like me dive Nitrox 32% oxygen and never dive below 31.5 meters.

[@Tyler-sl6vg]

I like the thicker bezel and more prominent indices vs the Planet Ocean 8900. I think they will bring that over to the new PO. Big respect to anyone who grabs the Ultra Deep. Super nice piece. EDIT: this would also be the best addition to Bruce collection.

[@teecchnoboy]

I prefer the 600m I have the 43.5mm PO super good quality very well built and beautiful looking watch bought one second hand 2020 model calibre 8900 black with steel bracelet for 3.9k£ definitely worth the price

[@allydea]

It actually looks great on your wrist, Bruce!

[@michaelkepes6125]

Ultra Deep is an amazing piece yet is still larger and more expensive than most watches it is in a very small niche market Now the gorgeous Day Date on your hand that is a classic and my favorite solid gold watch Enjoy and ware it well 🎉

[@richardmangano5545]

Just bought the electric blue/white dial version on bracelet. It was actually a preowned watch sold through an AD that I do a lot of business with. Mint condition and I paid 9k all in. I couldn’t be happier. I own already the PO “Creamsicle” and this is an amazing addition to my Omega collection. I have 7-7.25 inch wrists and I removed 4 links. Wears comfortably on the bracelet and I do not find the weight to be a problem. A marvelous piece of engineering! Bravo Omega!

[@Chinaman7608-b3j]

I have the same..bought it in Bangkok few months ago. I already have 3 po chronos. They fit and feel the best!

[@duffydon1741]

Something about this dude and this channel, this channel is slept on, honestly!!

[@BruceWilliams]

Wow thank you!

[@Fuzzy-zk8ix]

Another great review Bruce. Really like the Ultra Deep but the Planet Ocean has plenty of depth rating for when I swim laps in the pool...:)

[@BruceWilliams]

Its kinda funny, most of the dive watches sold will never be taken diving. The few that do will never go below 30m.

[@robertschmidt9584]

Bruce. Great video! Love this omega!

[@Thiccolo]

Wow, didnt know about o-mega steel until you mentioned it. hope to see it on other models

[@BruceWilliams]

Same here. Its impressive

[@davidcrane7603]

Cool watch, but grade 5 titanium would be the better choice for the case and bracelet, considering the watch's size. Enjoyed the video, btw.

[@nedflanders3769]

Cool dial. Looks excellent on your wrist. You need this watch, Bruce!😅

[@GarrySkipPerkins]

It is a manly watch with the best dial I have seen in years

[@zman8340]

I actually like most everything about this watch from material to design. Quite a surprise. Love the new steel and the bracelet and clasp look fantastic maybe omegas best yet . Admittedly it’s a spectrum piece but very well done.

[@John..18]

Thank you so much Bruce, for showing us this one, I'd missed seeing this one,, it really doesn't look that big on your wrist,, it's probably the only watch I'd consider consider swapping my SMP 300M for, but, as usual, there's no way I could afford it, 😭,, thanks again for bringing it to my attention,, 👍

[@geralddorrington]

Hi Bruce, great video. However I was drawn to the new day date on your wrist! Wow, looks fantastic. Enjoy!

[@iiiNeURoTiC]

Just purchased the orange version. Pick it up Saturday 🎉

[@tarasmathers7423]

Yeahhhhh!!!! I knew you would pick the blue/white combo🤣. I've had my eye on that one myself, ever since it's release. You know what they say about great minds, Bruce. Please keep up the great work. Much appreciated. Cheers.....🥃

[@BruceWilliams]

Great minds indeed!!

[@NeoWahNah]

Thanks for adding all the dimensions to include the weight! I love how it looks but it is way too big and heavy for me. Props to those who are able to pull it off!

[@Dnooch74]

Just ordered the summer blue version from my AD. I’m sure it will take some time to come in. I have and love the James Cameron Deep Sea, 126660 so I figure I can pull off the Ultra Deep as well.

[@keltecdan]

Finally they ditched the helium escape valve. It looks smaller than the specs of this watch which is good.

[@Smithy67]

Thanks Bruce, nice watch. If the rest of the range had this bracelet and lost (let's admit it for 90% of us) the redundant helium crown, I think it would be an absolute winner.

[@12breacher82]

Nice review! This is one of the best watches Omega has developed. It is a bit absurd in size and weight but somehow it just feels balanced, refined, yet still like a piece of equipment. Very expensive equipment, like the difference between a mechanic apprentice Vs a 20 year seasoned pro technician. It feels very “masculine”. The perfect modern counter balance to my heritage line Seamaster 300s.

[@mickyday2008]

I tried this on yesterday. I’d never seen one in the flesh. Very nice indeed.

[@larsstougaard7097]

I'm excited for this new steel, big watch but cool 😎

[@MrNojoi]

Tried on the Titanium on the nato strap a few days ago. Not a fan. The steel is in another league though. I’m selling my 8500 PO-XL for this. It’s great.

[@treasurecoastgypsy]

As steel Ploprof owner, the specs on this watch are impressive. Your review is spot on, however, I cannot fathom, how only the orange version in this lineup of Steel models, has a fully lumed bezel. At this price point, and for this tremendous depth rating, ALL versions, should have a FULLY lumed bezel, as a standard feature..Omega, what were you thinking ?

[@BruceWilliams]

Its true they made a significant omission that will keep some consumers away!

[@salvelegio1425]

A beautiful beast and I would like to have one!!!

[@Dugger1991]

The lug to lug makes it somewhat wearable. Omega rules!!!Exquisite timepiece are a great retailers.

[@ripperx444]

Nice watches. I tried these on and loved them. Basically a deep sea competitor.

[@steves8322]

Hope the next planet ocean is just a slimmed down version of this…love everything except the tremendous size

[@alexmaresh6005]

i just picked up my ultra deep summer blue edition, i love it!

[@trinity3422]

I’d love to Omega make a watch just like this 40-41mm diameter and 12-13mm thick

[@SQ8warrior]

Bracelet and clasp need to permeate the full planet ocean catalog

[@bobotmeister]

i have the titanium one. it is really well made 😘 The best thing is you can actually get one without jumping through hoops. I feel this watch under the radar at the moment. I have the d-blue deepsea as my other deep diver. My other watches just top out at 100 bar. 😅

[@jollyrob]

Great review this, really interesting instead of the usual lazy 'too big' dismissive ones. I like your point re 'refinement' - of course a tool watch can and should be refined at this price point. It looks really good on your wrist too. I'd love to try the white dial. I'm 6'4", 250lbs, 8" wrist - maybe I could pull it off?

[@BruceWilliams]

Thank you. I think you could absolutely pull this off!

[@projecttrent1884]

This looks amazing! I wish they had a smaller diameter version of it.

[@christopher2818]

This is so much better than any other diver from Omega, and is what the rest of their diver’s lineup should be modeled after. Lose the ridiculous and ugly helium escape valve at 10. What’s the point of a manually operated dedicated escape valve? Simply use the crown.

[@JeffreyMcMahon]

Thanks for the excellent review. If I were younger and working in business, I would put this on my wish list though I suspect I'd get the smaller 43.5 Planet Ocean.

[@davidr2802]

You would make 30 videos about how conflicted you were in considering this watch and then just stick with the Seiko

[@smittysmitty481]

Very cool timepiece!

[@scottwexlin6456]

I like the PO. If I didn't already own the SMP300, and were looking for an Omega diver, I'd go right for the PO.

[@DavidDuVivier]

I've really loved my 20+ year old Breitling Superocean, but issues with a leaky replacement crown have led to damage to the dial and a noticeable loss of accuracy. It's on its last legs. The new Breitlings are, well, as you say, "hokey", and after extensive research the Omega Ultra Deep looks like a worthy Superocean replacement. But I HATE tapered steel bracelets. What about the black diver's band? It's obviously much lighter than the Omega Steel bracelet, but does that create a sensation of disbalance on the wrist?

[@robertschmidt9584]

Bruce would flip this watch! Bruce, you’ve done a great video!

[@krasnaludek298]

Beautiful design 👍🏻

[@simonbarr9489]

Thats pretty badass!

[@hh3rjf]

Bruce, would you consider reviewing the Planet Ocean Chrono? I'd be so curious to hear your take on that beast.

[@michael751017]

Your suggestion for collection purposes, compared to Seamaster Titanium 007,no time to die. Which one deserves to be owned?

[@dompellegrino2755]

Bruce, I use you a a size guide as our wrists are both 7.25”. I would have thought that the Ultra Deep would be way too big, but it looks good on your wrist. Did it feel right wearing it? I’m considering one of my AD can ever get one in fir me to try. I had the original Rolex Deep Sea years ago and that was a big mistake.

[@pinkbono]

That's a nice brick you have on your wrist, Bruce.

[@panfrick]

Nice, so do you think this new alloy can withstand sink water when I wash my hands?

[@markymark3572]

Its wearable, unlike the ludicrous Rolex Deep Sea Challenge, which will only wear well if you have a wrist the size of King Kong

[@JAY-JAY74]

Is the Omega Planet Ocean now obsolete. If they add the date adjustment to go forward and backward for date changes, so they need to make another Planet Ocean?

[@imranbecks]

This is something I need to try on one of these days.

[@alejandrocerezo8399]

It's extreme, yes, but if feels less ridiculous than the Rolex one. Also, I agree in that I'd love to see the omegasteel in other models.

[@danielloader3351]

Yeah the rolex deapsea challenge looks like it's just a big fat seadweller that you would only own for the sake of owning it. But Omega has actually made a good looking, unique and wearable watch out of their ultradeep.

[@AGC828]

Terrific review/content. I wonder wht percentage of owners actually "saturatio dive" at all let alone down to near 1000m :)) 5 percent?? :))

[@javiercandia3823]

I own a planet ocean 600 and it's dope! ...no one needs a watch like the ultra deep.

[@davidr2802]

Bruce has done plenty of PO 600 reviews so he has that context in making this review

[@pumaadidas]

the bracelet is beautiful

[@frankmai1824]

Omega needs to use this design for their less intense diver and slim down their model lines.

[@sanghoonlee5171]

The quality immediately jumps out from the images. And I love that every design detail--the indices, the hands, the clasp--have been tweaked to make them simpler and more elegant. If this was a regular Planet Ocean with thickness under 15mm, I would have been sorely tempted. But as it is now, it is reserved for guys with substantial forearms and in sleeveless attires.

[@bartvanriel6767]

Please make a 600m like this. This steel, no screw down helium escape valve and nice and slim

[@off-roadingcars]

Great video! I hope you buy one and do more videos on it. Can you review the latest Grand Seiko Evolution 9 diver too? I like the style of your reviews.

[@BruceWilliams]

I'll ask if I can get one in! I would love to, they look amazing

[@craiglinke8206]

It’s a good looking watch. Omega knows how to design a premium dive watch and to produce one with a 6000m rating I doubt anyone could do a nicer job. But honestly, Bruce, how often would you wear a watch this big. I’d keep looking

[@BruceWilliams]

My opinion- when you buy a 12k watch, you wear it whenever and wherever you please. You make the rules lol

[@BobLorrimer]

Omega might do well with the innovative bracelet 'steel'.

[@holothuria9568]

I may be wrong, but I believe that this watch, like the Rolex Submariner, has a domed crystal, which therefore makes it vulnerable to scratching. All the better-designed dive watches, like my Sinn UX, have a flat crown to avoid this problem.

[@tacfoley4443]

From many angles it's hard to tell I'm nit looking at a Rolex DSSD like the one on my wrist as I write this. It's also a very ambitious price, to say the least. Sure, it's beautifully done, but I've yet to be convinced that it's something I either want or need.

[@pumaadidas]

is this new omega steel more scratch resistant than 904l steel??

[@eyunseville1310]

[@Gocho18]

This needs to be the Seamaster 300M's bracelet..

[@gdonathan]

You mention saturation diving as being extremely deep a few times. Sat diving is not inherently deeper than other types of diving...just longer.

[@roamy3605]

You are not the only one that would buy a totally impractical ultra deep dive watch. I'm another one of "those guys". But aren't most 200-300 meter dive watches impractical? This Omega UD has been gnawing at me for awhile now. There is just something cool about having the baddest ass diver watch in the world on your wrist (the new Rolex doesn't count unless I'm going to a clown convention).

[@Iuckylukey]

Its fun to wear but the dial is so deep into the case that you need to turn your wrist to see the time, harder to tell time at a glance.

[@truthdragon7719]

Really like it, especially the no 2nd nipple which spoils Omega divers for me. The design of the seconds hand could be better, just snip that blue tip bit off. Id rather the case back was traditionally engraved as well. Oh hang on, i like it a bit less :) Good review !!!

We need the regular planet ocean with no helium escape valve and I’d come back. I sold my planet ocean because I couldn’t get past the valve. Without that I think it’s perfect.
