'Omega Was Here!' - Summer Blue Ultra Deep - Goodbye Deepsea

[@damachine3]

I just bought this piece a few days ago, and there are a few things to add: 1) They use a special machine that makes the sapphire crystal surface super smooth, non-porous, at magnification. It's way more smooth than Rolex. 2) The special steel that they have created (O-MEGASTEEL) scores lower on some yield measurement test for flex under pressure. It doesn't warp under extreme pressure as much as other steel, like Rolex's 904L steel. Also, this special steel has a unique sheen to it. 3) The caseback has a slight conical shape to it, such that under extreme pressure it seals better than it would if it were perfectly round. 4) There is no helium escape valve, because the seal is so good that helium atoms don't enter in the first place. So, whereas Rolex could make fun of the "wart" of a helium escape valve found on some other Omega watches, and the fact that they require manual operation, Omega can say, "Whatever, Rolex, this dive watch doesn't even require a helium escape valve at all." Edit to add a couple of more interesting tidbits: 5) This watch is rated to go 7,200 feet deeper than the Deepsea (20,000ft vs. 12,800 ft) 6) They did a more detailed mapping of the Mariana Trench, such that they found a spot that is 7 meters deeper than previously found, so Omega took the watch upon which this one is based to that depth, so they could say that they have been deeper than Rolex. So now Omega is not only the highest (original) watch with the Moonwatch, they are the deepest as well. 7) I own a lot of Omega and Rolex, so I have to give Rolex at least one nod, they still have the deepest watch in production (the Deepsea Challenge). It's rated to go to the Mariana Trench.

Excellent comment!

[@wristopia4101]

Being realistic I would give the deepest dive watch to this over the DSC, and only compare this to the Deepsea. I prefer Rolex but the DSC is too OTT and not realistically available. Not sure Rolex ever made fun of the wart, but a real world problem with it is having to check it's actually shut. Having something you do not ever use is much better being automatic IMO. Omega fanboys love the aesthetic so as I am happy either way on the PO series and they can argue it out amongst themselves haha.

[@alexmaresh6005]

I just picked up my ultra deep summer blue today and love it!

[@G1CHO]

Being a man's man, and being a crafter, and being switched on enough to know a good watch when i see one...... I'm going to get this watch!

[@threethrushes]

My Sinn UX is only rated for 5,000m WR, so I'm looking for something with a bit more depth. This Omega looks like it can handle some splashes from hand-washing.

[@danielmewes]

Agree. The Sinn UX is fine for hand washing and maybe a shower when there's no movement (static pressure), but with dynamic pressure I'd say at most it's good for a light rain shower. 😅

[@PhilbyFavourites]

@@danielmewesomg, so given I’m in southern England in the middle of Storm Bert (I kid you not, it’s a “named” storm) I shouldn’t even go outside with one of these on? Phew, lucky I’ve got my white dial Seamaster Professional Diver 300 - that’s genuinely rainproof 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😎

[@pedromanuellopez142]

The Sinn U Series cases are actually meant/designed/conceived/built to withstand 12000 meters. Sinn doesn't make the claim, because they haven't tested it, but I am willing to take their word for it

[@johnfjellstad]

Omega needs to introduce this look into the Planet Ocean line

[@romanmuradyan220]

Excellent watch Excellent brand- 🌊 6000 m ‼️

[@Bpf1893]

If they sell the watch that went to the deepest part of the ocean, they should market it as “Unlimited depth” rated on the dial

[@wristopia4101]

Another great video in your warm and friendly style. Hefty watch lover (7.5" wrist) here too and this is not a daily lol! Personally I prefer the original James Cameron Deepsea homage Ultra Deep as it has more colours and is cheaper. It will also be more discountable, but 10-15% off of this one should be possible in the UK (as it was on the original when it finally hit the shops).. I think the original has more precious metal involved too but I could be wrong. The movement is nowhere near as smooth as the Deepsea but it's a stunning watch and the two are actually difficult to compare IMO. Love that it's no date. It's a shame that the bracelet is only 22mm and tapers to a very narrow and long clasp. It also does not have the profile curve that the 600m PO does (that I love!!), but I prefer the male end link and its interesting without the HEV (I am actually on the fence with HEV's on PO's but dislike on SMP300's). Really not keen on the UV Graffiti. It looks childish and its odd mentioning 10,935m on a 6000m watch IMO. People have pondered using some of the aesthetics of this in a new PO 600m, but I worry that any new PO 600m will be spoiled, rather than improved.

[@matthewjaskot3470]

I just got my Ultra Deep from Exquisite .. dropped your name and got an unbelievable deal !!

[@BruceWilliams]

I love to hear it! Congrats!

[@Blessed1_10]

I’ve had this watch for a few months now and it still puts a smile on my face each time I pick it up to wear it. It looks even better in hand than the pics or videos would suggest. Wears smaller than other watches at this size. Case thickness is not a problem as the bracelet extension helps with getting a proper fit. From far away it looks stealth, so no worries about prying eyes but closer up, it looks amazing! (Not too flashy). Weight isn’t that bad if you’re used to bigger tool watches. If you’re a fan of or own a Rolex DSSD, a bigger Breitling, or seiko samurai/sumo , this is a no brainer. Buy it if you can get your hand on one!

[@seals71]

It's beautiful ❤

[@brafya]

didnt rolex deepsea challenger make it to 12000 meter? i feel like you'd get this for its insane accomplish but playing second violin is never fun, please correct me tho i could be wrong

[@Harry-tb8yo]

There is no place in the ocean that's 12000 meters deep.

[@MrZanzibar123]

Bruce, your videos have leaped to a whole 'nother level with 4k; you are absolutely killing it now.

[@BruceWilliams]

I appreciate it. Everything from this point forward should be 4k. Improved audio is the next goal

[@MrZanzibar123]

@ nice!!

[@SA17579]

I've tried this on. It's a great watch. I was surprised how well it sat on the wrist. I've got a Breitling avenger seawolf so 18mm is fine with me. 😊

[@BruceWilliams]

Totally wearable

[@JohnnyBeans-w9k]

My Pelagos has a great bracelet

[@melissasmess2773]

My vision is good but I'm old and need lots of light to read a watch in the dark, looks great overall but wouldn't be a buy.

[@SaltyWatchCollector]

I love how subtle the extra text is. Definitely a hit

[@jeremydahm2124]

This is a banger! Sometimes a big, over engineered, crazy indulgence diver is just what the day calls for. If you're worried about it being too big or too big for you, i think you're missing the point. I'd be there all day debating colorway.

[@meoramri]

I love it too. I got the white dial with blue bezel

[@duanekemp4234]

I'm trying to decide between the white dial and the summer blue. Leaning towards the white dial because it popped more on my wrist. Were you able to get it below retail $12,700?

[@JohnnyBeans-w9k]

No Tfit

[@scottwexlin6456]

If I didn't own the Blue SMP 300, this Summer Blue UD would be on my wrist!

[@viperviperpiro]

looks chunky and heavy!

[@vijaymehra1101]

It is, designed to be that way 10,000 meters wr

[@shugertits]

Shoot, $300? I'll take 5.

[@ichibansantos10]

The hidden text is amazing! I wish the sizing was a bit smaller but I understand that it needs to be chunky to go to that depth

[@JDP-88]

I hope the look of the ultra deep is what the PO refresh looks like

[@wristopia4101]

Hey Bruce. What would you consider the Deep Dive Watch Holy Trinity? I'm going with Deepsea, Ultra Deep, and Oris Aquis Pro 4000m.

[@BruceWilliams]

Hard to argue against that. I'm probably swapping the pro for a yellow seawolf for style preferences

[@wristopia4101]

@@BruceWilliams Oh yes you love your Breitling's I used to work at an AD so handled a lot of Breitling's. The largest new Super Ocean in blue on rubber (annoyingly not fitted to case fully) is a lovely piece, but they are not for me.

[@jackdaw3173]

i also have the wrists Bruce!..this is definetly one in the win column for the big wrist guys...what a mofo of a watch!

[@BruceWilliams]

Well said

[@wagsbass]

This would be my one and done watch

[@wristopia4101]

It's a tough daily unless you are super buff 😈 I struggle with the 600m for a week haha.

[@vijaymehra1101]

Ha I wish you good luck

[@brianjohnson3743]

The “Omega was here” thing is a dig at Rolex; the Ultra Deep beat the Deep Sea’s depth record by 30 meters. And Omega has tested the Ultra Deep to 15,000 meters, so it would likely beat the Deep Sea Challenge, which claims 11,000 meters on the dial.

[@BruceWilliams]

Totally!

[@WatchesCanBeFun]

Way TOO thick!!

[@whysoserious-d9v]

tooooooooo heavy and bulky and thickness

[@vijaymehra1101]

Obviously, but some people buy for fun

[@drbobsnightmare2521]

I'm probably the only one, but I really miss the helium wart on this watch. I really wish they put the Reese's peanut butter cup on the 10 oclock. I really do.
