There are those who call it Omega Seamaster Ultra Deep, those who prefer to add the Planet Ocean extension, and those high quality replica watches uk who, like myself, prefer the more essential Omega Ultra Deep, since there is little of Seamaster and Planet Ocean net of genealogical tree.
Ultra Deep is the perfect short claim to condense a rate of technical innovation that allows Omega to climb all positions on the grid. The project seems to be the result of a laboratory rather than a standard development process and overturns the perception of a generally valid collection, but behind the historical and technically strong market players, such as Seiko and Grand Seiko, or very coveted such as some high-end professional Rolexes.
With Ultra Deep, Omega also demonstrates that it listens carefully to comments and suggestions. If adherence to the ISO 6425 standard is welcome but does not know of disruptive novelty, the overall project, which includes a super hermetic case and a real rating of over 6000 nominal meters deep (as required by the legislation in the test phase) assigns to the collection the role of "best in class". In summary, Omega beat Japanese hyper-technical competition and Swiss premium competition in one fell swoop.
The technical characteristics, in a nutshell.
The 45.5mm diameter and 18mm thick case is in line with the stated competitor, the Rolex Deepsea, but Ultra Deep is rolex replica superior in performance and design refinement. The case is waterproof to helium and features a newly formulated steel.
Tables in hand, at a depth of 6000 meters the pressure is 600 bar or 60 MN / m2. Whatever steel is used,
a standard specimen is still in the elastic phase: 316L and 904L yield around 220 MPa on average,
while O-Megasteel doubles them at a value of 560 MPa. Even more interesting is the PREN index, certainly more tangible in common use in which O-Megasteel is, as stated by Omega, far superior to the 316L adopted for example on a classic Planet Ocean. In this context, it is confronted with Ever Brilliant Steel by Seiko,
and 904L adopted by Rolex, the only steel regulated at ISO level.
The hero of the collection is the commercial re-edition of the titanium watch with manta-shaped lugs worn by Victor Vescovo at the bottom of the Mariana Trench. The titanium construction ensures the necessary lightness for this maximum weight. Under normal conditions, the steel version exceeds 200 g and becomes an object for the few, whereas Ultra Deep in grade 5 titanium allows almost any wrist to wear one, size permitting. However, the shine of the new steel is a powerful argument for buying, and the options with a rubber strap are an invitation to choose the classic steel.
Ultra Deep Considerations
Chapeau to the brand for a number of reasons: first of all for the courage to have invested in a niche product; O – Megasteel and the patents on the case, glass and gaskets are specific to this collection.
My hero is Ultra Deep in Orange steel because it is the ultimate luxury tool watch and is 100% Omega; On the other hand, the choice of the smoky blue dial is questionable because it exposes itself to easy similarities and is an argument in favor of detractors who stop at the outward appearance. The specifications are all on Omega's side and the price in the 12,000 Euro area is amply justified.
Omega Seamaster Diver 300M green dial
In this case we are talking about pure range extension. The Seamaster Diver 300M debuts in green edition, further expanding the already vast range revisited in 2018. The green ceramic bezel has a unique solution for this product category;
the graduated scale is made of enamel with the Grand Feu technique,
an art usually reserved for classic watches. I would be curious to see live the difference between the standard and the current version.
For the rest there are no noteworthy changes compared to the Diver 300M which measures 42 mm in case width and 13.56 mm in thickness. It is the most elegant professional diver on the market,
easily identifiable thanks to the typically Seamaster bracelet, the replica watches uk curved lugs, the ceramic wave dial. The only regret is that it is no longer as accessible as it used to be. At 5,800 euros in the steel variant it still remains among the top-priced Omega watches.
Omega Speedmaster ’57 caliber 9906
If it hadn't been Ultra Deep to steal the show, the new collection would represent the biggest novelty among Omega 2022 watches also considering the potential sales volumes. If the first is the most muscular and largest watch in the catalog today, the dictionary provides in this case completely different adjectives.
With every wish to review a steel re-edition of the legendary CK 2915 with three-counter architecture and 321 caliber (Canopus Gold excluded), Omega has worked considerably on the outgoing two-counter template by reinterpreting the formula deeply.
Game changer: the Omega 9906 movement
The new Speedmaster 57s earn the splendid Omega caliber 9906,
introduced in a no date edition on the Chronoscope and with manual winding. It differs from its brother for the presence of the additional disc of the day but stands out in general for the beauty of the unique bridge entirely decorated with truly valuable Côtes de Arabesque.
The 9906 is, aesthetically, the mix of a vague Saxon caliber (3/4 bridge) and exquisitely Swiss decorations. It is very beautiful,
it fills the case from edge to edge and the thickness of just 6.4 mm makes it an extremely thin chrono movement. The new Omega Speedmaster 57 stops just below the 13 mm thick threshold (precisely 12.99) gaining a not inconsiderable 4% compared to a Moonwatch 3861.
The watchword is refinement
The case has been reduced to 40 millimeters,
the dial preserves the architecture with two registers for immediate reading because the chrono hour and minute counter is grouped in a single register at three o'clock which,
provided that the chronograph is always running ( option that I would define expensive in terms of energy),
allows the measurement of the time in a second time zone. I would have generally expected a higher autonomy at full charge.
Considerations
Without the date window it would have been perfect, but the totally renewed concept, the proportions,
the caliber make it a very valid alternative to the classic Moonwatch and to the historical references that mount the 321. The reduction from 41.5 to 40.5 mm and the Apollo 11 inspired bracelet create an alternative in many respects more sophisticated.
https://www.replicawatches.cc/ Roman'; font-size: 12.0000pt; mso-font-kerning: 0.0000pt;">The superior refinement of the newly developed caliber (and column-wheel) motivates the € 10,000 threshold price and the new colored dials give the opportunity to dare, although none can beat the sandwich dial with vintage Super – Luminova®.
Conversely, I find the step back on water resistance incomprehensible:
the outgoing range reaches 100 meters, the new collection stops at 50m.
Rather than highlighting the Moonwatch's two new gold options,
the community wasted time dividing itself into factions made up of Omega supporters and Rolex supporters without grasping the sense of novelty and the real absence of overlap. That Omega is a direct competitor of the brand with the crown is not a mystery,
a marketing expert is not needed to understand it,
and it is understandable that the comparison is animated by https://www.replicawatches.cc/ a palpable "sense of challenge". Yet a Daytona and a Moonwatch are so different in history and technical characteristics that it shows how much the people of social media stop at appearances.
The two new proposals finally replicate the Moonshine Gold alloy beyond the successful experiment of the Apollo 11 version,
as beautiful as it is not sober in certain details,
where the two new combinations bring everything into an area of greater discretion.
Compared to the Sedna Gold versions, the green ceramic ring replaces the aluminum ring. The green tone on the PVD-treated bezel and dial softens the excesses of yellow gold in the first case,
while on the second model the dial is in Moonshine Gold like the case
