Omega Drops New 6,000m-Rated Seamaster Planet Ocean Ultra Deep Collection

Omega has revealed a commercial version of its 2019 Ultra Deep capable of withstanding dives down to 6,000m (20,000 ft).

The Swiss brand first revealed three prototypes of the Ultra Deep three years ago after they had already successful completed a 10,935m (35,876 ft) dive to bottom of the Mariana Trench, the deepest point in the ocean.

The watches completed the 12-hour dive with two examples strapped to the hull the submersible Limiting Factor, piloted by adventurer Victor Vescovo and a third attached to a ‘lander’ support vessel.

The new 45.5mm Seamaster Planet Ocean Ultra Deep is water resistant to 6,000m and features the same forged grade 5 titanium case material, “Manta lug” design and a “conical load bearing” sapphire crystal. Omega tested the new design to a depth of 6,269m (20,567 ft) in the Mariana Trench in 2021.
