With the new Seamaster Planet Ocean Deep Black collection, OMEGA has proven that it isn't resting on its laurels, and continues with its 168 year history of pushing the boundaries of technical innovation and robustness in its products, as well as making aesthetic refinements that make its timepieces stand out from its competitors.Īnd oh, we'll take one of those Sedna Gold Seamasters, please.It was only a matter of time, right? After private equity investor-turned-ocean-explorer Victor Vescovo’s record-setting 2019 dive to Challenger Deep in the Mariana Trench, the prototype Omega Seamaster Ultra Deep Professional strapped to the robotic arm of his submersible is finally being made available in a slightly pared-back civilian variant. OMEGA at the Forefront of Technology and Craftsmanship The foldover clasp is made from ceramised titanium, while the clasp cover has been produced in ceramic with two types of finishing. On the SednaTM gold model, the strap is water resistant leather, with the same anti-bacterial rubber underside. A wave pattern can be found on the underside. They feature contrasting stitching and have also been treated with an antibacterial coating. The black rubber straps have been designed to give the appearance of being fabric. The Finishing Touch - the Strap & Foldover Clasp They are coated in white Super-LumiNova that emits green and blue colours. The hands and indexes of the watches are created from 18K Sedna TM gold or 18K white gold. On the blue and red models, these two features are coloured using a rubber injection. The blue and red versions are brushed for a matt effect that offers better visibility underwater.įor the Black model, Liquidmetal® is also used to create the He symbol on the Helium valve and OMEGA symbol on the crown. On the Black and 18K Sedna TM gold models, the ceramic cases and dials have been polished for a glossy effect. This higher standard of precision and performance from OMEGA also comes with a four year warranty. ensures that each watch far exceeds the standards that have long been our industry’s norms." Stephen Urquhart, former President of OMEGA The new certification process approved by METAS. To earn the name Master Chronometer, the finished watch, whose movement is a COSC chronometer, has to pass 8 tests approved by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS) that replicate real-life wearing conditions and demonstrate resistance to water and magnetic fields of up to 15,000 gauss. A new GMT ring has been fixed on the dial while the diving scale sits on the ceramic bezel using Liquidmetal® or OMEGA Ceragold TM.įor the first time, rubber has been blended with ceramic to create a unique bezel, seen on the blue on the red models, where the first fifteen minute zone is coloured with this innovation.Īnd thus the true technical challenge was to then produce a diving watch made entirely from ceramic while ensuring that it could withstand the pressures of the ocean at a depth of 600 meters.ĭeep Black is driven by the OMEGA Master Chronometer calibre 8906. The same material is also used for the unidirectional bezels as well as the dials that feature new Arabic numerals. Lastly, the 18K Sedna TM Gold model is a clearly non-tactical, and is suited for those who prefer a luxurious time on the deck!įrom the Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon that was first released in 2013, OMEGA has evolved its ceramic expertise to craft the case body for each "Deep Black" model from a single block of ceramic. Finally, at a depth of 300 m, the ocean will turn black. Go deeper to 275 m and the last colour you'll see, based on light penetration, is the exact shade of blue found on the blue Deep Black model.
That means that this "military" divers' watch will gain a camouflage advantage by gradually matching your wetsuit. At 5 m, the first colour that is no longer visible is red. Why the four colours of red, blue, deep black and 18K Sedna TM Gold? Imagine you are descending below the waves of the ocean. What we loved most - and believe will be a hit amongst both OMEGA fans and new converts - is the new Seamaster Planet Ocean Deep Black collection with four new models at 45.5mm.Įach combines a GMT model with a diving watch. OMEGA celebrates its 168th anniversary this year, and the watch manufacture has unveiled one of its strongest and most compelling line-ups of timepieces.
