A true pioneer in the maritime field, the brand’s ocean story began with the “Omega Marine” in 1932 – the world’s first divers’ watch available to civilian divers.
The super water resistance of this timepiece distinguished by its ingenious double case became sought-after by ambitious explorers.
With the release of the very first Seamaster in 1948, Omega’s passion for the sea was reignited, leading to the launch of the Seamaster 300 in 1957. Many legendary dive watches have followed since then, including the distinctive Seamaster 600M “Ploprof” and the Seamaster 1000 for major explorations, as well as the popular Seamaster Diver 300M worn by Commander James Bond since 1995.
As a consolidation of the watchmaker’s ocean experience, the original Ultra Deep arrived in 2019. To survive the toughest conditions, the forward-thinking watch included indestructible features, such as a case completely machined out of forged grade 5 titanium, robust “Manta Lugs” that provided an innovative way of securing the watch, and a sapphire face with a conical loadbearing design inspired by a submersible’s viewport. The same year, three Ultra Deep watches joined explorer Victor Vescovo on a mission to the bottom of the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean. Originally recorded as 10,925 metres (35,843 ft), the depth was later updated to 10,935 metres (35,876 ft) and is the deepest any human or watch has ever dived.
Taking the next step in state-of-the-art ocean design, 2022 sees the release of seven new models, the Ultra Deep collection. Water-resistant to 6,000 m (20,000 ft), the 45.5mm range is led by a bold version crafted in sand-blasted and forged grade 5 titanium.
To achieve its unique personality, the watch features a brushed ceramic bezel with a Liquidmetal diving scale, along with the distinctive “Manta Lugs” and streamlined asymmetrical case that are reminiscent of the original Ultra Deep model. Six models in the collection have been built in brand new O-Megasteel. This high-performance stainless steel is notable for its superior strength, whiter colour and incomparable shine. It also offers exceptional resistance to corrosion for a longer-lasting appearance.
