Now it is offering a dive record breaker at a retail price thousands of dollars less than the secondary market value of its nearest competitor, the Rolex Sea-Dweller Deepsea 126660. Its real world tested depth rating is two whole kilometers deeper than the Deepsea’s 3900m, while only being 1.5mm larger in diameter and a near-as-makes-no-difference 0.4mm thicker. You can have it in different case materials and on a variety of different straps. If you took issue with the HEV protruding at 10 o’clock before, well, it’s no longer there.
And while the deepest diving you might do on a day-to-day is into your work desk, it is nice to know that there is a company willing to push the boundaries to create a product whose true engineering capability will rarely be challenged. It does so simply because the goal is there to be chased. It is comfortable at the deepest depths This is truly a go-anywhere, do-anything watch to the nth degree.
If you were to walk into any Omega boutique, it is not often that you will have to put your name down on a waitlist for most of their watches. Not even for an extreme watch like the Ultra Deep. In short, Omega represents industry-leading innovation that you can buy at retail. That is a value proposition that honestly, can’t be beat.
