The concept watch Ultra Deep, which broke the record by diving 10,928 meter down in 2019, has now dropped off 7 new versions that also can be worn.
We are in a colossal era for sub-ocean exploration, like in space exploration. Actually, 95 percent of life under the oceans, which covers more than 70 percent of the world, is still not discovered, and even after with research in the upcoming years, it seems that the history will be rewritten.
One of the Omega watches introduced today (a vivacious collection of colors, natural stones and women’s watches that are not accustomed to in Omega; we will talk about it in detail) will take its place in this re-writing, just like the first watch to land on the Moon. And this new watch is Omega Ultra Deep.
As its name suggests, the Ultra Deep is a watch that aims to go to “ultra-depths”. Indeed, we had originally met with this concept watch in 2019. The investor and idealist undersea explorer, retired soldier Victor Vescovo had three of these watches on his famous submarine while he was diving to the deepest point of the world.
This new version comes with one titanium and three steel versions (with 6 strap variations). The most crucial innovation is, of course, that we all can wear this new watch on our wrist, because the 2019 version, which is waterproof up to 15,000 meters, was for ocean exploration and was really difficult to be worn due to 28.5 mm thickness.
Victor Vescovo is one of a kind. History wrote him as the person who both climbed Mount Everest, the highest point in the world, and dived to the deepest point of the world (10,928 meters below); so, he went into the record book. Vescovo says that he started off by reading Jules Verne as a child.
