I like the look of that. Will keep an eye out for the review
Achievement aside I really like the styling of that. Not sure I'd ever want to be seen wearing a 28mm thick watch though! Presumably these won't be available for general public to buy?
28mm thickness!

A new record!... by a whole 12 metres
Not that such would be tested in the slightest by any potential buyer/wearer
Good looking colours though
Rolex will have cancelled all weekend leave......
Just thinking the same thing. “Right lads, we a need a Deepsea II rated 20,000m”Originally Posted by paskinner
Well done Omega for really pushing the boundaries.
Probably planning on digging a little hole on the sea bed at the deepest point
I can’t wait to see it in the metal.
It looks great but that is one heck of a thick watch!

Probably best not to shower with it though.
They’ve got the thickness right with I hope 15mm thick sapphire . But titanium ? It needed to be bored from a single steel ingot with a lead inner casing so that only the mightiest wrist could wear it!
Breitlings and Deepseas are just for girls this is proper macho stuff . I’m going to grow a serous Special forces style moustache before wearing one of these !
Looks spectacular!

Finally! A no-date Planet Ocean.

Ooooo that’s a great looking Planet Ocean
I can’t see a He valve at 10. Interesting...
Does not need one.
As nice as the face is thats not a watch in my eyes, 28mm come on that would look ridiculous on the wrist, its basically a lump of metal with numbers on it made to be strapped on another piece of metal which goes under water...
Bring on the hate...
Love it! Dearer than the Ploprof do we reckon?
Its a great looking watch, love the blue! Just needs shrinking
A thing of beauty
Well it's obvious who this watch was designed as a blow against, and l dare say it's had precisely the desired effect.
rolex will be, as l type, seriously discussing the counter to this offering from Omega.
I say well done to them. Competition is always a driving force for excellence.
But, by god, the next rollie to challenge the UDP is going to be an absolute beast...
...wouldn't be surprised if there was one strapped to the next probe to Jupiter!!!
Silly stuff. Aside from the pointlessness of the WR, the design isn't functional. Stupidly thick, half-indexed bezel, poor contrast on the dial, no crown protection.
The point at which a WR record becomes interesting is when it is achieved in a useable watch IMHO.
Nice - and it's the only watch I've seen recently that looks good on a fabric strap/NATO.
Fair point but I think of projects like this as the Formula 1 series of watch development. Yes it's stupidly thick etc and would be unsuitable to use on a daily basis but Omega and other makers are pushing boundaries and the technology will eventually trickle down into hopefully slimmer, more wearable watches!

Has there been a price announced?

Adventure and techonological endeavour is never pointless and often creates spin-off benefits
Here’s a side shot
1000 baby names and meanings
Heres one I made earlier
Love the design and the idea and the execution.
Yes it’s bonkers and silly but it’s also adventurous and pushes the limit, which is always welcome.
I think it looks awesome and look forward to seeing the styling cues (especially those lugs!) make their way to more useable, day to day omegas.
I'm holding out for the 15001m limited edition.
Limited to just 15001 pieces for the princely sum of just £15001.

Formula 1 develops useful technology that makes cars safer, more efficient, lighter etc. Developing a watch that can go really deep develops useful technology like, erm, a thick watch that can go really deep, erm........?

But isn’t Omega is an expert in making thick watches,as seen on their cal 8500 PO
I tried a 21mm thick panerai in titanium amd on rubber dive strap and it’s already flopping around,I wonder how 28mm will fit on the wrist??
But when you think about it...while Rolex is too busy making watches to fulfill the orders while Omega have spare time to make this kind of watch/submarine/UFO ship hybrid....
And I thought my Muhle Rasmus was a lump
