28mm thick. Some of the comments online said it's not for sale?
Ah, I was wondering if it’s for sale..

Seems a bit pointless. In what sense is it a watch if it's so thick as to be unwearable. It's basically a water tight container with a watch movement inside that sort of resembles a watch. Not surprised its not for sale though doubtless there will be some special edition planet ocean 'celebrating' this achievement.
Or maybe I'm just a grump

I am looking forward to Hodinkee review that will say that this monstrosity is quite wearable despite 28mm thickness.

Nice bit of engineering, would love to go to work and the boss says "right, were going to make a watch that can withstand to go 10,928m deep". It might not be for sale and have a 28mm thickness but I'd still love one.
More pictures and video...

A great manoeuvre by Omega.
In the video at some point he looks down at his watch and talks about "time", but we cannot see the watch... I wonder what watch it might be. Probably an Omooga.

“While obviously chunky for daily wear, this actually isn't crazy when it comes to watches like this (of which there are obviously very few”.
Will slip under shirt cuff and can be dressed up or down!

My thoughts exactly:-)
How does this compare to the thickness of the Rolex Deep Sea Special that was tested on the Trieste?
ER a new world record? How?
James Cameron went deeper back in 2012
The Rolex strapped to the outside of the Trieste was more or less normal thickness, it was the crystal that was mega domed
Ok, now I need to talk to my tailor about a special shirt with one sleeve suited to Popeye.
George Clooney's an Omega ambassador and will wear this but only if it's free. Omega are saying as it's such a unique piece he has to pay. Bit of a Catch 22 situation.
Despite the negativity, I like it. Certainly a lot prettier than a Proplof.
I think Breitling beat them to it with their version of the Manta lugs on the carbon Colt.
Good PR exercise. Quite like it actually.
i take it the name Ultra Deep refers to one's pockets when purchasing?
