Thanks, Thomas, although I hope to never have actual need . . .
. . . of more than a few of those six thousand meters of water resistance. I can't remember the last time getting into an ocean; maybe on a future trip to my favorite vacation place of all, the Seychelles.

Dr. No's New Ultra Deep...
I am posting this on Art's behalf while he gets his computer photo posting issues sorted out. Hopefully soon, meanwhile he wishes everyone Happy New Year! ...
Epic :)
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to both you and Art. It's a brilliant dive watch, no doubt about it. Cheers, Filip
After picking up the Ultra Deep last night in LA, I had dinner with my pal Jim . . .
. . . in Huntington Beach. When I showed him the reason for my trip, he said, "About forty years ago I was looking at this massive Omega dive watch in a jewelry store. It had a black dial, and they were asking $3400 for it. That was about $3000 more than ...
Amazing piece
Looks so good. And a nice story too. Congratulations on the acquisition of one of the toughest dive watches out there.
The boutique called on Thursday to let me know it had arrived . . .
. . . but there was no point going before Christmas as parking spaces would've been hard to find. No problem finding a convenient spot next to the elevator yesterday!
I haven't been able to persuade you to get an rg chronometer . . .
. . . yet . This coming year, maybe?
Thanks, Abel! I'll share photos as soon as I work out the technical kinks . . .
. . . that are standing in the way. I can report it kept exceptional time while on my wrist for a week. No second thoughts here! The Ultra Deep is likely to be as close to an every day watch as I'll ever have. HNY, Art
The boutique received mine and a titanium version as well . . .
. . . so maybe they're getting to be more available than previously. Check with your local boutique! Art
Thanks much, Charlie! . . .
. . . and I hope to be back in business soon - hopefully before the weekend. HNY, Art
Thanks, Raymond! . . .
. . . you know better than most how I justified the acquisition to myself: "Hey, you've gotta have a waterproof watch when you move to the PNW." ⛈
Grazie, Yacomino! . . .
. . . I thought the 910 would be the largest to ever enter my collection, but as usual, I was wrong.
The answer is 'no' . . .
. . . unless I'm on a cruise ship that sinks over the Mariana Trench.
Wow, what a great looking watch. Huge congratulations, Art…
…and wear in the best of health, as we say🤗
All's good here, Christian . . .
. . . and hope you and yours are also enjoying this holiday season. Warmest, Art
My vintage collection is just a little bit jealous now . . .
. . . so I have to give the harem some affection this weekend after getting the measure of the new kid on my wrist. ;-)
Mine is #2 in our community after Cap's . . .
. . . and I hear rumblings of #3 on order. I don't know if UD will ever get to be the smash hit CK 859 is, but I'll bet we get into double digits. Art
I must've been a good boy this year . . .
. . . 'cause Santa dug really deep in his bag to pull this gift out!
We all knew this was coming!!!
Congratulations.! I consider the Ultra Deep to be the only truly wearable super deep diver. Just thin enough so one can wear it as an every day sport watch…even more wearable than the Ploprof. If I didn’t already own the P.O. chrono it would be on my wris...
I'll never get to use 6 meters of depth rating . . .
. . . much less 6000, but it's enjoyable finally being in the company of dive watch enthusiasts. I've always liked the genre, but couldn't find one nearly as close to ideal until UD came along. An original SM 1000 would've done the trick, but they're scar...
Happy new year
That is a massive 6000 meters deep Seamaster. I make no secret about it, the ultra deep is for me a must have as Omega seen by me as the grand in watch land. Before i can enjoy Dr No’s his ultra deep.
All thoughts of latching onto a Ploprof, vintage or otherwise, and even the original . . .
. . . SM 1000 have vanished. The UD is that compelling. Happy New Year, Weems! Art
Very strong looking diver: big congrats, dear Art! 👏👏👏
I have not seen it yet, but on this superb picture it looks serious and quite convicing. 👍
Try one on, Count. It took all of two minutes with the UD on my wrist in October . . .
. . . to loosen my grip on the credit card. 💳
You should've been at the boutique Monday night, Mach. A guy with a poodle on a leash walked in as I was waiting for the manager . . .
. . . to bring out the UD. An Omega rep went to greet the new customer. "Is there anything I can do for you, sir?" "Uhhh . . . yeah. I don't see any prices on these Omegas. What does [pointing to an AT] that one cost?" "The list price is $6100, sir." "$61...
Way to go Art!!
That is a baaaaaaaad boy!!! Totally love it. Enjoy in great health my Friend!
The first time I ever ran out a game of 8-ball . . .
. . . (shooting in all seven stripes or solids and then sinking the 8 ) was yesterday with the bad boy on my wrist. Confidence or coincidence? You tell me! 🎱
Couldn't have said it better myself. Omega came up with a dive watch . . .
. . . for all seasons*. Art * with apologies to Robert Bolt
Heavy duty stuff Dr No, big congrats!
Between the UD and the Ploprof, what were the deciding factors to go for the UD?
The Ploprof is tolerable on my wrist, but still . . .
. . . overtly large. Its presence is as unavoidable as it is unmistakeable. UD is more like the Flightmaster - it blends in on my slender wrist. No one has noticed it yet; I consider that a positive.
Thank you kindly, Fab. You should try one on if you get the chance . . .
. . . if only for the experience. Who knows? Maybe there's an Omega in your future!
Many congrats for this ultra massive Omega, Art!
It’s a fantastic offer from Omega I like the wrist presence. And I like the pure dial with the 3 - 6 - 9 - 12, especially that it is not disturbed by a date window. My best 6.000 wishes Thomas
Thanks, Thomas, although I hope to never have actual need . . .
. . . of more than a few of those six thousand meters of water resistance. I can't remember the last time getting into an ocean; maybe on a future trip to my favorite vacation place of all, the Seychelles. 🏝
Definitely more wearable on smaller wrists; the new Rolex diver . . .
. . . would be a non-starter personally. Even if I could get one at list, I wouldn't be able to wear it. Art
Congratulations on this sine qua non of the diving world.
True story: a friend had a YG Rolex diver on vacation in the Pacific and decided to test the water depth rating by attaching it to his deep sea fishing line. After it was submerged someone reminded him that fish are attracted to shiny objects. Hilarity en...
I could image this episode as a scene . . .
. . . from a Jerry Lewis / Dean Martin film.
Thanks much! . . .
. . . it's been on my wrist since Monday night, with no end in sight.
Yes, I've seen and tried on all three versions . . .
. . . on most of the strap and bracelet options. I bought the rubber strap and dedicated buckle as well, but it's going to remain on the bracelet for the time being. Art
NICE! I think I am drawn to the orange one for being so different and funky..
That’s the one I would get.
My cousin Vic also bought one, steel with black dial . . .
. . . and orange bezel on rubber strap. I've posted a photo of his UD before; unfortunately I'm unable to post photos at this time, but should regain access in a week or so. HNY to you as well, Spangles! Art
Art takes the plunge!
In a big way! Off the deep end so to speak! Congrats Art I thought you'd never come aroud. But when you did... wow! Looks like a gem of a watch. Enjoy in good health.
It took only - what? - seventeen years? . . .
. . . but you know what they say: 'patience is a virtue'. Thanks, Kev! Art
I can't think of a more enjoyable New Year's resolution . . .
. . . than trying on an Ultra Deep. Happy New Year, Craig! Best, Art
Thanks, Marc. We've gotta meet up soon . . .
. . . for a side-by-side photo op with your Aunt's titanium UD. HNY, Art
I finally saw one for the first time!
Very comfortable and wearable on my 6" wrist despite the fact that it looks too large. I was hoping to try the bracelet version but this was all they had. ...
Still waiting for the dedicated buckle to arrive . . .
. . . so that I can wear the short strap that's already been delivered. Totally down with the appearance of the strap . . . might have to switch around often to appreciate both options. Art
It's comfortable in the physical sense . . .
. . . and unexpectedly comfortable aesthetically. I don't tolerate large watches well, but the UD is a rare exception. My 910 Flightmaster is also an exception, and GO Navigators another. Currently wearing a '62 ref 14701 Seamaster . . . . . . that's 35 m...
I was able to try one on at my OB
They have the orange version available. Tried on for fun and was surprised how wearable it is! Sure it’s as thick as my college girl friend but still so wearable! Love the transition dial.
