What do you guys think of the new ULTRA DEEP Titanium Omega?
I kinda like it. It reminds me a little bit of the Deepsea by Rolex and the FXD by Tudor (fixed lugs on Omega as well).

Cool piece definitely
This one is to be tested in person: 45mm and 18mm height is not for everyone...
Oh my…
Any idea what’s the weight of the SS version with full bracelet? Am not sure if I can lift my wrist to tell time! Jokes aside, it’s an engineering marvel to behold
I like the look of it...
...but it seems far too thick for comfort (and I own and love the Deepsea!).
Correcto mundo.
I was on the list for the first generation, but refused to buy. Too chunky (my feeling back then). Then, the 2nd generation came out and it was better balanced and i was really hooked. Especially on the color👍
It is for " saturation diving", see back side😉
I guess for that, thickness doesnt really matter.
I see that it is 18.12mm thick but presumably that doesn't include the thickness of the Nato strap which must add another mm or two.
You're right that if this watch were actually used for diving the thickness would not matter too much, but for professional desk divers like me it is a consideration and the 18mm of a Deepsea is as much thickness as I would want!! These Omega watches look...
Bravo Omega!!!
I own three PO’s including the Chrono which has the same dimensions at 18mm thick. For what it is and because I usually wear it on a JetSki or a boat I do not find it cumbersome in terms of what you get in return. I am obviously not going to wear it with ...
Jury is still out on that one. While I really like Omega
dive watches I'm undecided on this particular one.
Supremely impressive.
With that said, unless you happen to be a pro diver, I don't see many people buying and wearing this . Cheers, Filip
but I probably prefer the versatility of the steel one, with its cool fumé dial, similar to the abyss...
to be worn on a good black rubber diving strap ...
Liked this titanium version
Definitely to be tested on the wrist for the thickness but the dial is very good. Since I own a SD I a may prefer this one to the Rolex Deepsea.
I don't need it but I want it
Maybe less intimidating to wear than the Ploprof? Same extreme vibe.
Awesome watch
I think I will buy this one to go with my POC and Hublot Oceanographics. Thank goodness they didn't make it less than 45.5mm. I just wish it was the 55 mm monster and when I talked to Omega about it they didn't seem too receptive with that one
I'm down with vintage . . .
. . . 1 000M Seamasters . . . . . . but you'd have to be a football player to wear the latest release. Art ...
You're right a bigger than average wrist is required
How about a 6 foot tall ice hockey player?
I'll have to check height with my pal whose brother-in-law owns the SM 1000 . . .
. . . that I posted. As for feeling like JC with a Grand on your wrist . . . . . . it's a shame we can't ask him directly. ...
Apparently the owner of the Grand is currently out of the country but . . .
. . . according to an eBay listing the height is specified as 14 mm. I have my doubts that's accurate, but will keep checking other sources. Art
Yes, I would assume closer to 16mm
thanks for checking! This is not an everyday reference
Very nice
I like it so much, i actually called my AD today. I think I will have to eat bread and drink tap water for a few months to save up for this. I’ll take the titanium piece=D
Fabulous piece of engineering
This will put the Omega Ultra Deep directly in competition with the Rolex Deep Sea Dweller, and with substantially greater dive depth capability Omega is upping the stakes now with the steel as well as titanium versions and at a great price point that rep...
An interesting factoid
The Ultra Deep does not use a helium release valve. The case is specially constructed to ensure that gases cannot enter!! Cheers
One question though..
Why is the Ploprof 1200m titanium case considered more complex than the Ultra Deep titanium case? If any, the Ultra Deep case does away with the need for Helium valve and does not allow gases to enter; and therefore should be more complex than Ploprof? Wo...
Any info on my question?
Requesting experts to chime in on the ploprof case vs ultradeep and why Ploprof case is stated to be more complex to produce? Thnx
