For 2022, Omega showcases their latest in state-of-the-art oceanic watch design with the release of seven new models in the Seamaster Planet Ocean ULTRA DEEP collection.
Water-resistant to 6’000m (20’000 ft) which is ten times deeper than any other Planet Ocean, the 45.5mm range is headed up by a striking version crafted from sand-blasted and forged Grade 5 Titanium. 
Giving the watch a personality that closely resembles that of the OG Ultra Deep, the Titanium edition features a brushed ceramic bezel with a Liquidmetal™ dive-time scale, along with its distinctive ‘Manta Lugs’ and streamlined asymmetrical case that are reminiscent of the 2019 Ultra Deep model. 
Said Manta Lugs support a striped NATO strap, in cyan and black, made from polyamide yarn, sourced from 100% recycled fishing nets.
Fixed to the wrist with a loop and beautifully designed buckle in the same Grade 5 Titanium as the watch case.
Beneaththe ample, domed Sapphire crystal, the dial has been produced in black ceramized Titanium with cyan numerals and a blued gradient on the central seconds hand. 
Meanwhile the reverse of watch reveals a Grade 5 Titanium case-back featuring a black laser-etched Sonar emblem, with Omega’s iconic Seamaster Seahorse at its center. 
The markings ‘For Saturation Diving’ have also been included to meet with ISO 6425 standards for saturation divers’ watches which is certified by Switzerland’s independent testing body, METAS - a premiere in the watch industry. 
It is unclear whether the watch uses a covert Helium Escape Valve (which I can’t see anywhere) or like Seiko’s Marinemaster SAT diver has been hermetically sealed to such a degree that it mitigates any potential breaching of the case by tiny Helium molecules thus eliminating the need for such a valve. 
Powered by Omega’s Co-Axial Master Chronometer Caliber 8912, all models in this epic new deep diving family are Master Chronometer certified at Switzerland’s highest standard of precision, performance and magnetic-resistance. 
In addition to this, Omega’s Ultra Deep was ocean-tested to a depth of 6'269m (20'567ft) in the Mariana Trench in 2021. 
Thoughts? If you want to own the Ultra Dive that is as close as damn it to the (non-production) OG Ultra Dive from 2019 then is surely it.
Produced in Grade 5 Titanium and with a look that is highly reminiscent of Omega‘s ground-breaking diver – it is the one that I would personally aspire to owning.
But how about you; would this be your choice?
