Nabbed the first Titanium Ultra Deep in the US

That’s because no one can pull off a watch that doesn’t have has wearability as a design goal.

glad that OP is happy, but cmon

Nice looking watch, but definitely not meant for long sleeve dress shirts! T H I C K!!!

But I can't help but wonder why they couldn't have made it 2-3 mm thinner👎
Maybe they aren't all that interested in selling many and it mainly exists as a technical show piece which will linger in boutiques on prominent display sitting all in it's own display case in the middle of the floor with some added visuals around it. In which case I suppose they have achieved their objective and it will get people talking about the brand more👍

Given what the other brands are offering it may be not that easy to achieve:
- The Deepsea is less than 1mm thinner than the UD, for 2/3 of the depth rating.
- The ZRC Grand Fond 3000 is a tad thicker than the UD, with only 1/2 of the depth rating, but claiming 'tested at 5000m' (in that case Omega could claim 'tested at 7500m' as ISO 6425 requires the watch to be tested 2h at 125% of the rated water pressure)

The only way reasonable way to make it 2-3mm thinner would be a manual watch

I think the only time I smacked a watch against something was when i was going around a corner in the office. Luckily it was my GSotM so it came out unscathed.



Wearability was definitely a goal or else they would've just released the original Ultra Deep as is but sure, its likely a tertiary goal at most for this watch.

Its definitely too big for many people to wear at all. And for me I would never wear it with any outfit that isn't casual. Luckily I wear jeans and a t-shirt for work 90% of the time so this watch will get plenty of use.

That fairytale reference doesnt really apply here though, I don't think anyone is disillusioned about the massive size of this watch and how niche it is.



Its a good, plain, high quality strap. In a perfect world, Omega would have thought of a solution like this so we could have the full OEM look (brushed titanium hardware and matching blue accent) while avoiding the extra 2mm of thickness.

One thing to note though, I don't think this strap was intended to be worn this way. Its 29cm long (typical of most NATOs) so when looped the way I have it, it is just enough for my 7" wrist. Maybe a 7.25" wrist would fit. If you have a larger wrist, I'd email them and see if custom lengths can be made.

I’m



Sorry
The reference was about others saying how nice it it is, looks great, when I’m saying no one can pull it off and it doesn’t look all that different on you vs your girlfriend (simply because the watch is so huge, NOT because of you)

but I see now more clearly that’s just my opinion, and probably comes off as more mean-spirited than anything else and I should just shut up if I can’t say something nice.

My apologies.

This makes sense but I also wonder why they made it out of Titanium if it doesn't equate to making a thinner watch👎

My local OB has both the TI and SS version. I got to check it out this past weekend. Way too big for my wrist but had to see these awesome dive watches in person. Here are some pics compared to my Gen 3 X33. I gotta say the rubber strap on the stainless version is super comfortable!
