I can’t, for the life of me, understand complaints about the 28.5mm thickness of a CONCEPT watch that has survived the deepest part of our planet at the most extreme of pressure?
This is a remarkable achievement for a watch that hasn’t strayed too much from its original design and aesthetics.
Parts of this achievement will filter down to future releases, for sure.
This has undoubtedly pushed the boundaries further for dive watches.
Well done Omega.
"Though not commercially available, Omega has hinted that elements of the Seamaster Planet Ocean Ultra Deep Professional, both its design and construction, could make their way into future Seamaster releases."
I think this is the most important thing we should take from this release.
Yep, going one up on Rolex

Where did you read this?
"Derivative" is the right word. It's little more than a bloated publicity stunt. Kind of sad.
Triple the rating is not a difficult feat to accomplish when it's almost double the thickness of a Sea-Dweller but only rated at 600m with a mineral "Hardlex" crystal
HRV - Helium Relief Valve. During a saturation dive, the deepest diving technology, Helium seeps into a watch case through the seals and pressurizes the interior of a watch. Then during decompression the Helium can not escape fast enough and may cause the crystal to pop off the watch. This is not common since most divers in Sat don't wear watches and those that do are usually either wearing a model that has a relief valve or follow the step in the decomp procedure to unscrew their watch crown prior to deco.
