Deep Dive Into The OMEGA World

by Iris

In 2022, OMEGA has taken a deep dive into technology, with watches that offer a striking range of colours and materials, each with their own story to tell. As always, OMEGA has managed to find that sweet spot between the all new – and the tried and true. The approach that made OMEGA world famous.

 

 

Seamaster Planet Ocean Ultra Deep

 

Seamaster Planet Ocean Ultra Deep 6000M, $15,800

In 2019, the very first Ultra Deep watches made history when they reached the deepest place on Planet Earth. In 2022, the technology that made the dive possible has been transformed into a game-changing 6,000 m collection available to the public. 45.5 mm models with high-performance materials and patent-pending designs, that represent the very pinnacle of OMEGA’s dive watch legacy.

 

In April of that year, three Ultra Deep watches joined explorer Victor Vescovo on a mission to the bottom of the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean. Originally recorded as 10,925 m (35,843 ft), the depth was later updated to 10,935 m (35,876 ft) and is the deepest any human or watch has ever dived. Two of the Ultra Deep watches were attached to the submersible’s robotic arm, while another was strapped to a data-gathering unit known as a Lander. Thanks to their ingenious build and design, all three watches completed the 12-hour dive without a problem and surfaced completely unscathed.

 

Taking the next step in state-of-the-art ocean design, 2022 sees the release of seven new models in the Ultra Deep collection. Water-resistant to 6,000 m (20,000 ft), the 45.5 mm range is led by a bold version crafted in sand-blasted and forged grade 5 titanium.

 

Six models in the Ultra Deep collection have been built in brand new O-MEGASTEEL. Each design is completed by either a rubber strap or an O-MEGASTEEL bracelet. The rubber straps feature a technical diving suit structure on the upper surface, along with an O-MEGASTEEL buckle. For the metal bracelets, OMEGA’s patented extendable foldover rack-and-pusher has been included, with a complementary length adjustment and an extra diver extension – perfect for use around a thick wetsuit.

 

Seamaster Diver 300M

Seamaster Diver 300M Co‑Axial Master Chronometer 42MM, $7,400

The watch that first surfaced in 1993 is back and bolder than ever in 2022, with a wave-pattern dial in a striking shade of green. The 42 mm watch in stainless steel sports a uni-directional rotating bezel with a polished green ceramic ring with Grand-Feu white enamel diving scale. Driving the beautiful new Seamaster Diver 300M with green polished ceramic dial is OMEGA’s Co-Axial Master Chronometer 8800 with special luxury finish. The model highlighted has a polished-brushed stainless steel bracelet, with a new integration to the case, giving the dive watch a dressy feel. Those wanting a sportier look can choose an integrated green rubber strap.

 

Seamaster Aqua Terra

Aqua Terra 150M 34mm Family, each at $8,300

With a range of new dial shades that track a smooth transition from Aqua to Terra. Fans can choose larger sized models in 38 mm, with dials in Atlantic blue, Bay green, Sandstone, Saffron and Terracotta. Or 34 mm editions with dials in Sea blue, Lagoon green, Sandstone, Shell pink and Lavender. The beautiful new dials, fashioned from brass, are sun-brushed from the centre, with rhodium-plated hands and indexes on the 38 mm models and 18K white gold hands and indexes on the 34 mm editions. All models are cased in fully polished stainless steel and fixed to the wrist by bracelets which have been beautifully redesigned with rounded links. Providing the power is OMEGA’s Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8800.

 

 

Constellation 41 mm

Constellation Co-Axial Master Chronometer 41mm, $8,900

Among the new models for 2022 are these star performers in the Constellation family. 41 mm models with ceramic bezel rings and beautiful new dials in white, rhodium-grey, gradient-green and burgundy. Materials on offer are stainless steel, stainless steel and 18K yellow gold, and stainless steel and 18K Sedna™ Gold. Ceramic bezels in polished blue, black or brown, display Roman numerals filled with white enamel or OMEGA Ceragold™, depending on the model. All watches have a matching coloured leather strap with rubber lining. OMEGA’s Co-Axial Master Chronometer 8900 provides the power.

 

Constellation 28mm

Constellation Quartz 28mm, $5,000

OMEGA’s beautiful new 28 mm additions to the Constellation family feature pastel dials in a choice of four colours: Blush Rose, Patchouli Blossom, Celestial Blue and Green Matcha. The subtle new hues also make an appearance on the bezel. To add an extra pop of pastel to the display, OMEGA has matched the engraved Roman numerals to the colours of the dial. All four watches have a case and bracelet in stainless steel and feature hands, indexes and applied elements in 18K white gold. Providing the power is OMEGA’s Calibre 4061, a superb quartz movement that offers unwavering precision.

 

Constellation Aventurine

Constellation Aventurine family, $27,200 each

These extraordinary 29 mm models have dials made from natural Aventurine stone, which means no two dials are ever alike. There are twelve new editions, in stainless steel and Sedna™ Gold – or Sedna™ Gold for purists – all with natural Aventurine stone dials in either green, red or blue. Fans can choose bezels paved with diamonds or engraved with Roman numerals. Replacing the famous Mono-rang bracelet are leather straps in colours to match the dial. The driving force behind the natural dials is OMEGA’s Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8700 – or 8701 for the all-gold models.

The trio featured have diamond set bezels, skeletonised hour and minute hands and dial-matching leather straps in shimmering blue, red with glittered scale lines or green. Providing the power is OMEGA’s Co-Axial Master Chronometer calibre 8701, visible through the domed scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.

 

 

Speedmaster

OMEGA’s famous Speedmaster ’57, first introduced in 2013, returns in 2022, with a Master Chronometer upgrade and slimmer profile. The new collection consists of eight new stainless steel models, all powered by OMEGA’s Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 9906. The use of a manual-winding movement allows for a thinner case and finer bezel, giving the new ’57 watches a streamlined look. There’s a “sandwich“ black dial edition with recessed hour markers filled with vintage Super-LumiNova – and three releases with PVD dials, in blue, green and a new varnished burgundy.  The entire collection is presented with stainless steel bracelets or matching coloured leather straps.

 

At just 12.99 mm, the new ’57 is considerably slimmer than its cousin the Speedmaster Moonwatch 3861 at 13.58 mm. Of course, there is always a nod to space history on a Speedmaster. The bracelet on the steel version is inspired by the Apollo 11 tribute launched in 2019, and equipped with OMEGA’s patented comfort release adjustment system.

 

Speedmaster Moonwatch

 

Speedmaster Moonwatch Professional Co‑Axial Master Chronometer Chronograph 42mm, $47,400

When it comes to case materials, fans of the Moonwatch are already spoiled for choice, with current collection models in steel, Sedna™ Gold and Canopus Gold™. In 2022, OMEGA is taking lunar inspiration to the next level with two new models in Moonshine™ Gold. One with Moonshine™ Gold dial, black ceramic bezel ring and blackened subdials and indexes. Another with a PVD green coated dial and a green ceramic bezel ring. To offer aficionados even greater choice, OMEGA is offering two ways to fix their Moonshine™ Gold Moonwatch to the wrist: a matching bracelet or strap. Powering all new models is OMEGA’s Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 3861.

 

As shown, OMEGA is offering the watch on a polished and brushed 18K Moonshine™ Gold bracelet, or integrated black rubber strap with lunar surface texture on the back and 18K Moonshine™ Gold foldover clasp.
