Origins and Development

The Omega Deep Sea's origins can be traced back to the 1930s, when the company began developing specialized dive watches for the Royal Navy. In 1971, Omega released the first model of the Deep Sea, which quickly gained recognition for its impressive water resistance of 600 meters.

Over the years, the Deep Sea has undergone continuous refinements and advancements. In 1993, Omega introduced the Co-Axial escapement, a state-of-the-art technology that significantly improved the watch's accuracy and durability.

Unparalleled Depth Resistance

The most striking feature of the Omega Deep Sea is its exceptional depth resistance. The current model, released in 2011, boasts a water resistance rating of 6,000 meters, making it one of the most robust dive watches on the market.

This remarkable depth resistance is achieved through a combination of advanced materials and innovative engineering. The watch's case is made from lightweight and corrosion-resistant titanium, and it features a unidirectional rotating bezel with a helium escape valve.

Advanced Technology

Beyond its depth resistance, the Omega Deep Sea is packed with cutting-edge technology that enhances its performance in underwater environments.

• Master Chronometer Certification: The Deep Sea is certified as a Master Chronometer by METAS, a Swiss testing institute. This rigorous certification ensures that the watch meets the highest standards of accuracy, water resistance, and magnetic resistance.
• Co-Axial Escapement: The patented Co-Axial escapement significantly reduces friction and wear within the watch's movement, resulting in greater precision and durability. The Deep Sea's escapement is also equipped with a silicon balance spring, which provides enhanced resistance to magnetic fields.
• Helium Escape Valve: The helium escape valve is a critical safety feature for saturation divers. When the watch is exposed to high-pressure helium environments during decompression, the valve automatically releases excess gas to prevent the crystal from popping off.

A Legacy in Exploration

The Omega Deep Sea has been trusted by renowned divers on countless expeditions. In 2012, explorer Victor Vescovo wore the Deep Sea during his historic dive to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, reaching a depth of approximately 10,900 meters.

The watch has also been featured in the James Bond film franchise, where it has accompanied 007 on several daring underwater missions.

The Omega Deep Sea is a watch that combines exceptional performance, cutting-edge technology, and a rich history. Its unparalleled depth resistance, advanced features, and iconic design make it the ultimate choice for professional divers and watch enthusiasts alike.

Whether navigating treacherous depths or challenging the limits of human endurance, the Omega Deep Sea stands as a testament to the indomitable spirit of exploration and the pursuit of precision in even the most extreme environments.
