Currently enjoying some rest and relaxation in Chicago. Of course, my idea of rest and relaxation involves visiting boutiques and ADs!

Today I paid a visit to the Omega Boutique hoping to see a Seamaster Planet Ocean Ultra Deep, especially the blue-black gradient dial. Unbelievably, they had both the rubber strap and the bracelet edition available for viewing:

Yes, they’re quite thick. But I was surprised to learn I could actually pull this off on my 6.5” wrist. You need the right lighting conditions to appreciate the gradient dial:

They also had the orange bezel with the grey-black (i.e. brown) gradient dial. Based on the typical artist renditions utilized by Omega, this piece never crossed my radar. But it’s actually quite striking in the flesh:

I’m shocked by these PO’s! Yes, they are anything but small. But not as big as I expected, which is probably due to the lug-to-lug length. These are so much better than I had ever expected! Check them out folks!

Best,

Mark

Key Points from the Discussion

The stainless steel Ultra Deep, despite its thickness, wears surprisingly well due to its lug-to-lug length, making it suitable even for smaller wrists.
The titanium Ultra Deep, while aesthetically appealing, features a different lug design that gives it a taller perspective and is limited to a NATO strap, which might be a drawback for some.
The blue-black gradient dial is particularly striking under the right lighting conditions, and the orange bezel with the grey-black gradient dial is also visually impressive in person, often exceeding expectations set by official renders.
Some collectors find the Ultra Deep design clunky compared to earlier Planet Ocean models, preferring the classic aesthetic.
The availability of the Ultra Deep models at boutiques allows for immediate purchase, a contrast to the scarcity often seen with other desirable luxury watches.
There's interest in comparing the Ultra Deep side-by-side with other substantial dive watches like the Rolex Deepsea James Cameron edition to assess their wearability and presence.
