Thank you so much dear friend for your kind greetings. Agree with you that it is meant to be seen... by me! Lol! But most of times I need to have my watches out of sights by...
... security reasons.
Of course it is so nice to be free to view our watches on our wrists but it is a pleasure which I can´t give myself in my place regrettably.
Thank you again for your kind words! Best cordial regards, Abel
Just for the pleasure of sharing a new addition to my Omega stable…
Hello friends! After a long long wait it finally arrived to my wrist: the titanium variant of the Ultra Deep was ordered just a few days after its announcement last year. But… due to the strict government import restrictions in my Country (which is going ...
Literally HUGE congrats...
for this new incoming dear Abel! Don't hide it under the sleeve, it is meant to be seen! Enjoy!

What a cool watch!
I was able to try the steel version a few months ago and despite the size and my modest 17cm wrist it was wearing fine. Definitely HUGE congratulations!!
Thank you so much jlux for your kind comments and greetings. I have your same wrist size and though I feel more comfortable with 40/42 mm watches I like to wear my big Panerai so much.
Interesting to know your feelings when trying the steel version on your own wrist. Anyway, my main problem is with wearing watches with Nato style straps as they look so thick around the sides of any watch. I´m presently wearing this watch with a single p...
There is something so appealing about these monstrous watches
This massive instrument looks great on you!! A fine pick up for your collection. Congratulations!
Hello Michael! Thank you so much for your kind comments on the watch and how it looks on my wrist. Agree with you that big "monstrous" watches have an special appealing.
I was anxiously waiting for it and I´m happy that it finally arrived. Receive my best cordial regards. Abel
Hello dear Abel
Congratulations on your new watch, I’m sure it’s going to be a wonderful new addition to your dive watches collection. It looks very well finished and thinking that such a beautiful thing can endure pressures up to 6000 meters under the sea is unbelievabl...
Hello dear Derreck! Thank you so much for your kind comments and good wishes. Yes, I felt that it was an interesting timepiece to add to a diving watches collection.
Finish is superb and the dark grey titanium adds an stealthy looks to it. Agree with you that the 6000 meters depth rating is something amazing. Present technologies allow to make these marvels which though no diver can reach these depth they are demonstr...
Congrats!
Haven't had a chance to see it "in the metal" yet, as it was out-of-stock whenever I visited Omega boutiques. Definitely a very special watch, given how much technological considerations go into designing such things. Enjoy in great health!
Hello direacpoint. Thank you for your kind comments and good wishes. Agree with you that it is a very special watch and it deserves to be seen in the metal.
I wish you can view and try it soon and eventually jump on it. It´s a great and Big watch. Best cordial regards, Abel
Congratulations, super cool watch!
I tried it on at my local AD a while ago and thought that, though of course huge, it was surprisingly not ungainly. Surprisingly gainly? Anyway, one suggestion: get a MN-style elastic strap from Erika's or (my cheaper favorite) The Watch Steward. The adva...
Hello dear Blau! Thank you so much for your kind comments on my new Omega. Interesting to share your own experience with this watch.
As I said before my main concern is wearing watches with a Nato, as my wrists are thin (17cms) and they look a bit akward to my taste with the straps standing out to both sides of the watch and adding about three millimeters to the height of watch head. I...
Ha ha ha!! I feel I will never be able to verify myself if it really stands that depth. Can you imagine what 600 bars can make to a human body? Ouch!!
Agree with you on the non date dial. Best cordial regards, Abel
off topic but with my daughter we recently watch a documentary on Netflix on free divers (going deep with no oxygen - just your breath)
The featured lady diver holds the free diving record I think of ~125 meter...the imagine and the feeling just at that depth was breathtaking - literally!
Apnea diving (holding your breath) is a very …
… interesting (and dangerous) sport. Specially when trying to break records. It requires a strong mind set and tons of training. 125 meters is truly deep even for divers equipped with breathing equipment. (Never pure oxigen as it is toxic beyond just 10 m...
Big (no pun intended! 😉) congratulations on acquiring this!
A stunning timepiece whether part of a divers' or eclectic watch collection! Big, but beautiful and so very cool!
Ha ha ha! Thanks a lot dear KCLQMULKU! Appreciate your kind comments. Agree with you that it is both stunning and beautiful... and cool too.
Best cordial regards, my friend. Abel
Adding a shot of its nice caseback…
… with the “sonar emblem” and classic Sea Horse Omega Seamaster logo. It also shows its fixed lugs called “Manta lugs” by Omega. Cheers! Abel ...
Congratulations Abel 👏👏👏🍾🥂…
I hope it brings you lots of joy ! Best regards Captain ...
Thank you Salamanq!! You are too kind.
I’m enjoying it so much! Best cordial regards Abel
Mission imposible
Like the movie title, not possibile to not reply with such a special watch. You waited long Abel, to get one. That Argentina struggles economically is painful. Hope the future will change and times will be better. But here it is, your new Deep Sea Omega. ...
Hello dear Weems. Thank you for your kind comments. I appreciate…
… so much for your words about my Country. This is a great place but it deeply hurts. It has such a great potential but due to repeating mistakes of governments and politicians through the last 60 years they have put this land in poverty and the worst eco...
Big, big, BIG congrats, dear Abel!
I like this „beast“ very much! It’s flawless design (clean dial without date) as well as its technical achievements (Master Chrono, no helium valve). Because of the latter, this watch is even more interesting to me than the Rolex Deepsea JC (which I owned...
Hello Thomas: thank you so much for your kind comments and sharing your thoughts about my new Ultra Deep.
Regarding the Manta Lugs: I´m not sure about why Omega decided about these type in the Titanium version of the UD as the stainless Steel version has the standard lugs and pin bars. But... probably they thought about previous requeriments from Navy watches...
Hello dear Nicolas. Yes, this watch accepts any Nato of 22 mm wide. I have a personal problem with Nato: I don´t like how they look in my thin 17 cms wrists due to the ...
"thick" amount of straps which show at both sides of the watch. Just a personal impression or taste. I´m presently trying my Ultra Deep with a single pass Nato and this looks much better for my taste. As I was suggested above by our friend Blau I need to ...
Ahh yes, of course! I’m presently trying with this blue…
… single pass Nato. It gets rid of all metal hardware at the sides and it looks better for my personal taste. ...
Blue is indeed my favorite color come to straps
Today and yesterday i wrote with GLau about his strap. GLau and i go to look how to make a copy of his strap and send to me my strap for my Longines Conquest.
Some counts
I go to calculate import duties HK to Holland. Part recognition by customs. When it is clear for me, i will contact GLau and DHL Express.
I found information
It is easy. I pay all customs fees to the transporter who do the shipping. With only a bespoke strap it would be peanuts. Best, WeemsA8.
The Manta lugs
Thanks Abel for diving the picture up where an Ultra Deep with the Manta lugs. I guess only a special Omega Ultra Deep nato can be attached on. Besides it, it is a very interesting Ultra Deep because of the Manta lugs. It give the watch the fullest Tool w...
Hello dear Weems: Thanks a lot for your message and thoughts. Regarding the Manta Lugs...
... they will accept any Nato style straps both original made by Omega or aftermarket. It will also accept any single pass Nato which is what I´m trying today. They make for a more fitting around the wrist looks which I like better. And it takes 2 mm less...
Thank you so much remarque for your kind comment!
A show stopper it is!! Best cordial regards Abel
Has to find its way to your collection, dear Abel.
Saw it in steel, yes it is big but the aura is of a technical refined watch, so the size works. Very nice looking in titanium! Big congrats to it, dear Abel.
Thank you so much my dear Count!! Appreciate your kind comments and sharing your thoughts on the steel version. Agree with you. I liked both versions so much but felt...
... the Titanium version looked very stealthy and professional with its grey finish and choose this one. Glad you like it, Best cordial regards, Abel
Congrats, Abel!
I was trying on the Ultra Deep again last week and really loving it! It's a wonderful watch, especially in the blue/black combo.
Big congrats on an amazing piece!
I bought the steel orange version today on an impulse! Even though I have a small wrist, just shy of 17cm, I think I can pull it off. Like you said, it is definitely a milestone piece (specially your titanium version), which makes it extremely cool (IMO)....
Hello dear Pessoa! Thank you !! And Big congrats to you too…
… for your new addition to your collection! We have same wrist size and your new watch looks great on yours. The orange bezel and fume dial combo makes a perfect Summer watch. It looks so cool with those rubber straps with orange borders which are a great...
