I love this anniversary Ultra Deep with the Mariana Trench dial. The regular UD celebrates the world record for the deepest dive of 10,935 metres down the Mariana Trench. Omega have toned down the prototype to make it wearable at 45.5mm wide, 18.1mm thick and 51.9mm lug to lug, for a total weight of 254g, on larger wrists. Shining a UV light on the dial will show "Omega was here" on a map of the ocean floor. Pretty cool.

Same here, Vic! It's my favourite of the new releases. The Planet Ocean is second for me, but what they've done here on the Ultra Deep is rather appealing.

The boutique told me they would take a deposit for availability in 3-6 months.

Lol three boutiques told me that for the green Seamaster here in London and I refused to engage.

Ended up getting the call something like 8 times in the end and you now see them in the window.

I wouldn’t give a penny deposit.

Looks like you can pull off the UD, you gotta add that - I would if my wrist was up for it. I was drawn to the WT. somehow that wears a little smaller than it’s specs

Thanks guys. They all were nice. I’m not in the market for any of them at the moment, but I really enjoyed the SMP 300. The dial color is spot on. The reason I’m sitting tight is because I’m hoping to add a 60th Bond - no date, tight waves, great bezel - I think this one is really, really well done.

The UD is incredible- the dial makes you feel like you’re staring at the ocean. Very cool! It wears big and thick, but not uncomfortable. I dig it.

I was hoping to try on the Ploprof, but it wasn’t available.

It must of been AD owned boutique’s then because London boutique’s owned by Omega don’t take deposits. For reference the owned ones are in Sloane Street, Oxford street, Royal Exchange and Regents street.

I wasn't a fan of them on release. They are definitely much better in person with different blue gradient effects across different references. Nicely done Omega.

Nice pics. Funny, on release this was probably the one I liked least. But in your real life pictures this 300 may now be my favorite. That dial really pops.

The Seamaster 300 is my favorite as well. Tapering bracelet with ajustable clasp plus the dial and bezel colors go well together.

I like the 300 as well. Very clean without the use of faux patina like in the current model.

Is it me or does the bezel look ceramic instead of aluminum?

New color is nice, but I’d rather have the standard blue dial SMP with the clear back case. The fact that it’s a thousand dollars less expensive is a bonus.

I’m fully paid for a 75th at an omega owned boutique in the US, they def want their interest free loan. Europe looks out for consumers better
