Still cant swim with it. Maybe someday a brand will come up with a watch you can submerge in the pool
I love that you're the only watch nerd getting these frankly ridiculous watches in and giving them such high quality production and presentation. It's easy to tell that you do this stuff for YOU mainly, as well as intriguing audiences with pieces that aren't "normally covered". I certainly appreciate that your not making videos for clicks. Thanks dude - what a badass watch that ultra deep is!

the helium escape valve is here to stay. it's iconic. Omega's cyclop from Rolex. who else has that?
I tried the orange version on recently and I was shocked at how much smaller it looked on wrist to what I was expecting. The steel looks fabulous and the fine chamfered edges on the bracelet are extremely well done.
I have an Ultra Deep! The same exact one. I was torn between the titanium and the steel. I love the way the titanium looks better but I hate, like you said, how you can't put a bracelet on it...just nato straps. It's a chunk but it's super comfortable. I always thought it was a unique watch but was never in the market for it. After figuring out the hard way that I would not be getting my holy grail watch, a Rolex 126622, and after now boycotting Rolex, I opted for the Omega. I couldn't be any happier. I have a small wrist and it fits surprisingly well.
Finally a watch I’d feel safe walking through the rain in
Loved the decompression explanation 👌
The Ploprof is such a beautiful watch. Will hopefully add it to my collection in the next couple of years
Honestly an incredible watch. I'd buy it if I could afford it. Cheers.
Love your videos. Very entertaining and your humor is right up my alley. Oh and this watch is awesome
This watch was made for Victor Vescovo - how did you miss that! He's been to the deepest part of each ocean, the highest mountains on each continent, north and south poles, into space and has done the longest mountain ascent in Hawaii - from the base of the mountain deep undersea to the summit. He is the worlds greatest modern explorer.
You were supposed to tell me this was totally impractical, a fool's errand, and yet here we are...hovering over the "add to cart" button. So much for being the voice of reasonability.
I love this channel especially the subtle humor

Yeah, me too! It’s the best thing, the part when Ewan uses Helium to change the pitch of his voice hahahaha. Who does that???? Ewan, that is who.
Good video! Ps. DSV stands for diving support vessel. The divers stay on board in their saturation chamber their entire trip where they stay under pressure and go up and down to their worksite in what's called a bell. Fun fact, DSVs also have hyperbaric lifeboats, so the divers can stay pressurized if they have to abandon ship for whatever emergency. Keep up the good work!
Such a quaint little watch. ❤
Love the you’re terrific t-shirts, great quality and fit. Lots of funny questions from people who see them. 😎
One feels it when you really like a watch, and not just having fun with it! (I like it too in the same way I like the Seiko MM300.)
Congratulations on daring to show us the scratches on the clasp of your Ploprof. I admire your videos, too!
I prefer the ploprof I think that’s an awesome watch. I used to own a seadweller which is also very nice
Awesome video. I have the same hate-like for several similarly weird unnecessary pieces. (Aren’t they all). Really surprised the UV light Easter egg didn’t make the video though. I’m sure there’s many many jokes in that.
I've tried this watch on a couple times lately and the temptation is growing despite its price. Solid, simple (no useless "complications", and no date to fiddle with, thank God!), tough & durable. That the titanium model can only be worn with NATO straps (I hate them), plus the fact that it has no crown guards, knocks titanium out of the race in my case. But the steel version is not too heavy if you're used to wearing large, heavy strainless steel diver's watches. Only real downside: For wearers of long-sleeve dress shirts it's impracticably thick. Otherwise, this watch is beautiful but straightforward, always readable and simply very practical. Mainly because it's so rock solid... not because anyone expects to go down 6000 meters and come back alive.
This video makes me want to buy this watch to never wear, but always look at. Lovely.
I agree its very wearable, my wrist is about 6 and 3/4 and it wears well on it. I have it on the rubber strap as the bracelet model was sold out and considering I paid 40% less than rrp I'm not complaining

Havent tried this on, but you rock it. I was shocked at how much I liked the wearing experience of the planet ocean 39.5 over the seamaster 300. Omega definitely has more than the SM300
It truly is pretty. When making their new record-breaking diver, I feel like Rolex completely forgot to make something actually good looking or even remotely wearable in the persuit of being top dog. This watch is so much more appealing.

At first I was expecting you to say o-mega steel with a sound effect only to be proven wrong and then immediately after proven right. Happy you did
Omega has made a watch I can never use for its intended purpose while at the same time making me "need" to have one.
Love your videos. Another great one.
I also find it so ridiculous that I actually like it! Sadly, or luckily, depends how you look at it, my wrist can fit 36,923 times into that depth rating so I can't pull it off 😢

Honestly as much as I love the wave dial on the SMP300 it makes the dial way too busy. Make it 40mm diameter, 13mm thick, 48mm lug to lug, remove the sea wave, give options for date/no date, and offer a number of colours and BOOM

this is sacrilegious, but i wish the regular seamaster looked like this
It looks really good. I think it needs a large wrist, not for the width or lug-to-lug, but for the depth.
I have a first gen planet ocean 45.5 mm. I swear it looked half as thick as this one lol. Good looking watch though!!
The He valve is actually for the bath you'll take in the secondary market
Extra everything is good 👍!
Great review. I have a cal 8500 with the jump hour. I really like setting time. Date can be annoying though. Especially if I don't wear it for a while. With a long power reserve though it doesn't happen much.
This watch mostly makes me wish that they made a planet ocean without a date. And that I could afford one.

Great review man The humor was on point Be different wear a big ass watch!
This seems better designed that the 300M. I own a blue dial Seamaster 300M and a 41mm black dial Tag Heuer Aquaracer and I find myself reaching for my Tag more often. While my 300M has a gorgeous blue ceramic dial, that's where the fun ends. Granted it has the micro adjust that I find very useful throughout the day but two big problems I find are the weight and the massive clasp. The 42mm size just barely fits my 6.5 inch wrist and I'm always aware of the weight of the watch on my wrist. The large clasp means a large area for scratches and fewer links to go around my wrist robbing me of the pleasure of admiring the bracelet. I find the non-tapering bracelet ok but I don't care for the helium escape valve and the tiny date window. For all the crap that Tag receives, their Aquaracer is sensibly proportioned, has a decent sized clasp, a magnified date window, lovely matt finished steel bracelet and feels substantial but not so heavy that I'm always aware of it when I wear the watch.
Oh my... I wish they made this complete with its bracelet out of platinum+tantalum. A statement piece, armor for the wrist and a fatal blunt weapon.
Stunning! ❤❤❤
Dude I love your videos, can you let me know/drop a link in the description for the awesome synthwave tracks you're using for your intro/outro? Cheers!
*Invicta has entered the chat*
I have the Avenger 2 Seawolf which has the same measurements and it is a beefy watch. On my 7.5 wrist it fits much better on a strap than bracelet b/c the bracelet makes the thing way too top heavy. I imagine this must be the same. But this is such a good looking piece tho!
Tell us how you really feel about the helium escape valve.
@YoureTerrific

I feel like a dermatologist should remove it with a laser.
Im thinking of getting the summer blue varient and my main concern is the weight. Its a hefty watch ro say the least
The water pressure at a depth of 6000 mtrs is eq to 47450 Newtons/sq inch on the watch face, and that pressure is also eq to a waterfall pressure from a height of 593 mtrs … this clearly implies that such a Watch is fully capable of withstanding pressure of a crushing 100ft Seawave and/or a Shockwave of 194dB in real life .. thus the Watch is fully justified for its construction . . !!!
You absolutely do not need to set the hours and minutes separately. 🤣 The jump hour function is just there if you want to travel.

What a massive tough watch! I would be totally afraid of scratching it…
Actually, Seiko was the first to make a saturation diver without the need of a HE valve. And basically all Seiko/GS divers with a rating above 300m have this feature. It's called an "L" shaped gasket.
what a beautiful beast
Fun review Evan! Loving all the on-wrist shots! Hope all is well and still would love to get you a watch to checkout! We are about to release some super fun new projects that I think you will enjoy, as well as have some others in the works. As always, just say the word and we'll make it happen! Thanks for your support! All the best, Ben
Not as ridiculous as the Rolex Deepsea Challenge. The omega size is wearable
Have you tried the James Cameron? Would love to know your take between these two as I own a JC and between the two they seem fairly similar.
You knew we would all look at James Cameron's watch!
So this doesn’t need a helium escape valve but the 300m does?
I don’t own this watch, but if I did, I’d sell it.
Handsome watch

3:56 it’s NOT “ugly” at all. But hey you do you buddy.
I have the platinum version of this watch on leather.
Dear Omega, Please use this design for a regular Seamaster. Lume the arabics, NO FAUXTINA, and I'll prolly buy one.
All throughout this video all I could think about was the sound this watch would make when I hit it on a door frame. Maybe with Omega-steel the watch would be okay but I don't think I would be okay. I'd have emotional problems after that. For instance, _why do I need this watch_ and _what am I worrying about_ and _are my thoughts really in italics?_
🎉🎉🎉 SEVEN INCH WRIST 🎉🎉🎉
Honestly I rarely go deeper than 300 meters when naked snorkelling.
Yes, I'll take one, in proper man size thanks!
I wonder why they didn't make them in ceramic to save weight. Maybe it couldn't reach those depths no one can reach?
What do you mean "you have to set the hours and minutes separately"? Aint nobody forcing you to use that jump hour. Just set it like a normal watch 😅
Only Men need apply to wear it , love it and dont bitch about how big and thick this Cool watch is!!
So deep, so deep. Put my bank account to sleep.
For the same money, I’d get the deep sea because it looks better, as far as depth, it’s like having two cars - one goes 225mph and one goes 210mph, you’ll never get that fast so what’s the other factors…
Subways can be tough...
I like almost everything about it, it just needs to be seriously flattened out to 10/11 mm.
Compare this to SEIKO King Turtle.
Buuuut…can it withstand the depth of my desk though?

Lol! Best comment
Well how are you supposed to go treasrue hunting at the bottom of the ocean if the watch isn't resistant to magnets. lol
I just dont see the point of this watch the deepest a human could theoretically go is 1000m for saturation diving but for practical purposes they don't go beyond 300m. I rather they lighten the watch for a practclie depth so its easier to wear. A 200 mph Ferrari might not be practical but I can at least you can use it at a track (although who bothers when there's plenty of highway available). I feel like they just made these for guys like James camron or people who've don't the titanic sub dive.

How are you the first person to correct me and how did I mess up that easy math so terribly? I must have converted to wrist lengths somehow.
Your left arm is now swole AF.. nice watch though
I’m not a diver, and you’re a smart guy, but at 100 feet per day, decompression time at a depth rating of 20,000 feet is very simply 200 days, not 1600.
Fuuuuucccckkkk! This thing is so much cooler than the Rolex seadweller. It’s just dummy cool!!…and dummy thiccc🤣
This watch is based off such a laughable concept. But, considering how laughable mechanical wrist watches that cost more than $20 are, it fits right in.
Too expensive... otherwise it s a good alternative to the rolex deepsea

So you were wrong in your initial opinion? There are a lot things more pointless in a watch. Nobody actually uses a chronograph. Compass bezel is the most pointless. You could always get a Rolex Deepsea if you want something more wearable ; )
