    The deepest scuba dive is around 330 meters, so the depth arms race is a bit daft really. I guess if you accidentally drop your watch overboard on your yacht, and mount a multi million dollar recovery operation, from the sea floor 1000s of meters below, it'll still work. So that's good.

    I have been wearing my Omega Seamaster Professional Chronograph for 23 years (before Co-axial time) and the watch had gone diving in Hawaii, swimming pool, hot tub, sauna and steam room in the gym. The most depth it had dived down to was about 50 feet and that was all I could take. These super deep dive watches are for people who appreciate a fine piece of craftsmanship and not particularly for everyday wearing. The Rolex is a very pretty watch and Omega is a watch you can actually buy any time without a ridiculously long waiting list as the Rolex, and Rolex price their watch out of reach for most people me included. By the way my 23 years old Omega had it first service two years ago and it is now running at about 1 and a half second fast per month, yes month not day. My Rolex Datejust two tone runs about 5 seconds fast per day. Not locking Rolex it is just my situation.

    @@danbarrett3347 oh dear.... I started this with "that is simply incorrect"? Might want to check who's name is next to that comment Dim... I mean Dan. The water resistance is how many metres? The deepest part of the ocean is how deep? I'm sorry, I don't see the contradiction 🤔 I do, however, see that you concede it can go as deep in a later paragraph after claiming it can't. Finally, and I didn't realise I was talking to an eleven year old ('haters'? Really?) I'm pretty sure that a subjective opinion is still allowed in these times. I'll qualify that opinion by saying that yes, I think a watch that is made for the wrist and measures 28mm deep is idiotic. Rolex and omega are only doing this for one up man ship over the other. Its marketing bragging rights by the two largest and largely most boring watch makers in Switzerland. They've done it so the accountant with the seamaster can justify his purchase over the accountant with the sub in they pub on a Friday night. ".... Yes, but omega hold the record for deepest dive..." Neither of whom have subjected their watches to anything deeper than the bath. Making a watch that functions at eleven thousand metres under the sea is idiotic. (in my opinion) The sinn is completely different - I agree with you here - as it is made to be as hard as nails. This watch will outlive you in any of your adventures. It's built to be tough as old boots and actually used. It is a functioning tool watch and not a marketing wet dream. I don't know who the chap was referring to when he said 'that is simply incorrect' but he was incorrect. You were correct in what you said and so was I. Can the Sinn go to the deepest part of our ocean without letting water in? Yes. Is it affordable? It's not cheap but it's much much much more affordable and attainable that the rolex or omega. Is it wearable? It's big but it's not crazy big.

    Did you know, your 300m watch and 11000m water resistant watches have about the same odds in keeping water out? Neither will ever reach depths that will reach their depth limits, however, both are just as likely that their owners forgot to screw back the crown before entering water.

    This watch comes with an 11 kilometer piece of string, and a boat ticket to the Mariana Trench so you can test it out. If the watch fails, Rolex guarantees they'll replace it for free, complete with a new boat ticket. You will need to reuse the string though.

    I honestly get the feeling that Rolex has run out of ideas. First, a left-handed watch nobody asked for, and now this. As a technical exercise, it's fascinating. However... its size makes it impractical to wear, and being the first production Rolex in titanium (hell, just being a Rolex in general) it's going to be next to impossible to get at retail. Plus, at this stage, it's claiming a mantle that it hasn't even achieved yet - at least the Omega Ultra Deep can actually claim to have been to the bottom of the ocean. It's also ugly to boot (or should that be, Das Boot?)

    I don't think the Omega actually fell off, the expedition it was a part of carefully mapped the bottom of the trench and they went into the deepest part of it, something that neither Trieste nor Cameron's trip felt a need to do. The hosts have it right that if Rolex wants the title back they will probably have to go back with shovels and a bucket. I'm sure they can come up with some halfway plausible justification involving science, but time will tell.
