As the age-old adage goes, there are plenty of fish in the sea. Translation: there are plenty of Omega models in this assembly to choose from. Should you take your watersports seriously and truly feel at one with the ocean, the Planet Ocean 600M is everything the name suggests. With a PVD treated and varnished with a gradient finish, blued hands and indexes beckon you to jump right on in.

The new Seamaster Ultra Deep

Paying homage to Omega’s affinity for all things nautical, Omega concludes this gigantic drop with the Omega Speedmaster Ultra Deep. A tribute to the world-record deepest dive, Omega crafted a 6000-meter water-resistant collection. At 45.5mm in robust O-MEGASTEEL, it pays homage to the deepest known point in the Earth’s seabed. World records aside, the real highlight of this watch is the etching on the dial, which will only be revealed in UV light: A declaration that ‘Omega was here!’ referencing the world-record dive. If this means I carry a UV flashlight with me when I wear this thing, then so be it.

Usually, solid casebacks give me the ick, blocking off the insane artistry of the movement behind a watch, but for the remodeled Seamasters, I will forgive. Each model in this Seamaster collection features a commemorative caseback, where Omega nods to its seafaring history—designer Jean-Pierre Borle sculpted the iconography of Neptune’s Seahorse with a trident-bearing god in stainless steel. It’s a fitting capstone to a collection that Poseidon himself would have approved of.
