Big deal.
Maybe they rammed it right home by timing the arrival at the bottom to precisely coincide with high tide. Yeah, that'll f**kem.
The Rolex Deepsea challenge watch which is available(sort of) at your local Rolex dealer(even to Omega fanboys) sort of kisses off the Omega Ultra Deep though. Doesn't it?
Besides, when we factor in the +25% test pressure of the depth rating, the point is utterly mute.
8 metres.
I suppose Omega might be able to scrounge up enough bits of scrap/offcuts of Titanium from the making of the submersible to cobble together a few examples of a Challenger watch that could go up against the commercially available Rolex
But Omega will never have the RINGLOCK  |
The point is not the 8 meters, it's that it went to the deepest point on earth. Unless someone digs a hole down there, ain't nobody going deeper.
I prefer this over the DSSD to be honest, and it has nothing to do with 8 meters. Neither watch is the same as the ones that went down the trench anyway, so it's really just personal preference.
