Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller Vs. Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Ultra Deep Replica Watches Wholesale UK

Unlike other longstanding 1:1 replica Rolex professional watches, the Sea-Dweller has not enjoyed a continuous run throughout its history. Over fifty years, the Sea-Dweller has seen replacements, updates, and even occasional discontinuation. However, in recent history, the offshoot deepest-diving Deepsea model has come in a substantial 44mm case. The beefier case allows the Deepsea to reach depths of 3,900 meters. With its 904L Oystersteel case, black 120-click Cerachrom bezel with platinum deposits, Chromalight illumination, and an Oyster bracelet with Glidelock clasp, the Deepsea is packed full of tech. Not to be outdone, the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Ultra Deep takes it up a notch and claims a depth rating of 6,000 meters — nearly double the extremities of the Rolex Deepsea!

Ben: Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller ref. 126660 Replica Watches

The reputation of the Deepsea is that of a thoroughly modern Rolex in design and construction. While the top UK fake Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller watches may be a contemporary execution, the concept of a watch delving beyond the abyss stretches back to the 1960s. As the US Navy was gearing up for its Project Nekton expedition, Rolex took the opportunity to develop its Deep Sea Special No. 3 “wrist” watch. This particular mission was to reach the Challenger Deep within the Mariana Trench. This spot in the Pacific Ocean, southwest of Guam, is considered the deepest ocean floor in the world. By procuring the Trieste bathyscaphe from Swiss oceanographer Auguste Piccard, the US Navy made further modifications to achieve the feat. The word “Bathyscaphe” stems from the Ancient Greek meanings for deep (bathys) and boat (scaphe).

The purpose of the watch was limited. It was neither on the wrists of Jacques Piccard (son of the boat’s designer Auguste Piccard) nor US Navy Lieutenant Don Walsh. Neither was the best replica watches in the vessel’s cabin. Instead, Rolex conducted a real-world test of its Deep Sea Special’s endurance by strapping it to the outside of the Trieste. Piccard and Walsh successfully navigated the Trieste through total darkness to its target depth. Alongside, the ludicrously thick and doming crystal of the Deep Sea Special withstood six tonnes of pressure per square inch at those depths. As Rolex said in 1961, “This Rolex watch spent 20 minutes on the Pacific Ocean floor, 35,797 feet down, and came up ticking!” In 2008, almost fifty years after accomplishing the deepest diving feat in history with the Deep Sea Special, Rolex gave us a new version of the Sea-Dweller.

Wilsdorf’s curtain closer

The 2008 Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller takes inspiration from the pioneering era of ocean exploration. Perhaps even more so, the Deepsea is a dedication to perfect Rolex copy watches’ founder, Hans Wilsdorf. Wilsdorf’s involvement with the Trieste mission was one of his final collaborations at the helm. A few months later, in 1960, he would pass away, leaving a longstanding legacy. The Deepsea is a spiritual successor of the Deep Sea Special but closely follows the lines of the Sea-Dweller and, in turn, the Submariner. On the face of it, you may assume the Deepsea only expands the Sea-Dweller’s dimensions to handle the pressures at 3,900 meters. Yet, running the circumference of the dial is the patented Ring Lock System. It doesn’t seem like much, but this visible titanium ring extends inside the case in a bucket shape and sits flush to the case back.

This connection is almost an evolution of the monobloc concept where all components are front-loaded into a solid case and lug platform. Instead, the design allows the inner section to compress as the pressure increases, similar to a “super compressor” watch. Yet, the system does not involve the entire case, only the crystal and Ring Lock System. It’s a very clever solution and employs a material seldom seen in top Rolex replica watches. Titanium, or “RLX Titanium” as Rolex calls it, is rare on Rolex watches. A few other examples share the material, including the metal blades within the Oysterflex bracelet. British sailor Sir Ben Ainslee is also testing a titanium prototype Rolex Yacht-Master “no date”, but that is not a production watch. Nevertheless, titanium is a core component of what makes the Deepsea resilient to extreme depths, possibly due to its strength and lightness.

James Cameron and the Replica Rolex D-Blue Deepsea Watches

Following the Swiss movements fake Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller watches, Rolex invited the press and partners to a special event in 2014. I remember that there was a lot of speculation and excitement at the time. Rolex had been building anticipation for what it was going to release next. After the unveiling, however, many left disappointed that it was just the same six-year-old Deepsea with new a blue-to-black gradient dial, mimicking the loss of light in the abyss. The press also complained it was a waste of time and money for a mere dial change. Rolex perhaps picked up on this, and we now only get the annual showing at Watches and Wonders (formerly, at Baselworld). Nowadays, we would crave some fanfare, however subtle, for a new Rolex timepiece at other points of the year. So nice going, watch journalists of 2014! This is why we can’t have nice things. The new “D-Blue” was more than a new paint job.

Two years prior, Canadian filmmaker and explorer extraordinaire James Cameron piloted the Australian-built Deepsea Challenger submersible for the second manned mission to the Challenger Deep. Cameron was the first person to achieve a solo dive to the deepest part of the ocean. He was shy of the Trieste’s 10,916m depth in 1960 by eight meters. However, the submersible spent three hours capturing the ocean bed with 3D cameras, over two and a half hours more than the Trieste. This meant the Rolex Deepsea Challenge affixed to the sub’s robotic manipulator arm had to withstand and continue functioning for far longer than its forebear in 1960. Luckily, the 51mm × 28.5mm non-production timepiece is certified to 12,000 meters — deeper than any ocean on this planet. But there is a series of three specialist Deepsea Challenge watches just in case.

Three upgrades in eight years

The 2014 Deepsea is a slightly thinner production version than Cameron’s watch. The Ring Lock System and innovative helium escape valve persist from the 2008 Deepsea, but the blue dial fading to black signifies the mission the crew undertook. Also, the “DEEPSEA” logo appears below the center pinion instead of above and is in “Kawasaki” green to match the submersible’s paint scheme. The 2018 reference 126660 I am repping in this showdown somewhat alters the dimensions of the 2014 reference 116660. It’s still 44mm × 17.7mm and 51mm lug-to-lug. But the bracelet widened from 20mm to 22mm between the lugs and tapers to 18mm towards the clasp. The more proportionate bracelet means the AAA super clone watches isn’t as top-heavy, although it’s still a handful to wield. Overall, it’s surprising that it’s only 2.5mm thicker than the regular Sea-Dweller considering it achieves over double the Sea-Dweller’s 1,220m rating.

Most of that case height is thanks to the impressive 5.5mm-thick crystal. This year, reference 126660 made way for reference 136660. The new 2022 model makes fine-tune adjustments that, on the surface, are hardly noticeable. The Deepsea is still 44mm 904L Oystersteel Rolex replica watches shop site. It is still powered by the manufacture caliber 3235 with a 70-hour power reserve and superlative accuracy standards of ±2 seconds per day. Now, however, that same movement incorporates a more significant date disc for a broader window on the dial. The larger aperture makes up for the lack of cyclops magnification on the crystal due to the thickness and performance at the certified depths. Other than some subtle sculpting around the lugs and updated engravings on the titanium case back, the references are quite similar. However, the flip-out diver’s wetsuit extension is no longer on the latest Deepsea. This watch carries a price of €13,500.

This year, Omega launched an arguably similar design for its O‑MEGASTEEL Planet Ocean Ultra Deep. Here’s Jorg to explain how it came to be and why it’s his choice.

Jorg: Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Ultra Deep Fake Watches

O-MEGASTEEL? RLX Titanium? Both Omega’s and Rolex’s marketing teams certainly enjoy injecting brand names into proprietary metals. It’s an exciting topic for the future, but that’s not why we are here today for this is the journey to the deep. These two replica watches paypal take underwater performance to the extreme. But as impressive as the Rolex Deepsea is, this new Omega Ultra Deep lives up to its namesake in about every category. It holds the trump card over the Rolex when it comes to list price, and surprisingly, the Ultra Deep has a specific significance that the Deepsea cannot claim. Let’s find out why.

The story of the new Ultra Deep begins with the Five Deeps Expedition in 2019. But going back further, the Ultra Deep was not Omega’s first foray into deep-ocean exploration. Omega has an unwavering lineage of creating dive fake watches for men since the 1930s with the Omega Marine. Robert-Jan Broer’s article on the five best Seamaster models gave a glimpse of the brand’s aquatic legacy. For me, the most iconic waterproof Omega is the Ploprof. You can probably sense my adoration for the Ploprof here. The Ploprof’s outsized bezel lock and monobloc case are the epitomai of form following function.

The story of the Ultra Deep

While the new Ultra Deep aims for a more conventional case layout than the Ploprof, it does so in the most jacked-up way possible. The basic structure of the regular-production Ultra Deep stems from the specialist tool piece that endured the Five Deeps Expedition. Led by renowned explorer Victor Vescovo, the Five Deeps Expedition set the goal of reaching the depths of each of the world’s five oceans. Accompanying Vescovo during the manned descents in the DSV Limiting Factor was the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Ultra Deep Professional. Like the Deepsea, the timepiece sat outside the submersible. During the fourth and penultimate dive of the mission, Vescovo broke the world record for the greatest depth ever reached at 10,927 meters. As such, the tag-along Ultra Deep became a record-breaking watch by withstanding the enormous pressures in the Mariana Trench.

The entire expedition was an extraordinary achievement. To learn more about it, check out this write-up by Mike Stockton as well as his article on the unveiling of the three Ultra Deep replica watches for sale in London. You can also check out Sky Sit’s article on the Five Deeps event, where we viewed the submersible. Despite the achievement, the 52.5mm × 28.5mm record-breaker is impossibly gargantuan. As fascinating as its accomplishment was for a relatively small object in comparison to the sub, to reach those depths, it’s still a behemoth on the wrist. And all that incredible technology was reserved for an unsalable item. Surely, we hoped, a production version was in the cards. Well, this year, we got our wish.

The Seamaster Planet Ocean Ultra Deep collection

Of the latest Seamaster Planet Ocean Ultra Deep collection, the titanium model has the closest resemblance to the 15,000m-rated model. Although the titanium is my favorite, the O-MEGASTEEL Ultra Deep is a comparable competitor to the Oystersteel Deepsea. The titanium and steel Ultra Deep share similar technology, but the matte finishing of the titanium case and the bezel set it apart from the steel’s brushed/polished mixture. The fixed “Manta Lugs” with the pass-through fabric strap make the titanium version much lighter. Even so, the 45.5mm × 18.12mm titanium case still tips the scales at 124g.

You can only imagine the mass when it comes to the O-MEGASTEEL Ultra Deep with a matching bracelet. At 51.95mm lug to lug, this is a big boy. The steel version does not come with the “Manta Lugs” but conventional protruding lugs for use with a bracelet or a strap. Options include black rubber straps with a tang buckle and blue or orange accents (depending on the colorway). The bracelet, which tapers from 22 to 18mm, comes with a sliding clasp and diver’s extension. A less noticeable difference between the steel and titanium models is the case shape. The steel case is symmetrical with crown protectors flanking the crown. In contrast, the titanium model features an asymmetrical case with a recessed crown. If I had to choose between the three available colorways and a strap or bracelet, I’d go with the full O-MEGASTEEL version with the blue/black gradient dial.

The magic of O-MEGASTEEL

So what is O-MEGASTEEL? Omega’s new alloy is harder than 316L and 904L steel at 300 Vickers. At the same time, the material is more elastic than regular steel, similar to titanium. As a result, the material will not deform at immense depths, which is handy as the Ultra Deep is water resistant to a whopping 6,000 meters. In controlled environments, METAS stress tests the Swiss made fake watches to 7,500 meters to add a 25% safety margin. That is more than impressive if you ask me, and it makes Deepsea’s 3,900 meters a paddling pool in comparison.

O-MEGASTEEL also has a brighter hue than regular steel. It gives the watch a fresh, crisp look, as pictured above. The material is also nickel-free for hypoallergenic purposes. Additionally, it offers better resistance to corrosion than regular stainless steel. The Ultra Deep comes equipped with a 5.2mm semi-conical EFG sapphire crystal, which 0.3mm thinner than that of the Deepsea. The shape of the crystal is inspired by the porthole of the DSV Limiting Factor. The same conical design principle is used for the crown to ensure optimal stress distribution. Titanium is used for the case back for a sturdier overall construction of the case. Omega has four patents pending regarding the case construction, hence why this model is not yet for sale. As a result of this new case construction, the best quality replica watches does not need a helium escape valve to perform at great depths, unlike the Deepsea.

Performance is at the heart of the Ultra Deep

But if you think that’s it, you’re wrong. To steal a Rolex term, the “superlatives” keep on coming. The new Ultra Deep meets the ISO 6425 standard for saturation dive 2022 fake watches. METAS independently certifies this along with its magnetic resistance and movement accuracy. Speaking of the movement, Omega equips the Ultra Deep with its in-house caliber 8912. The movement is based on the caliber 8900 without the date. The automatic movement operates at 25,200vph, has 36 jewels, and delivers 60 hours of power reserve. The caliber is also chronometer-certified by COSC, then Master Chronometer-certified by METAS. This guarantees an average accuracy of +0–5 seconds per day and magnetic resistance to more than 15,000 gauss.

The model also features a black ceramic bezel with a Liquidmetal™ diving scale. Additionally, the lumed 18K white gold hands and hour markers add a touch of luxury to a performance-driven timepiece. For €12,200, this is the ultimate mechanical diving tool on the market and less than Deepsea’s €13,500 price tag. There’s a hint of luxury, but the Ultra Deep’s connection to the Five Deeps Expedition and relation to the record-setting big brother makes it my winner in this match-up.

It’s up to you now

They are impressive dive replica watches online store with the spec sheet to match their looks and heft. But which will come out on top? Let’s bring this one to a close and let you cast your vote.

How The UK 1:1 Perfect Replica Omega Speedmaster Watches Beat NASA Torture Tests And Went To The Moon

In the late 1800s, celebrated French author Jules Verne published a pair of sci-fi novels predicting man’s journey to the Moon. They depicted a spacecraft being fired from a columbiad (a type of Civil War-era cannon) in Florida to the Moon, and subsequently splashing down in the Pacific Ocean.

A century later, on the morning of July 16, 1969, Verne’s premonition came true. The Apollo 11 spacecraft, whose command module was incidentally named Columbia, launched into orbit from the Kennedy Space Center in Brevard County, Florida. Just four days later, on July 20, 1969, it landed on the surface of the Moon. Inside, it carried four important crew members: Commander Neil Armstrong, Command Module Pilot Michael Collins, Lunar Module Pilot Buzz Aldrin, and last but not least, the AAA UK replica Omega Speedmaster mechanical chronograph watches.

Since that pivotal moment, the Speedy has become inextricably linked with the first lunar landing, even garnering the affectionate nickname “the Moonwatch.” 2022 marks the 53th anniversary of this history-making moment — the first man on the Moon and the first high quality fake watches on the Moon. Here, we’ll look briefly at the key steps that led Omega to become a part of the Apollo program, how the cheap Swiss Omega Speedmaster replica watches has evolved over the past five decades, and the role the iconic model continues to play in space travel today.

The Apollo Program

Over five decades after the first lunar landing, the Apollo Program continues to be considered one of the greatest technological achievements in history. Launched in 1963 with the mission to land humans on the Moon and bring them back to Earth safely, the Apollo Program was first conceived under the administration of President Dwight D. Eisenhower as a follow up to Project Mercury, which put the first Americans in space.

Funding for the program was later secured by President John F. Kennedy, whose campaign promised the U.S. would prevail in the global space race. While the first few Apollo missions didn’t achieve the goal of landing on the Moon, they set several major human spaceflight milestones: Apollos 7 and 9 were Earth-orbiting missions meant to test the Command and Lunar Modules, and Apollo 8 was the first crewed spacecraft to orbit a celestial body other than the Earth.

Apollo 8 also provided the first live televised photos of the Earth and Moon to roughly 50 million viewers around the country. This mission, along with Apollo 10, tested various spacecraft components and systems while orbiting the Moon and produced crucial images of the lunar surface. Still, the goal of the program wouldn’t be reached until the launch of Apollo 11 in 1969. But before the monumental first lunar landing could take place, NASA needed one other key piece of technology.

The NASA Watch Trials

A year after the launch of the Apollo Program, NASA started a search for a reliable timepiece to serve as the official best copy watches of the space program. They began the process by putting out a request for proposals from a select few brands: Elgin, Benrus, Hamilton, Mido, Lucien Piccard, Omega, Bulova, Rolex, Longines-Wittnauer and Gruen. Only four of the ten brands answered the call — Omega, Longines-Wittnauer, Rolex and Hamilton. However, Hamilton presented a pocket watch, and was thus disqualified for not complying with NASA’s specifications. The other top replica watches — the Rolex 6238 “pre-Daytona,” the Longines-Wittnauer 242T, and the Omega Speedmaster – were put through a rigorous series of tests. (Note: The 242T is the assumed reference that Longines-Wittnauer submitted, but this has yet to be confirmed.)

The NASA watch trials were essentially a torture program for the super clone watches for men in question. They began with extreme temperature testing to simulate the intense climate of the Moon, where temperatures range from minus 260 degrees Fahrenheit to over 260 degrees Fahrenheit. Next, they evaluated the luxury replica watches’ ability to withstand fluctuations in temperature and pressure to simulate additional changes in gravity. The watches were then put through another round of assessments to simulate changes in humidity and gravity. The next step was a shock test. Finally, this was followed by an acceleration test, decompression test and one last high-pressure test.

    “The NASA watch trials were essentially a torture program for the watches in question.”

Finally, on March 1, 1965, the results were in. The Rolex model stopped running on two occasions during the relative humidity test and failed one of the temperature tests. The Longines-Wittnauer also failed one of the temperature tests as well as the decompression test. Then, there was the wholesale fake Omega Speedmaster watches: It gained 21 minutes during the decompression test and lost 15 minutes during the acceleration tests. The luminous material on the dial was destroyed, but all in all, the Omega chronograph performed satisfactorily. It was unanimous — the Speedy won by a landslide. However, NASA suggested a few improvements and modifications: the addition of a 24-hour rotating bezel and luminous markings to the elapsed time dials.

The Speedy that Went to the Moon

By 1969, the China replica Omega Speedmaster watches had undergone a few additional revisions, and it’s here that we see the model start to take the shape of the beloved Speedy we know today. The new reference ST105.021 featured a more robust build with a thicker and larger 42mm case construction, crown guards and wider-set pushers, and is the model worn by Neil Armstrong on the Apollo 11 mission. (Michael Collins wore a different reference, the 145.012, which featured even larger and longer pushers.)

Both models housed the Omega Caliber 321 movement. Buzz Aldrin’s Speedmaster ST 105.012, which was the actual watch worn on the Moon (and thus the original and only true “Moonwatch”), was later stolen under mysterious circumstances under transit to the Smithsonian Museum in the early 1970s, and remains one of the greatest lost timepieces in history.

The Evolution of the Speedmaster after Apollo 11

The Speedmaster’s role in the space program didn’t end after the monumental Apollo 11 mission. The model went on to be used in each subsequent Apollo mission, including the last flight, Apollo 17, which marked the sixth lunar landing in 1972. Even after the Apollo program ended, Omega’s work with NASA and other space programs continued. Shortly after in 1978, NASA actually asked Omega for several Swiss movements fake watches for re-certification in preparation for the Space Shuttle program that launched in 1981.

This time, the Speedmaster was placed up against 30 other candidates. Though some may argue it had an unfair advantage over the competition because of its history with NASA, it earned its place as the official watch of the space program once again. More recently in 2012, a Speedmaster accompanied Russian cosmonaut Gennady Padalka — the current record holder for the most days spent in space (a whopping 879) — on a trip to the International Space Station. This replica watches for sale was later auctioned in 2017 for an impressive $39,458.48.

    “The Apollo missions may be space exploration history, but the story still resonates with people all over the world, and the fact that we played a role in that great adventure is invaluable for Omega as a brand.”

The Future of the Speedmaster in Space

In the decade before it became the Moonwatch, the Omega Speedmaster fake watches online site was without a doubt an incredible timepiece. Even the original “Broad Arrow” model introduced a groundbreaking feature — it was the first chronograph wristwatch to display a tachymeter scale on the bezel instead of the dial. Still, it’s challenging — maybe near impossible — to separate the Speedmaster, a watch originally conceived for motorsport — from the Apollo Program and the first lunar landing.

“The Apollo missions may be space exploration history, but the story still resonates with people all over the world, and the fact that we played a role in that great adventure is invaluable for OMEGA as a brand,” stated a representative from the brand. “At Omega, we possess a pioneering spirit, and the success of the Apollo 11 crew in 1969 continues to inspire us to be bold and take risks.”

Once the Moon had been reached, humanity’s relationship to the Speedmaster was forever changed. Without this history-making event, who knows what the model might have evolved into today. It’s safe to say that the legendary program and Moon landing have shaped the modern Speedmaster into the replica watches shop we know and love.

With the renewed interest in space travel in the past several years, Swiss made Omega fake watches’ work with NASA and other space programs is more important than ever before. They currently have their sights set on the proposed mission to Mars set for the 2030s. Even Buzz Aldrin remains involved with the work between NASA and Omega — the legendary astronaut is rumored to be part of the design process of a “Mars Watch” for Omega, which is, of course, speculated to be a variation of the Speedmaster. However, in the not-so-distant future, NASA and Omega are looking to return to the moon once again, possibly by 2024. Of course, if and when they do so, “the Speedmaster will certainly be a part of the mission kit,” says Omega. “It is, after all, the original ‘Moonwatch.’”
