    Analyzing the New Rolex Deepsea Challenge
    So a surprised release from Rolex once again but now they are throwing in everything they have in a professional dive watch. This 126067 reference is massive but how does it stack up to Omega’s Deepest offering the Ultra Deep.

    I think they attacked omega just making this thing bigger and more water resistant, but they don't realize how awful this thing is. I think the ultra deep is at least wearable instead of this monster watch.

    • @DesignAtelier
      @DesignAtelier  Рік тому +2

      I think that is partly true but highly unlikely. It takes a lot of time to develop the tech to make the deep sea challenge. Not to mention the comex test chamber. But I do think they know that omega is coming up with the ultra deep long before it came out.

      After several visits to AD's I actually think the Ultra Deep is already too large to wear really. The James Cameron is my limit. And I don't mind the corporate competition of over-engineering dive watches, competition leads to better products and prices... besides anything over 100M is, by that standard, pretentious already. :)

    136660 was updated at w&w actually. differences are:
    Slimer bezel
    Different crystal, more angular to accentuate the dome effect
    No more secret crown (flip lock extension has been discontinued)

    I'd say the H2O Kalmar is a much better depth statement option, rated for 25,000m. And less than $2500, so, less than a tenth of the price with more than double the WR. Also is Grade 5 titanium, although only an ETA 2892 inside. A decent alternative for the budget-minded crowd, perhaps.

    Apparently they worked with COMEX to make a pressure tank strong enough to test this watch to 25% deeper than 11,000Ms. The R&D cost must've been a lot and how they would (partially) justify the price.

    I tried the old deep sea, it was to heavy when I put my arm down it hit against my hand. Overtime that hurt. For me it was a pretty small dial for such a giant watch, so the 50mm would be good for my wrist. I had a Breitling in titaninium, the wristband feels cheap, because u r used that it’s heavier. I don’t want another Rolex, and I also wouldn’t get one, but I would prefer it over the omega. Both watches r not interesting, but the Rolex is at least the biggest Rolex, what makes it stand out.

    "ORIGINAL GAS ESCAPE VALVE" and "RING LOCK SYSTEM" looks a bit tacky. Perhaps even unnecessary. I would have preferred a blank lock system ring; or even a colored one. What if the lock system ring was made out of some exotic material or maybe even meteorite? Other than that, it's a pretty sweet watch.
