Omega has just shown the world the newest Seamaster Planet Ocean – The “Deep Black”. While most dark black divers are made out of steel that has been PVD coated, the Deep Black’s case is crafted out of a single block of black ceramic, making this a unique diver indeed.

‘Deep Black’ refers not only to the color, but also the depths (600m WR, deep by any measure) the watch is rated to handle. From what I understand it’s quite an engineering challenge to get ceramics to withstand such pressures, and believe this is a first for any dive watch manufacturer (please correct me if I’m wrong).

The Deep Black is the Planet Ocean take on the Speedmaster ‘Dark Side of The Moon’ ceramic, which was revealed last year.

Four new models of the Seamaster Planet Ocean were revealed:
