After 3 years of daily wear and two seasons in Antarctica, my Seiko Arnie is still going strong

That trumps any gearstick/steering wheel shot…

What do you do in Antarctica? Scientist?

The reason for no HEV.

There wasn’t even a need for a helium escape valve. How is this possible? Well, by using a sapphire crystal created via the “Edge-Defined Film-fed Growth” (EFG) process.



A unique kind of sapphire crystal produced only by Omega, EFG ensures the resulting sapphire crystal is deprived of all imperfections that could cause fragility in the material when exposed to extreme pressures. The sapphire crystal is then formed into a shape that guarantees extreme pressure resistance and allows the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Ultra Deep to be a tool watch fit for saturation diving.



And so, due to these technical innovations, a helium escape valve is not necessary. Plus, the anti-reflective coating is applied to both sides of the crystal, ensuring the watch is readable, whatever the conditions.

Thanks for the info. Very interesting & impressive watch.

You should do a write up of that if you have the time. Cool picture, cool watch.

Discreet wristwear in Mumbai.



Quite outclassed by Antarctica though!

A little Christmas treat. The photo doesn't give the red gold justice though.

Cheapo Amazon NATO today. Very stiff nylon. Not a keeper.

[aussieal]

New daily for me today, very happy with it.

Bit of a classic today, a 50's mechanical AVIA, gets many interesting compliments.

No wrist shot, took these before I put it on.

Something safe for the London Underground. I did see a group of 3 up to no good. Clocking watches as they walked up the carriage. They saw my Bulova but I guess it's not their target level...
