Omega's history of developing waterproof watches is quite advanced in the watch world. For example, they launched the Marine waterproof watch with a double case back in 1932. Under the circumstances that most watches were almost not waterproof at that time, this Marine had been tested. Whether it is in a depth of 73 meters or 135 meters, it can ensure that the watch will not be damaged by water ingress.
In 2005 Semaster Planet Ocean pushed the waterproof performance to a high level of 600 meters. Reponetoone 1:1 Omega Semaster clone watches online, all replica watches are high quality.
The popular diving watches of the Semaster series including Planet Ocean 600 meters and Semaster Diver 300 meters are so popular in the market. In addition to their long history and reputation, their specifications and performance are the key factors behind them. , So what are the indispensable elements of a Semaster diving watch? The following characteristics can usually be found on them:
★ Waterproof
Omega will test the water resistance of diving watches according to international standards. Each diving watch will increase the waterproof capacity on the books by 25% as a clearance standard when testing. For example, the waterproof performance of a seahorse diving watch is 300 meters, so the actual It must be waterproof to 375 meters to pass the test. According to Omega's increasingly popular master observatory certification movement testing standards, as long as watches equipped with such high-caliber movements must ensure that the internal structure of the case will not seep before they can be launched on the market.
★ Helium exhaust valve
For professional waterproof watches, the setting of the helium exhaust valve is necessary, because when the diver dives to a certain depth, the gas in the diving cabin will penetrate into the watch, if not in the process of returning to the water, the gas will be discharged in a timely manner Then, the watch may be exploded due to the accumulation of too much gas. Therefore, the series of watches such as Planet Ocean 600 meters and Hippocampus diving 300 meters are equipped with a helium exhaust valve device to ensure the safety of the watch.
★ Unidirectional rotating bezel
Divers can calculate the time they stay underwater by rotating the bezel, and the one-way design can ensure that even if they accidentally touch the bezel during the dive, the underwater stay time will only be advanced and not delayed. Life threatening.
★ Luminous coating hour scales, scales and hands
The underwater environment is not comparable to land, as the depth of the dive is deeper, the visibility is also worse. At this time, if the watch is not coated with luminous coating, then wearing it is equivalent to wearing white, so the seamaster series diving watch is usually on the time scale, scale and These hands will be filled with luminous coating, even in a dark environment, the watch can still play the role of displaying time.
★ Metal chain extension device
The diver will wear the diving watch outside the diving suit. At this time, the length of the watch chain and the length when directly worn on the hand must be adjusted. Omega will configure the seahorse diving watch with an adjustable device that can be extended or contracted to ensure the watch Can be firmly attached to the hand.
★ Waterproof press handle
There are some chronograph styles in the seahorse diving watch. In order to allow the chronograph function to operate as usual under water, Omega has also made corresponding designs for the internal and external structure of the watch. Even if the diver wants to operate the chronograph function underwater, It will cause water inside the watch due to pressing the handle.
★ Antimagnetic
The concept of diving watch needs anti-magnetic. At first glance, it jumps a bit tone, but think about it. Divers actually have the opportunity to contact some electronic devices on land, water or boat. There may be electromagnetic effects inside. If the watch is exposed at close range for a long time In the magnetic environment, it is likely to cause the watch to have a timing error, so this time to improve the anti-magnetic ability of the watch is also one of the elements of the seahorse diving watch.
★ Anti-vibration & anti-wear
When diving into the water, it is inevitable that you will have contact with the surrounding environment. At this time, the watch may be rubbed, hit the reef or other objects in the water, so the watch must also have excellent earthquake resistance and wear resistance in the water, such as Now the hippocampus diving watch will be equipped with silicon hairspring to strengthen the seismic resistance and ceramic ring to improve the external wear resistance of the watch.
