From top to bottom, Rolex has a black ghost, Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 8900, Blancpain 50 Fatty Bathyscaphe.
Submariner, Seamaster, and 50 Fathoms are the world’s earliest professional diving watches.
Rolex Submariner, Omega Seamaster, and Blancpain 50 Fathoms are the world’s three most famous luxury professional diving watches. All three watches were born in the 1950s. The Rolex Submariner and Blancpain 50 Fathoms were launched in 1953, and the Omega Seamaster diving watch was launched in 1957. The unique thing about Omega Seamaster is that the Seamaster series was born as early as 1948. Still, the early Seamaster was a waterproof formal watch, and the professional diving version, Seamaster 300, was launched in 1957.

The three types of diving watches, Submariner, Seamaster, and 50 Fathoms, have been around since their birth and have continued to this day. The three watches have undergone various evolutions in the middle, and all have civilian and military versions. Although today, due to the different business strategies of Rolex, Omega, and Blancpain, Blancpain’s current brand positioning is higher than that of Rolex and Omega, Submariner, Seamaster, and 50 Fathoms, these three types of diving fake watches have historically been The results achieved above are all equal.
Now, the styles of the three watches are entirely different.
Submariner, Seamaster, and 50 Fathoms are all tool watches, three types of luxury diving watches. However, the styles of the three watches are entirely different now.

The Blancpain 50 Fatty Bathyscaphe looks like a very low-key diving watch, but the 50 Fatty Bathyscaphe is deliberately low-key and very luxurious. The 50 Fatty Bathyscaphe is relatively sophisticated, from the design to the quality of the watch. In comparison, the Rolex Submariner looks more rugged. The 50 Fatty Bathyscaphe movement has a transparent bottom and a black-plated 18K gold rotor that neither Submariner nor Seamaster has. The 50 Fatty Bathyscaphe has a narrower bezel and a minor luminous part of the K gold hour markers, and it even tends to have a formal watch style. Therefore, the 50 Fatty Bathyscaphe almost only uses canvas straps and rubber straps (only the steel case version has an optional steel chain). The 50 Fatty Bathyscaphe has a less tool-like feel and a stronger sense of luxury. Rolex replica watches.

The Rolex Submariner is the most standard diving watch in the world and the most perfect. All aspects have reached the best balance, with a moderate size of 40 mm, exemplary watch configuration, accurate travel time, and a certain sense of luxury. Rolex Submariner does not deliberately highlight the characteristics of a particular aspect, and every element is comprehensive. Compared to the 50 Fathoms and Seamaster, the Rolex Submariner has nothing fancy or unique. Still, at the same time, it has absolutely no shortcomings and is the benchmark for professional diving watches. From the birth of the Rolex Submariner to the present, in more than 60 years, the overall appearance has stayed the same except for the details. There are no modifications, which illustrates the perfection of the Submariner.

The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 8900 is a professional diving watch with robust, comprehensive capabilities. The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 8900 has achieved the “extreme” level in its price range in all aspects. In other words, the Haima Planet Ocean 8900 is not only the best diving watch in the same price range, but its overall strength can surpass more expensive diving watches. Omega’s technical level is the strongest among the significant mainstream watch brands. Haima Planet Ocean 8900 achieves large size, 600-meter waterproof, transparent bottom, movement decoration, 15,000 Gauss antimagnetic, luxury, and fashion sense (color circle color mark). At the same time, the waterproof and antimagnetic index is the highest among the three watches. Compared with the Submariner, the Omega Planet Ocean 8900 is more extensive, has more robust performance, and has more prominent features.

The technical configuration of the three watches is also different.
Among the three diving watches, Submariner, Seamaster, and 50 Fathoms, the Blancpain 50 Fatty Bathyscaphe has the highest overall configuration. The Blancpain 50 Fatty Bathyscaphe uses a liquid metal ceramic bezel, and the scale on the bezel is made of liquid metal. The 1315 self-winding movement in the Blancpain 50 Fatty Bathyscaphe is the most highly configured movement among the three diving watches. The 1315 movement has 120 hours of power (5 days of energy), uses a black-plated 18K gold automatic rotor and a silicon hairspring, and is carefully polished and decorated. Blancpain 50 Fatty Bathyscaphe has an absolute advantage from movement performance to decoration. This is also unmatched by other diving watches.

Because Omega and Blancpain are from the same group, they use some of the same technologies. The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 8900 also uses a liquid metal ceramic bezel. Still, Omega uses colored rubber injection technology in 1/4 of the bezel, so the colored bezel of the Seamaster Planet Ocean 8900 is more complicated than the Blancpain 50 Fatty Bathyscaphe. The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 8900 uses Omega’s new 8900 coaxial movement, which is characterized by 15,000 Gauss antimagnetic, dual certification of the observatory and 15,000 Gauss antimagnetic travel time, silicon hairspring, and 60 hours of power. 15000 ultra-high antimagnetic resistance is Omega’s absolute advantage. The decoration style is Omega’s unique Arabic Geneva stripes, and the decorative Geneva stripes are divergent. Because Omega and Blancpain are from the same company, in order not to interfere with Blancpain, which has a higher positioning, Omega uses a steel rotor. Like the Submariner, the Seamaster Planet Ocean 8900 clasp can also quickly change in length.

Rolex has been gradually replacing the new generation 70-hour power 3235 movement in recent years. Because it has yet to be the turn of the Submariner, the Submariner currently using the 3135 movement is weaker than the 50 Fatty Bathyscaphe and the Submariner in terms of movement configuration. Haima Planet Ocean 8900. Compared with the new generation movement, the shortcoming of the 3135 movement is that the power is shorter. The power of the 3135 movement is 48 hours. But what is very relaxed about Rolex is that whether it is the 3135 or the new 3235 movement, the travel time standard is the same, the Rolex Super Observatory standard of +2/-2 per day. The daily travel time standard of +2/-2 is the highest of all mass-produced watches, exceeding Patek Philippe’s +2/-3 standard. Rolex is unrivaled in this regard. But Rolex has always been opaque, unlike the 50 Fathoms and Seamaster, where you can see the movement. In addition, the ceramic bezel used by Rolex Submariner is platinum-sprayed, different from the 50-Fatty Bathyscaphe and Seamaster Planet Ocean. The clasp of the Rolex Submariner can be quickly lengthened or shortened.

The prices of the three watches are also different.
Among the three prominent diving watches are Submariner, Seamaster, and 50 Fathoms. Because Blancpain’s brand positioning is higher, the 50 Fatty Bathyscaphe has the highest public price. The steel case 50 Fatty Sacaphe has a public price of RMB79,500, and the ceramic case has a public price of RMB98,000 (the titanium case has been discontinued, and the public price is RMB87,500). The public price of the Rolex black dial is RMB65900. The public price of Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean is RMB46900.

The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean is the most cost-effective among the three prominent diving watches. The Seamaster Planet Ocean watch allows us to spend less but gain more. The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean has achieved the ultimate level in its price range. The Blancpain 50 Fatty Bathyscaphe is a diving watch more inclined to fine craftsmanship. It pays more attention to the luxurious configuration and polished decoration of the movement, so it is less rough and more refined, which aligns with Blancpain’s higher positioning. Likewise, Blancpain 50 Fathoms Bathyscaphe is easy to buy, and the final price is reasonable. Rolex Submariner is the benchmark for diving watches. It is an excellent diving watch in all aspects. Low-key, restrained, and without any shortcomings are the most significant advantages of the water ghost. So this also means that the water ghost does not have some particularly outstanding characteristics like the 50 Fatty and the seahorse. Because Rolex controls the supply, Submariner requires more effort to buy than 50 Fathoms and Seamaster, and the price is relatively high.

The three watches of Submariner, Seamaster, and 50 Fathoms show that Rolex, Omega, and Blancpain have different watchmaking ideas. The current popularity of Submariner is mainly caused by Rolex’s limited supply and marketing strategy. From the perspective of the watch itself, Submariner, Seamaster, and 50 Fatty Bathyscaphe have their strengths. In addition, the Blancpain 50 Fathom suitcase-like watch box is very cool. After all, Blancpain has a high public price. Omega’s watch box is well made and is more stylish than the watch boxes of other brands of watches of the same level.
