Victor Vescovo drove the DSV(Deep Submergence Vehicle)Limiting Factor, the world’s deepest bathyscaphe to achieve the deepest part of the earth. While the black dial copy Omega Seamaster was on that bathyscaphe, becoming the timepiece which could dive to the deepest part of the earth, breaking through the record of Rolex.
You may be surprised of that who was the previous record holder? The glory was achieved by Captain Jacques Picard and Don Walsh who drove the Trieste to achieve the depth of 10,916 meters and Deep Sea Special of Rolex accompanied them, operating well after returning to the land.
The perfect Omega imitation watch was made of the titanium, which is the same material of the body of underwater vehicle “DSV Limiting Factor”. Since it should offer resistance to the high pressure under the water, the case of the timepiece is really thick.
