Oceaneva’s latest Deep Marine Explorer VI takes the ultra-deep dive watch into more travel-minded territory.
The new WorldTime 6000m Automatic pairs a serious 600 bar depth rating with a GMT and city-ring layout, creating a diver that’s built as much for changing time zones as it is for hostile underwater pressure.
It’s a bold mix, but there’s a certain logic to it if your idea of a tool watch involves dive sites, airports and a home-time hand that stays useful long after the wetsuit comes off.
At a glance
- Oceaneva has introduced the Deep Marine Explorer VI WorldTime 6000m Automatic in Grade 5 titanium.
- The watch combines a 6000m diver case with a world time dial, GMT hand and Miyota 9075 true GMT movement.
- Ten colourways are planned, each limited to 50 pieces, with pre-sale pricing listed at £640.
A world time dial inside an extreme diver
The central idea is simple and unusual, placing a world time display into a watch engineered for saturation-level depth capability.
At the centre of the dial is an atlas-style motif, framed by a 24-hour scale that works with the GMT hand to track a second time zone.
A peripheral ring lists 24 major cities, allowing the wearer to read time across global zones without turning the watch into a conventional dress-worldtimer.
Some versions use a two-tone 24-hour scale to separate day and night, while others keep the scale monochrome for a more stripped-back instrument feel.
The result is still unmistakably a large dive watch, but the dial adds a layer of daily practicality that’s often missing from extreme-depth pieces.
Grade 5 titanium keeps the size wearable
The Deep Marine Explorer VI WorldTime uses a 44mm case with a substantial 19.4mm thickness, dimensions that suit its 6000m water resistance rather than hide it.
Grade 5 titanium is the material choice here, giving the case strength while helping keep weight under control on the wrist.
A 120-click dive bezel gives the watch the expected timing function for aquatic use, while the FKM rubber strap and titanium buckle keep the build aligned with its tool-watch brief.
Inside is the Miyota calibre 9075 automatic GMT, a 4 Hz movement with a 42-hour power reserve.
Its key appeal is the true GMT architecture, which lets the local hour hand jump in one-hour increments without stopping the watch or disturbing the rest of the time display.
Ten colourways with limited runs
Oceaneva is launching the model in 10 versions, covering black, green, white, blue and light blue dial treatments.
The collection includes four standard models with day-night 24-hour scales, two standard models with monochrome GMT scales and four full-lume Grade A Super-LumiNova versions split between those two scale styles.
Each colourway is limited to 50 pieces, giving the launch a compact production footprint despite the breadth of dial options.
Pricing is listed at £2,933, with pre-sale pricing at £640, positioning the watch aggressively for a titanium automatic GMT with this level of claimed water resistance.
