Sherpa OPS

Redefining the military-style compressor dive watch

The Sherpa OPS is the rebirth of a model favored by several naval forces in the 1960s. With its satin-finish, dark anthracite case and clean military look, it combines historical tool watch DNA with modern craftsmanship and high everyday usability.

The elegantly domed sapphire crystal is anti-reflective on the inside and enhances the slim profile on the wrist. This makes the OPS suitable for virtually any situation – from the depths of the ocean to the desk. With a diameter of 40 mm and a height of 13.5 mm, it strikes a size that remains versatile and feels exceptionally balanced on the wrist.

The watch is water-resistant to 20 bar (approximately 200 m) and certified according to ISO 6425. Inside, it features the Swiss Mantramatic MM01 movement, based on the Sellita SW200-1 in a premium finish.

Mantramatic
The world's first watch with "good vibes"

Sherpa Watches has adopted the craftsmanship and high-quality technology of the Swiss pioneers. Every effort has been made to bring the concepts and techniques from the golden age of watchmaking into the present day.

The timeless designs of the Ultradive and the OPS required no major refinements, as their look and feel are just as distinctive today as they were half a century ago. On a technical level, the watches surpass their predecessors in terms of accuracy, water resistance, and durability. As a world first, a hidden gem with tiny proportions and a big impact has also been added.

The mechanical movement of the Ultradive and the OPS is not a typical automatic. It is a Mantramatic. A traditional Tibetan Buddhist mantra, OM MANI PEME HUNG, widely used in the Sherpa region, was laser-engraved microscopically onto two gears using a specially developed Tibetan script.
In keeping with the Buddhist tradition of prayer wheels in the Himalayas, the gears in this clockwork mechanism are continuously rotating to spread love, wisdom, and compassion directly from the wrist to the world – 30 million mantras per year. The mantra cannot be seen with the naked eye, but you will feel it.
