Sherpa x TRTS OPS
Sherpa x TRTS OPS
The Sherpa Ultradive is a compressor-driven dive watch for those who love vintage design but don't want to compromise on modern quality and everyday practicality. Inspired by the legendary Sherpa models of the 1960s, it combines a clearly recognizable historical design language with a craftsmanship that feels noticeably high-quality on the wrist. At 40 mm in diameter, the Ultradive is just the right size for a sporty watch that doesn't appear too bulky, even for everyday wear. Typical of compressor watches are the two crowns , the internal diver's bezel , and the distinctive case with its unique technical construction. Details such as the domed dial , the applied, faceted indices , and the characteristic "double lollipop" seconds hand further enhance its appeal – all elements that give the watch an elegant presence without losing its tool-watch DNA. The result is a watch that doesn't try to be "modern" but rather exudes timelessness : sporty, distinctive, and with a look you won't see in every other display case.
In collaboration with TRTS (The Real Time Show) , a weekly insider podcast about watches, Sherpa is also releasing a new version of its OPS model . It features a simple, satin-finished stainless steel case , which lends the watch a remarkably balanced character: In some light, it appears as the robust tool it clearly is, thanks to its technology and build quality; in other light, it displays a refined, almost ethereal quality, created by the subtle interplay of light on the satin-finished metal surfaces and the sapphire crystal. This new satin finish noticeably alters the style of the watch, offering something truly new visually, while the other specifications remain unchanged. The TRTS collaboration is deliberately understated and commemorated as a fine engraving on the case back – on the breastplate of the diver's helmet.

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.
