Poole Harbour is a large natural harbour in Dorset, southern England, with the town of Poole on its shores. The harbour is a drowned valley (ria) formed at the end of the last ice age and is the estuary of several rivers, the largest being the Frome. The harbour has a long history of human settlement stretching to pre-Roman times. The harbour is extremely shallow (average depth: 48 cm), with one main dredged channel through the harbour, from the mouth to Holes Bay.^[1]

Poole Harbour has an area of approximately 36 square kilometres (14 sq mi)^[2] and is claimed to be the largest natural harbour in Europe. Contrary to some claims it is not the largest natural harbour in the world, New Zealand's 947 km² (366 sq mi) Kaipara Harbour and San Francisco Bay in California with a conservative estimate of 1,040 km² (400 sq mi) covered are significantly larger.

The link white dial model became a cult hit and an Instagram darling. It was just written up by the esteemed Jason Heaton and our own Cole Pennington reviewed it for A link Week on link the Wrist. But for the most part everyone thought that was it for that collection. We wouldn't see anything new out of the Diver 300m line unless Omega made drastic changes to the watch or released a new reference. How wrong we were.
