Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean

Omega’s Seamaster line, introduced in 1948, which also includes the Aqua Terra and the Seamaster Diver 300, has long become legendary among sailors, divers, and watch enthusiasts. In 2005, Omega launched the most recent offshoot of this popular collection: The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean. This wristwatch continues the company’s tradition of dive watches through the combination of modern technology and contemporary design.

Although the line is pretty new, the Planet Ocean can already be considered a modern classic. The watch is brimming with technical finesse: It is watertight up to 600 metres, is equipped with an ingenious helium release valve, and its Omega movement features a patented co-axial escapement. The sealable helium valve at the 10 o’clock marker fulfils a vital role by allowing helium atoms to escape from the case during a saturation dive – not to mention that it also makes for a very distinctive visual characteristic.

The cases of newer models are also equipped with a transparent sapphire crystal bottom: a feature that is very unusual for a dive watch, which makes it all the more stunning nonetheless. The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean is a robust watch with an assured sense of style. The line offers an immense selection of sizes, wristbands, colours, materials, and additional features. The only parts of the Planet Ocean that remain forever unchangeable are the characteristic arrow-shaped hands. While the pervasive sense of sportive elegance remains constant for every style, it is due to the diversification of the line that both ladies and gentlemen can find the perfect Planet Ocean model for every occasion.
