![]() ![]() It does make the watch feel a bit top heavy at first, especially on the light-weight rubber strap. It measures 17.8mm in height and that is a lot. Not only the diameter is impressive, the watch is also rather thick. The black rubber strap fits like a glove and is comfortable from the first moment when you slide the watch on to your wrist. Normally, my watches are a tad bit smaller. With a diameter of 45.5mm it fits my fairly large wrists perfectly, but I did need a few days to get used to this size. It even looks good when it is surrounded by “stroopwafels” and Chocotoffs. In the end, even though I appreciate Omega’s innovating character a lot, it is about emotion and how you (and I) feel about the watch. Most important is that the watch is anti-magnetic up to 15,000 gauss and accurate with a daily average between 0 – +5 seconds a day.īut let’s not make this review a summary of technical details. I could go on explaining about the METAS certified Master Chronometer movement and its specifications, but I’ve done that a couple of times already ( click here for an overview of the Master Chronometer standards). Another interesting technical detail is the Naiad technology for the caseback, so the engraving is perfectly positioned. The red and blue version have a bezel where ceramic and rubber elements are blended into one piece. Not only does it have a ceramic case, cut-out of one block, it also features a ceramic bezel, in-house developed caliber 8906 movement and a water resistance of 60 bar (~ 600 meters). The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Deep Black is packed with innovations. The Sedna gold version is something I fancy as well, but gives it less of a ‘tool watch’ appearance. My personal preference would be the all-black Deep Black, as I am afraid I might get fed up with the red and blue accents at some point. I chose the all-black version of the watch to try, even though I also like the red, blue and Sedna models. I assume most buyers of a Seamaster watch are ‘desk divers’, but I could be wrong of course.īeing a deskdiver, I still wanted to give the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Deep Black a try. DeskdiverĮven though I am not a diver, not even a gifted swimmer, I like the appearance of a divers watch. But somehow another Speedmaster crossed my path that I just needed to have. I’ve once came very close in buying the Goodplanet GMT version of the Planet Ocean, as its size was perfect for me (43.5mm) and I simply liked the Goodplanet project. But I concentrate mainly on their Speedmasters for my personal collection. Not that I don’t like the Seamaster Planet Ocean, in fact, I do. Available with red, blue and Sedna gold accents, as well as a full “Deep Black” version, the watch that I’ve been wearing for a couple of weeks.Īlthough I have a couple of Seamaster watches in my own collection (vintage and a 1990s Seamaster Professional Chronograph 300M Diver in titanium), I never was able to pull the trigger on a Planet Ocean myself. The success of the Speedmaster Dark Side of the Moon doesn’t need much explanation, and it was only a logical step that the use of this material would also be applied to the Seamaster Planet Ocean. A full ceramic version of their Planet Ocean diver collection. Just a few months after BaselWorld, Omega introduced the Seamaster Planet Ocean Deep Black. I was able to wear one for a few weeks, and here are my thoughts about it. Last year in June, Omega suddenly dropped the ceramic bomb on the Seamaster Planet Ocean like they did on the Speedmaster 9300 series and called it “Deep Black”. Other improvements were the use of ceramic for the uni-directional diving bezel. A fact you should know is that in 2007, the models were slowly upgraded to Omega’s in-house calibers (8500 and later on, in 2011, 9300). In this article we already gave you some background on the Seamaster and Planet Ocean in particular. The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean collection is over 10 years old. ![]()
