For the first time, all Omega Planet Ocean watches have become master chronometers in the new Seamaster Planet Ocean collection. This means they have all passed the rigorous new testing standards set down by the independent Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS).
The collection features watches in new sizes, thinner cases, innovative bezels, fresh designs and exciting materials, including 18K Sedna™ gold, Liquidmetal®, rubber and ceramic. Of all the timepieces in this collection, the stand out one is the Seamaster Planet Ocean 43.5mm Auto timepiece with a striking uni-directional rotating diving bezel. For the first time, rubber has been blended with ceramic, with orange rubber covering the first 15 minutes.
Liquidmetal® numbers and scales have then been used to stand out boldly for the diving and minute scales. The black ceramic dial includes new applied Arabic numerals, and if you turn the watch over, a stunning alveol pattern on the case-back creates a special wave effect. Completing the look of the stainless steel watch is the black leather strap with a black and orange rubber underside. But there’s true beauty inside too. The Master Chronometer 8900 provides the ultimate beating heart.
This timepiece features another first for Planet Ocean – the worlds premiere polished bi-ceramic [ZrO2] black and white bezel ring. On the stainless steel case, the bi-directional rotating bezel separates night from day, with numerals and scaling in contrasting colors. If the color of night wins out on the black ceramic dial, the numbers and scales shine through. Further brightness is provided by the dot at 12 o’clock in white Super-LumiNova.
The black leather strap with rubber lining is held fast with a fold-over clasp in stainless steel. Both night and day, the watch keeps perfect timing thanks to its revolutionary movement: the Master Chronometer 8906.
