This Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean has really won me over

Ойын-сауық

Rolex fan girl is reviewing another Omega here. I'm so sorry to all my fellow Rolex lovers, but we have a lot of Omegas here at Gringa HQ ;) And I am slowly being won over to the Omega way of life ;)
TODAY we are looking at the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean, a watch that I think is even better than the classic Seamaster Professional 300. 600m water resistance, awesome looking watch, I'd argue it's one of the best go anywhere do anything watches. Just a fantastic all rounder that doesn't get the love it deserves!

    I love seeing her so excited over Omega. I thought the day would never come! I’m wearing my SMP 300m with the white “great white” dial right now, on the rubber strap. I love the bracelet too though. It did take a minute for me to warm up to but trying it in person is completely different from seeing it online. I almost bought the PO but it was thick on the wrist and I have a 7 1/2 inch wrist. Maybe I needed to try the 42mm instead of the 39.5mm. Great video! Keep Omega coming!

    I bought a pristine example of this watch a couple years ago as a gift for my son, and it’s just beautiful. He’s an aspiring watch nut, and I can’t think of a better all-around watch for a young person to take along on any of life’s adventures. The later Planet Ocean just became huge and heavy, and while I did own a newer PO chronometer model, I ended up selling it because even though I’m a bigger guy at 6’2” and 215lbs with an almost 8” wrist, it felt cartoonishly giant wearing it

  • @threefive2072

    one of the most important things to note about this sizing is the bezel diameter is 40mm. the 42mm measurement accounts for the assymetrical case, which is somewhat akin to measuring the width of the case at the crown guards. i'm suprised by how little this is dicussed, actually!

    I'd love to hear your thoughts on the seamaster 120 (the last gen ones!) They were phased out when the aqua terra was launched... but I think they are a watch that is slept on too! The dial is the main party piece and the smaller size, and lack of dive bezel makes it look like a dressed up smp300! Also it being the last gen seamaster 120 resonates with me when thinking about the history of Omega! Comparing the last gen 120 to a first gen aqua terra might be a cool video! Anyhow keep up the great work!

The bezel fades with time (I’ve had it 10 years now), which makes it look even better. Have the rubber strap, which is of good quality, but had to replace that after 8 years.

    Thank you for this video, I like your enthusiasm. I bought the 45.5 mm orange bezel version of this watch in February 2008, the UK was in recession at the time. I saw this Omega in two different jewellers in my town. The first jeweller had it in the front widow priced at £2000.00 I went in and asked to look at it and the lady assistant fetched it from the window and handed it to me. once I'd handled it I knew I wanted it. LOL I asked for a 20% discount but she would only give me 15% so I said I'd think about it and left. One week later I went into the other jewellers and asked for a 20% discount but they also would only go to 15% so I left and went back to the jewellers I'd visited the previous week. This time the assistant was a man, I asked to see the watch and said to him that if he were to give me a 20% discount I'd purchase the watch there and then. He went out the back and phoned his area manager then came back to me and gave me the 20% discount.

    My all-time favorite dive watch, and probably my favorite watch of all time. I had a first-gen Planet Ocean with the 2500C movement in the huge 45.5 mm XL case and while my 7-1/4 inch (185 mm) wrist was barely big enough to support it, the weight on the bracelet was a bone-wearying 231 grams. It was tiring to wear it for more than a few hours. In addition, the movement in my watch was unreliable (four watchmakers worked on it in the course of a year, including Omega twice) so I sold it for an 8500-series second-gen Planet Ocean with a 42 mm case. Much better, reliability-wise and less overall weight. I still would love to see Omega return to the design aesthetic of the first-gen watches though, as they have a timeless charm that the 8500 and 8900 watches don't quite have. Prices for used Planet Oceans have been steadily increasing, so if I want to get another 2500-series watch, now is probably the time to do it.

    I've worn this reference Planet Ocean daily for 10 years (or longer, I don' actually remember when I got it) until I got my Speedmaster in Jan of 2021. I still love the PO, but the Speedmaster gets the most wrist time these days. Thinner, lighter, and the bracelet is fantastic. The PO is a CHUNK of metal.

    I've had one since 2010. It's just rock solid. Took it in for service for the first time earlier this year, and I didn't even realise it was that old already. It is my do-all watch. I never take it off. I wear it for gardening, diving, welding, digging,... it's just so incredibly unbeatable. I have fancier watches, but if you want a one-watch collection, this has to be on your wish list.

    Always wanted an orange bezel one. That was my grail watch when they first came out. Wish I'd got one a few years back, because they have gone up a lot recently. The original ones were like 45mm very chunky pieces. I've got big wrists so could pull it off, but I think I'd go for the 42mm version for more comfort. Just recently purchased a black bay s and g in 41mm, and that's a chunky monkey, so I think a 42mm would be enough. Got a seiko sla043 in 39.5mm , and that's a tad small although I love it . One day I will buy one, just hate paying more for an old model , than it cost new !!! Nearly bought a Kermit submariner about 20 years ago, was discounted too, at 2.5k , but didn't because the wife went mad about me putting it on the credit card. Obviously I got rid of the wife, but I should have got that watch, lol.

    The 42 mm PO pre ceramic & 42 mm ceramic PO hit a sweet spot in terms of size for Omega. It’s a pity they removed this size from the brilliant PO line. 39.5 and 43.6 are fine…it’s just that the 42 is brilliant.

    right?! It's such a shame it's not available in the 42mm anymore... Especially as that is the sweet spot for sooo many people! With the short lug-to-lug the 43 is still really wearable! But there's something about 42mm that is universally wearable!

    Alright me Babber; you're bang on with this vid Ms P! The OG Planet Ocean with the 2500 movement are thinner than the more recent 8500 movements and as a result are brilliant everyday options. The Grail is the transition Planet Ocean Liquid Metal Limited Edition > there were only 1948 produced and have the same case as the first edition but with applied numerals and ceramic bezel. compare the OG with the LMLE and you can see the evolution beautifully. Laters....

    To me the OSMPO is the hidden treasure from Omega. Old models sporting the cal 8500 are just nice, specially this one, but there are smaller variants ( you should try the 37 mm ). Even in the modern catalogue I thing apart from the SMP the 39.5mm planet ocean is almost perfect ( would love to see a thinner version of it even if it doesn’t come with the 600m wr).

    Got a 2021 Planet Ocean. Checked out a Speedmaster, an SMP300 and that PO, and immediately went for the PO. Even though 43.5mm sounds like alot for a 172mm wrist, but it isn't. Omega really made the case feel smaller than it is, at least Lug2Lug wise. And it had much nicer hands than the SMP300. Can't warm up to them. If i ever buy an SMP300, it'll be a white one. Since the Hands are not as disruptive, than on a dark dial.

    Ahh... this is the watch I need! Thanks! I picked up a pre-owned Planet Ocean with the orange bezel from a local AD in 2007 for a bargain price of £1200. It was my first real 'fancy' watch and gave me the watch buying bug. Since then I've bought a Seamaster Professional and a half-a-dozen other watches, but none of them feel as good as the Planet Ocean. The problem is the orange bezel is a little too "showey" to use all the time. I really want a black bezel watch and was contemplating a Tudor, but now I realise I just need to get another Planet Ocean. I don't know why I didn't think of it.
