1:23 in the video - have to be Planet Oceans, 600m WR, same bezel style, same hands, just a blue variant. From the banner at 1:20, looks like it'll be in black too.
As for the chronographs, looks like this is the new cal. 8500 based chrono movement that's been on the cards. Seconds counter on the left, hour counter on the right, although it looks like it has two hands on it. It'll be interesting to see how that works |

I hope Omega doesn't lose focus on watches if they also plan on doing jewelry.

Also looking at the new gold speedy, it has a 8500 derived movement next to it, so maybe the PO chronographs are getting a 85xx movement too... |

The more I look at this, the more I've got to have it. Looks like my now almost 10 yr old SMP Chrono is going to have welcome a new Omega Chrono family member. I have not bought a new release Omega ever, so I have no idea when they hit the stores.
Does anyone know when the 2011's will be available? I hope Omega gets their new stuff to market faster than Rolex as I know best case for Rolex is usually Aug/early Sep...is Omega the same? Any/all info would be much appreciated. |

This is the part I enjoyed reading:
"And as Seamaster Planet Ocean wristwatches, they are powered by OMEGA's exclusive Co-Axial calibres. Each one is equipped with a silicon balance spring and the combination is so stable and reliable that OMEGA offers all of the new Planet Ocean watches with a full four-year warranty." Brian

The Speedmaster threw me off... Date and only two subdials, combining the min and hour dial.
Looks nice, but I think I'll stick with my 3750.50 for now.

Omega's Facebook page has given some more info
Planet Ocean Chronos are 45.5mm, and the new chronograph calibre is known as the cal. 9300 (cal. 9301 with a rose gold rotor). Judging by their pictures, it's a column wheel chrono and features their silicone hairspring. Definitely black and orange bezel options Also new are a blue dialled De Ville Hour Vision, a Speedmaster with the cal. 9300 (as I thought), and blinged up Ladymatic |

I am interested on the white faced with leather, looking like a simpler IWC portugese

The 9300 in the PO is brilliant, and it has massive potential in a dress chronograph like the IWC Portuguese chrono, but that Speedmaster is all kinds of wrong, if you gave it a bubble on the bottom, it'd be a Tudor Monte Carlo.
