Seamaster Planet Ocean my next watch?

[Blue23]

I’m thinking of pulling the trigger and adding this new Omega to my collection. Can you provide your experience and thoughts of the watch? If you don’t like it, what you would recommend instead. Definitely want a Blue face. Thank you.

SEAMASTER PLANET OCEAN 600M
OMEGA CO-AXIAL MASTER CHRONOMETER 43.5 MM

Do it, do it, do it!!! I had a speedy pro, which is a great watch, but was very boring for me. I am in love with the PO and just got a blue face as well. Has a great wrist presence, can be worn in multiple settings and has an amazing movement!

I have the black and was torn between all three 43.5mm variants. Its a fantastic watch, great build quality, the ceramic bezel and dial are awesome and the adjustable bracelet is as good if not better than a sub's. The METAS certified movement is incredible in terms of accuracy, mine has averaged +0.1 secs per day over 3.5 months. Post photo's when you have it

Mine is the 8500 movement and 42mm. It’s my second Planet Ocean. I gave the first one to my son. They are GREAT watches! They keep excellent time, are very durable and look great. My only complaint was getting the bracelet adjusted where I wanted it and that has been remedied in the latest 8900 movement version. I have ordered the adjustable clasp for mine as well. My advice would be to see if you can find a good deal on one from a trusted seller. Mostly though, YOU NEED TO GET THIS WATCH!!

Well, I just bought mine on January 8th & it’s getting all my wrist time! My Explorer is getting lonely:)
I was looking for a casual weekend watch to wear to the games & my sons ball practices and since I’m a Cincinnati Bengals fan this one immediately spoke to me. I was torn between the strap version or the bracelet, but the strap was more comfortable to me & It fitted my purpose for the watch better. I have a 6 3/4” wrist and this watch just feels great to me, the dial & bezel is just awesome & it’s keeping excellent time. Needless to say I’m very happy with my purchase!
Post some pictures of yours when you get it!

I even wore this watch to Church on Sunday with my suit & I think it dressed up okay:)

On the blue face blue bezel is the Bezel on the glossy side. I know the black face has more of a matte grey Bezel. Thank you.

This is the smaller 42mm Titanium model used. It’s a nice watch

This is the 8900 movement 43.5mm steel and blue

This is the 42mm steel 8500 movement. This is exactly the same as my watch

If you do a search in the Non-Rolex sales section there are several Planet Ocean watches. This is just a sample. I hope it helps.

Thank you

The planet oceans are bad@$$ watches indeed. I think the blue face/ceramic ones are not photogenic at all but look killer in person every time I see one. Maybe someday I might add one of the newer 39mm ones in blue to my collection.

They are awesome in every way. But it's gotta be orange. Blue is boring on a PO.

The Exploer doesn't remotely compare.

Just more pictures to tempt you.

I've had mine a few months now and it's getting plenty of time on the wrist, I'm on holiday now and it's the only watch I have brought with me. It's beautifully made and keeps fantastic time. It was bought as a casual wearer and saying that, it's to chunky and mines to colourful for wearing as a dress up watch.

[WyoWatch]

I have a pretty decent watch collection and this by far gets the most wrist time.

[yessir69]

Wonderful watch. I had the original 2500 model back in the day and I've always regretted trading it. Has a much better feel than the six digit Submariners.

[stockjock1975]

Get it! I just can't seem to wear anything else these days. Robust, accurate, and beautiful. What more could you want?

I'm in a suit/tie today and the PO fits right in.

I must be a sissy, as I found them to be just too big for me. I’m 6-0, 225, with 7.75” wrists. I wore something this big for a few months and ended up passing it on to my son in law, as it just felt too “clunky” on my wrist.

But with that said, they ARE beautiful pieces and certvery reliable.

I love that they now make a 39mm version. I know I'm a little late to the party, as just read that it came out in 2016?!

Going to the boutique to try the blue dial version...

WyoWatch: awesome picture, man! Got any more?

Thank you sir! Sure, here's a couple more. Speaking of 39.5mm size, that's what mine is. Having a 6.5" wrist diameter, this watch is a match made in heaven. I am soooo happy to see watch companies starting to put out some smaller sized options.

I tried on the 43.5 at the AD and thought it was a bit big. I then tried on the old version with the 8500 movement which is 42mm. I had one of these and gave it to my son. I like the feel of the 42. I then found one on the net!!

Great pics WyoWatch!!

I think they're great watches but definitely on the heavy / thicker side.

I couldn't get mine under a dress shirt cuff.

If thickness doesn't bother you but weight does, consider Titanium. Fortunately the blue comes in titanium or steel last I recall.

Good luck!

PO, in Orange---blows a sub out of the water.

[6CAB5N]

I flipped the 43.5mm PO last year and I wish I hadn’t. It was a nice watch. Great bracelet too.

Yes! Fantastic watch. Other than thickness/dimensions, trumped my Hulk in every measure when I had both.

Same! My wrist is even a little smaller, probably 6.25" (but very flat on top). I can't wear any of the monster watches that it seems every brand went crazy for the past few years. That's why the Daytona is so perfect for me.

How is the thickness of the 39.5mm on a small wrist? I keep reading the PO line has a thickness problem?

Thanks for the extra pics. What camera are you using?! Everything looks so sharp.

Thickness doesn't bother me at all. Of course, I've never been one who has been bothered by thickness unless it's just ludicrously thick. The specs say the caliber 8800, 39.5mm PO, comes in at 14.16mm. The old 2500 42mm POs were a hair thicker than that at 14.2mm. The current 43.5mm POs come in at around 16mm. So yeah, not as thin as a ceramic Sub at 13mm but not bad at all. Like I said, it doesn't bother me and I don't notice it being top heavy or anything.

As for a camera, I'm just using my phone. It's a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. It continually surprises me how nice of photos it can take. Of course that all depends on the lighting and I do a little post processing / color tweaking too.
