The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean is currently in what could be considered its third generation, and despite its substantial growth in both the number of references and complications available, the standard-bearer of the line is still the three-handed dive watch.

The collection’s latest refresh came in 2016, with the introduction of more premium materials, new design elements, and, most importantly, the usage of Master Chronometer-certified movements.

And that’s where this Planet Ocean comes from, with a 43.5mm case in stainless steel and signature 10 o’clock helium escape valve, the watch is foremost characterized by its professional-grade, built-tough appeal.

Atop the case is a 120-click, coin-edged, unidirectional bezel, it featuring a polished black and orange insert featuring a blend of ceramic and OMEGA’s proprietary LiquidMetal alloy (the Planet Ocean was the first OMEGA to utilize LiquidMetal when it was introduced in 2009).

The case is enhanced by the polished black ceramic dial it protects up to 600m underwater, the aesthetic creating a luxe, glossy effect.

Upon it, a date window is placed in a color-matched aperture at three o’clock, and an intermix of applied orange Arabic numerals and lume-filled indices make up the rest of the timekeeping displays.
