The Omega StoryThe Omega watch story begins in 1848, when founder Louis Brandt started out hand assembling key-wound precision pocket watches from constituents supplied by local craftsmen in his principality La Chaux-de-Fonds, in the northwest corner of Switzerland. However, the Omega name didn't appear until 1894, after Louis Brandt had passed away and his watchmaking traditions were taken over by his sons, Louis-Paul and Cesar Brandt. Omega watches have long been affiliated with glamorous screen and sports stars--the Omega Seamaster is widely known and esteemed for being the watch of choice for James Bond--with current ambassadors including Pierce Brosnan, Nicole Kidman, tennis player Anna Kournikova, and swimmers Michael Phelps and Ian Thorpe. But Omega is more than just a fashionable watch. In 1965, the Omega Speedmaster chronograph was "flight-qualified by NASA for all manned space missions" as the only wristwatch to have withstood all of the U.S. space agency's severe tests, including passing grades for extreme shocks, vibrations, and temperatures ranging from -18 to +93 degrees Celsius. The biggest moment in the Speedmaster's history was undoubtedly 20 July 1969 at 02:56 GMT, when it recorded man's basi steps on the Moon's surface as share of the Apollo 11 mission. Omega watches rocketed off to space on galore subsequent missions, including visits to Skylab and the historic Apollo-Soyuz link-up of Soviet and American astronauts in 1975. In more recent years, Omega produced the world's introductory self-winding wristwatch with central tourbillon in 1994 and made history in 1999 with the introductory mass-produced watch incorporating the co-axial escapement, formulated in conjunction with widely known and esteemed English master watchmaker George Daniels. In simple terms, the escapement is the heart of a mechanical watch, generating the impulses that make the mechanism move. Omega's Co-Axial Escapement drasti reduces the friction amid the elements that transmit energy to the other components, formulating dandier stability and precision and reducing service requirements.
Today, Omega is known for it is stringent testing of new movements, cases, and bands. Each new Omega motion is tested on the wrist in existent Omega models, while respective laboratory tests are conducted to determine temperature-resistance, shock-resistance and vibration-resistance.

 If you may afford this watch, it's worth the price...
By Darwin Tesla
If you are like me, then you take delight in researching big ticket items as much as the purchase. I can't say that it does away with buyer's regret but the hangover doesn't last closely as long. I purchased the Omega Planet Ocean 6 months ago with a good deal of trepidation because of the price and a bad experience that I once had with a Rolex. I was concerned in regards to the price because it cost substantially more than the Omega Seamaster. The Seamaster is likewise a diver's watch and has a proven track record. In fact, the watch that James Bond* wore in Casino Royale was a particular edition quartz Seamaster. In this review, I will undertake to answer the following questions:
Is it worth paying more cash for a Planet Ocean, than for it's predecessor, the Seamaster?
How does the Planet Ocean stack up to more pricey competitor, Rolex Sea Dweller?
*Note: James Bond wore the Planet Ocean in a Quantum of Solace.
While conducting this review, I'll likewise undertake to educate the novice on the basic parts of a watch: bezel, movement, band, crystal, case, and the face (dial, marker, hands). Without understanding each of these components, you can not accurately compare watches. Of course, there are other constituents as well as intangibles to be taken into thoughtfulness (warranty, prestige, price, etc.).
1. The crystal is the transparent cover that allows one to view the time while protecting the face of the watch from damage. The divergence in quality and price varies according to the scratch resistance (hardness) of the crystal and the anti-reflective coating that have become frequent on high end diver's watches. Any watch costing more than $150 will in general have one of three crystals: Mineral, Sapphire, and Ceramic. All Rolex and Omega watches come with Sapphire or Ceramic. Ceramic (yttrium-stabilized zirconia) is the most recent and most technologically innovative material. For the sake of concision, the minor vantages of a ceramic bezel aren't worth the premium price at this time.
The Planet Ocean and all of the competing diving watches in this class come with sapphire crystal. Sapphire crystal is aptly named because it's in a literal sense a lab produced corundum. For those of you who are not gemologists, sapphires and rubies are imagination names for red and blue corundum! Corundum has a 9 on the Mohs hardness scale (diamond = 10). Ergo, not one thing underneath 9 on the Mohs hardness scale will have to effortlessly scratch it. I'm very hard on watches but still haven't managed to scratch the P.O.'s sapphire crystal. The harder a substance, the more brittle it is, therefore, you're be just as likely to shatter a sapphire crystal than scratch it. If the crystal is raised (i.e. Sea Dweller), the exposed edge is also susceptible to being chipped. Fortunately, this is not a problem with the Planet Ocean since the sapphire crystal sits flush with the stainless steel bezel (replaceable).
Besides the way the sapphire crystals are mounted, the chief divergences amid diving watches implicate the anti-reflective coating, or lack thereof. The Omega Seamaster and the Rolex Sea Dweller both put the anti-reflective coating on the inside of the crystal while the Planet Ocean has translucent blue tinted anti-reflective coating on both the outside and inside of the crystal. Note: You may only see the 'blue tint' by tilting the watch at an angle. Before purchasing this watch, I read an novice review from a Sea Dweller owner who stated that Omega made a fault because the exterior anti-reflective coating leaves noticeable marks when scratched. I've found that criticism to be highly exaggerated. In fact, I wear this watch every day and have put galore scratches on the band but cannot find any marks on the coating. If you are in truth going to use this watch for it's intended intent (scuba diving), then you will utterly want to have this exterior coating because it works much better than the interior coating alone! IMHO, I love the crystal's signature bluish hue because it's the simplest way to distinguish an authentic P.O. from a cheap forgery.
2. Movement is the 'motor' of the watch that keeps the time, date, etc. Each discerned mechanical function of a watch is called a 'complication'. With premium watches, you in general have three selections when it comes to movement: Quartz, winding, and automatic. Quartz watches are more exact and less expensive, but require batteries. Question: Why would anybody with half a brain want an automatic watch then? Answer: Multiple reasons! While automatic and winding movements are less practical and in general require more maintenance over the long haul, the divergence is the artistry, ingenuity, and elegance of a mechanical movement. This is where the Omega Planet Ocean outperforms nearly each other watch out there including the Rolex Sea Dweller. The Caliber 2500 motion is based on an ETA 2892-2 (ETA is owned by the same company, Swatch group that owns Omega). Several inventions make this 27 jewel motion extraordinary. Due to the 'Co-Axial Displacement' the self winding (automatic) motion has managed to substantially reduce friction, thence requires much less lubrication than any other automatic movements fabricated today! What that means to you, my friend is that your new Planet Ocean watch will not require costly servicing for 10 YEARS! FYI, that's twice as long as any Rolex. The drasti scaled down friction within the motion also doubles the lifetime of the watch! Additionally, Caliber 2500 motion has been equipped with a 'free sprung balance' that's a 'state of the art' simplified regulating scheme which mainly improves the COSC timing precision. In other words, this watch keeps exceptionally precise time for a mechanical watch. In my experience, this watch has kept closely perfective time +/- 1 second a day and beneath 2 seconds a week. FYI: All mechanical watches tend to run fast by a few seconds per week for the duration of the basi 6 to 18 months because of the original factory lubrication. As the lubrication thins and spreads, high end mechanical watches in general become more accurate. Since the P.O. doesn't need as much lubrication, the accuracy out of the box is amazing. It's the only mechanical watch that I've owned that's lived up to it's billing when it comes to keeping time.
3. Case: The Omega Planet Ocean's case is beautiful, rugged, and well designed with twice the water resistance rating of the Seamaster at 600m/1200ft. While that's half of the water resistance of the Rolex Sea Dweller, it's a moot point since the diving depth record with a breathing apparatus is only 313m! To give you a reference point, the most modern atomic submarine (US Sea Wolf class) has a greatest or most complete or best possible diving depth of 500 meters. Omega developed the helium release value that made watches better suitable for longer deeper dives. Without it, the pressure alter upon returning to the surface would pop out the crystal. On the Planet Ocean, the release value is manual and looks like another winding clasp but is inscribed 'He' (the scientific symbol for helium). FYI- the safety value doesn't need to be deployed for normal swimming and diving.
Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention the finelooking depiction of the Omega sea monster [hippokampoi] is on the case back. Not only is it attractive, but it's the easiest way to determine if the watch is a authenti Planet Ocean. While counterfeit watches don't seem to have disturb imitating the Rolex green hologram sticker, I've searched the internet and have never seen a convincing forgery of the Omega sea monster on the back case. If you don't believe me, then go to the phony watch internet sites on the internet and do a comparison. The counterfeiters recognise that most humans who buy counterfeit watches are only fascinated in fooling passive onlookers.
4. On the Planet Ocean, the bezel is the black or orange 'coin edged' unidirectional rotating stainless steel ring that surrounds the crystal. The Omega Planet Ocean's 'easy grip' bezel has 120 clicks (stopping points) stopping incisively on the markers. FYI: If you are diving with this watch, then the bezel is one of the most primary features. For others who plainly take delight in the styling and durability of a diving watch, the bezel provides a quick way to determine the quality, precision, and attention to detail that was put into the watch.
5. The band is the least crucial feature of a watch as far as I'm concerned. The band may be changed and will probably be substituted long before the watch dies of natural causes. Nevertheless, an pricey watch ought to come with a solid clasped high grade stainless steel, gold, or titanium band (I abhor leather and plastic). The Omega Planet Ocean's band is primary rate. I found the it to be very comfortable and secure with no sharp edges. The clasping mechanism works flawlessly. Being that it is a diving watch, the clasp has a clever mechanism that painlessly extends the band to grant it to fit over a diving suit (or jacket sleeve). Fortunately, the band is brushed stainless steel so it doesn't show scratches like the polished case.
6. Face (dial, marker, hands)- The Planet Ocean's hands and makers are coated with Superluminova resin. That means that when you turn out the lights, you do not have disturb making out the time for 30 minutes or so. The arrow tipped hands distinguish the Planet Ocean from the Sea Master and the Ocean Dweller. Another cool feature is that you may distinguish the hands from one another even at 12:00! The date does not require magnification. I've always felt that magnified dates aka cyclops interferes with the elegance of a watch. While this is a matter of personal preference, a good deal of persons ought to agree since Rolex does not include the cyclops on the Sea Dweller.
Finally, I ought to mention the size. The Planet Ocean is a comparatively huge watch at 45.5mm and weighs 9oz. I like more prominent watches but it's a matter of taste. I'm a big man (6'3" 210lbs) so it fits me proportionally. For somebody with a littler frame or thinner wrists, Omega makes a more or less diminutive version (42mm) of the usual PO. Whichever version you choose, the Plane Ocean will never be mistaken for a lady's watch!
CONCLUSION: While the PO does cost more than the Seamaster, I believe that it's well worth the extra price because of the bettered motion and styling. You are likewise paying $5000 less than the Sea Dweller. I love my Planet Ocean and highly commend it. 11 of 12 persons found the following review helpful.
Watchmakers Advice
By Claude H. Suddreth
I am rather opinionated when it comes to luxuriousness watches. This comes from spending 2 years in watchmaking school, studying directly beneath the guidance of a certified master swiss watchmaker who came here from Europe. Watches, specially mid to high grade swiss watches, are a passion of mine. I am not loyal to a brand or a style or anything else. I judge them for what they are, in terms of quality, function, construction, and style. A watchmakers point of view.
This said I will tell you that this queer watch is what I consider to be a "best kept secret" sort of watch. This is an AUTOMATIC watch (read: Mechanical - NOT Quartz), and of CHRONOMETER grade function. Chronometer as employed here is a measure of exact timekeeping, not quality - a point often times misunderstood - and is used largely from a retail point of view by companies such as Rolex. HOWEVER. This motion in THIS watch is in truth EXCELLENT in terms of quality, time keeping ability, and construction - effortlessly comparable to other Swiss made movements from other famous makers costing assorted times as much. This watch, the right way serviced, will provide a lifetime of use - and probably more. Absolutely the sort of watch you pass down to the next generation.
All in all - and EXCELLENT choice - peculiarly for those seeking their firstborn QUALITY Swiss watch purchase.
Definitely recommended! 7 of 7 humans found the following review helpful.
Great Value in Premium Watches
By Nimajneb
I have a couple of lavishness watches - a Girard Perregaux that I use for formal occasions and a Tag Heuer for every day use. The steel band on my Tag broke, and I applied that as an pardon to at long last upgrade. I considered a Rolex, Cartier (Roadster), Breitling, Omega, or another GP. After prowling around lavishness watch forums/reviews, I settled on the Omega SPS as having the best value for the money. Rolex makes outstanding watches, but they're so ubiquitous with so a good deal of fakes drifting around that it doesn't feel "special". Cartier seems to be widely panned by lavishness watch afficionados - apparently it is mechanism is so sensible that it must be sent in to Cartier for routine maintenance each 3-5 years at a cost of $700 a pop!! The Breitling models I liked have monstrous sizes...they looked incongrous on my 7" wrist. In the end, I settled on the Omega SPS - and I believe I made the right decision. It's beauteous - it looks and feels substantitive without looking pretentious. The red/orange 6, 9, and 12 numbers on the dial catches the eye. I think this is a great lavishness watch for daily use. It surely feels like it may take a lot of abuse. See all 6 client reviews... |
