The Watch

The Omega Seamaster is one of the best-known watches out there, with a lengthy history that spans from 1948 up to today. In 2005 Omega launched the Planet Ocean which represented a turning point for the Seamaster collection.

Positioned as the highest-grade professional option for diving in the brand's catalog, the watch quickly caught fire among enthusiasts.

The Watch oozes toughness. Featuring a hardy 42mm by 15mm stainless steel case, easily adjustable screw-down crown and helium escape, and deeply toothed unidirectional diving bezel, the Planet Ocean from its case alone oozes confidence in and out of the water, being a watch that is more than prepared for a few bumps.
