Omega Planet Ocean 600M 43.5mm Black Dial

We have had the opportunity many times to write about the Planet Ocean series, and the model presented today is a representative of the next generation, featuring the brand’s new Master Chronometer movements, first introduced in 2016. This watch pays tribute to Omega’s diving heritage – with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, black dial with a date window at 3 o’clock, and well-proportioned hour markers and hands. It is not only comfortable, but also functionally balanced. The unidirectional rotating bezel is mounted on a 43.5 mm steel case, and its polished finish is one of the main visual differences compared with the previous Planet Ocean version. The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M is water-resistant to an impressive 600 metres / 2000 feet / 60 bar and features a helium escape valve. This watch delivers exceptional performance and great style both above and below the water. The solid steel case, deep black dial with luminous hands and markers designed to ensure excellent visibility even in low-light conditions, and the orange tip of the seconds hand – all of this allows this watch to be a true instrument in the hands of professionals. The movement gives new reasons for admiration – the Co-Axial Omega Calibre 8900, operating at the unusual frequency for many other movements of 25,200 vibrations per hour, or 3.5 Hz, with a power reserve of over 60 hours, 39 jewels and 202 components. Two barrels, the brand’s Nivachoc anti-shock system, anti-magnetism up to 15,000 gauss, Master Chronometer certification and so on and so forth – all of this allows Omega to offer an extended warranty on some of its watches equipped with this movement.
