Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Big Blue Review

Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Big Blue is big – the case measures 45.5mm in diameter – and it’s definitely blue. Blue ceramic to be precise, complete with a blue ceramic bezel featuring a diving scale marked by Liquidmetal® numerals. Even the dial is blue ceramic, with a GMT track and GMT hand in brightly contrasting orange. The hands and indexes are in 18k white gold and feature white Super-LumiNova coating to ensure high legibility in low-light conditions. For added clarity when diving, orange rubber and ceramic covers the first 15 minutes on the diving scale. More replica Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean.

The sapphire caseback reveals the Caliber 8906, a “Master Co-Axial” caliber able to withstand magnetic forces of up to 15,000 gauss. If you look closely you will also notice the words ‘Naiad Lock’ printed on the wave-edged, screw-in case back. This refers to a patented ceramic lock developed by Omega that is designed to keep the engraved wording correctly aligned.

Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch Sedna gold Review

This replica Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch features an updated Sedna™ gold case.At 39.7mm I thought it might feel a little small compared to the other watches I typical wear, which normally start at 42mm and go up (although to be fair my go to watch at the moment is a vintage Omega Seamaster from the 60’s which barely scratches 36mm). Turns out I was wrong. Not only is it super-comfortable on the wrist but thanks to some clever design by Omega it also looks like it’s a 42mm.

To achieve this little optical illusion the bezel ring actually protrudes out a little bit from the case, rather than sitting flush on top of it. Likewise the sapphire crystal is raised a little bit, giving the watch a sense of depth that is only magnified by the shimmer of the brown polished ceramic bezel ring complete with matt chromium nitride tachymeter scale.

This Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch model is presented in a Sedna™ gold case and features brown highlights, which I assure you look much nicer than they sound. The central opaline silvery dial contrasts nicely with the brown subdials and minutes track, whilst the applied indexes and the hands are all made of Sedna™ gold, with the latter offering a mix of “Alpha” and “Baton” designs.

The manual-wind Omega calibre 1861, which gives the Speedmaster its chronograph functionality along with a 48-hour power reserve. The solid caseback includes the original Seahorse emblem, along with special engravings including “THE FIRST OMEGA IN SPACE”, “OCTOBER 3, 1962” and “NUMBERED EDITION No.”

39.5mm Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m Review

39.5mm Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m is more comfortable, especially when worn on the metallic bracelet. Well, a watch is supposed to wrap around your wrist, not to sit on top of your wrist. When you take a 45mm watch on a wrist like mine, it does not embrace the curvature of the wrist. You have a void under the lugs that creates and makes the watch potentially unbalanced. With a smaller watch, the caseback sits on the flat part of the wrist and the bracelet or the strap sits flat too, at its beginning, to then wrap around the wrist. More replica Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean.

The lugs simply outstrip my wrist and the strap / bracelet has to go down straight at 90 degrees. The 43.5mm begins to be better and, if I take this watch on the rubber and fabric strap, it feels even better. However, the best option in terms of comfort clearly, undoubtedly, is the 39.5mm.

The Seamaster Planet Ocean is already a rather bulky watch, with a large bezel, large indexes and large hands. Even in this 39.5mm edition, it has a 14.16mm height – and over 16mm in the 43.5mm version. So combining this with a too large diameter might not be very elegant.
