The new Seamaster Planet Ocean collection has finally surfaced. These watches have quickly become invaluable accessories for any diver, including professional divers going to huge depths every day. The reason for this is the huge number of unique features it offers.
The Poseidon of watches has surfaced
The Omega Planet Ocean Big Size is designed to be as easy as possible for wearers to use and read under pressure, fog or difficult visibility conditions. The facets of the face are coated in white Super-LumiNova paint so that the hands and the indexes emit a blue light, with the minute hand and the dot on the bezel giving off a green light. Combined with the 45.5mm case size this model is very visible in even the worst of underwater conditions.
The watch also comes with the revolutionary co-axial technology as standard; this ingenious mechanism reduces friction and energy loss in the timepiece. Reliability is also increased as the new mechanism reduces the number of moving parts within the watch that would require proper lubrication and potentially break. In fact, this watch even comes with a 4 year guarantee from omega because they believe this innovative technology makes it sturdy enough to handle any underwater knocks or bumps.
But the most remarkable thing about this new collection is that a Planet Ocean watch can breathe in much the same way you do. These watches come equipped with a helium release valve that means that if you dived with a helium-oxygen gas mixture, when they are in the decompression chamber, they won’t release the trapped helium too quickly, which can cause the parts to move out of place in a normal watch.
The Planet Ocean range is the perfect example of the inventiveness of Omega that blends fashionable accessory and essential professional tool so seamlessly.
