The Seamaster Planet Ocean is not new, but the use of orange ceramic is. This stunning wristwatch has been produced in an limited edition of eight (!) pieces only.
The Seamaster Planet Ocean Orange Ceramic has a brushed and polished 43.50 mm case crafted from 950-grade platinum with a bi-directional 24-hour GMT rotating bezel whose polished ring is made from orange ceramic (patent pending), a world premiere.
Omega sees this limitation of eight pieces only as a testimony to the challenge and complexity of creating the Seamaster Planet Ocean Orange Ceramic.
Confirming the timepiece’s unique status are the words “World Premiere” engraved on the case back, along with the limited edition number. The sapphire crystal on the case back allows an unobstructed view of the Omega Co-Axial calibre 8615 at the heart of the Seamaster Planet Ocean Orange Ceramic. The exclusive Co-Axial mechanical movement is fitted with a Si14 silicon balance spring.
Adding to the watch’s striking appearance are the 850-grade platinum Liquidmetal numerals, division lines, inner ring and triangle on the bezel. Beneath the domed scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, the sand-blasted 950-grade platinum dial complements the orange ceramic bezel ring and the dazzling platinum case. “Pt950” is engraved above the centre hole, identifying the material of the intriguing dial. Along with the facetted 18-carat white gold indexes and central hour – minute – seconds hands, there are the 6 – 9 – 12 numerals, GMT applique and the central GMT-hand that rotates once every 24 hours in orange aluminum. It can be used with the rotating bezel to help you keep track of the time in a second and third time zone.
The Omega features an integrated orange leather strap with platinum stitching and a 950-grade platinum fold over clasp. An orange rubber strap is also delivered with it along with a special tool to change it.
The Seamaster Planet Ocean Orange Ceramic is water resistant to 60 bar (600 meters / 2000 feet). This timepiece is delivered with a full four-year warranty.
