It was with omega’s maritime legacy in mind that the brand launched its Planet Ocean line in 2005. The stylish omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M pays homage to omega’s dive watch heritage. This model, with its scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, features a black dial with a small seconds dial, a date window and a central chronograph hand. Sixty-minute and 12-hour counters are found on the same dial at the 3 o’clock position, allowing for intuitive reading of the elapsed time. The black ceramic unidirectional rotating divers’ bezel is mounted on a 45.5 mm stainless steel case on a stainless steel bracelet. The omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M is water resistant to 600 metres / 2000 feet / 60 bar, and has a helium-escape valve. This certified chronometer timepiece is powered by the omega Co-Axial calibre 9300 which can be seen through the transparent case-back. – Brushed/Satin finished stainless steel case with polished finished beveled edges. – Brushed finished stainless steel bracelet with polished finished edges. – Matte black dial. – Applied polished steel index hour markers with blue luminescent fill. – Polished steel hands: hour & seconds hand with blue luminescent fill, minute hand with green luminescent fill as does the 12 o’clock dot on the rotating bezel. – Small continuous running seconds hand sub-dial located at the 9 o’clock position. – Date window displayed at the 6 o’clock position. – Helium Escapement Valve located on the edge of the case at the 10 o’clock position. – Slightly domed sapphire crystal.
