The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean ‘Jewellery’ Co-Axial chronograph and chronometers take Omega in more than one exciting new direction. Part of the Seamaster family, they are fully functional diver’s watches with all of the technical prowess implied by Omega’s experience making diver’s watches since the 1940s, including water resistance to 600 metres (2000 feet), a unidirectional rotating bezel and a helium-release valve to reduce the pressure. But they are also luxuriantly diamond-set, with painstaking craft worthy of the best jewellery watches. They look immensely suave and sophisticated at the most glamorous of evening events, worn on the cuff of a dress shirt or with a gorgeous gown.

Nowadays people don’t ask whether a watch is designed for a man or a woman. In 2004, when the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean range was first launched, its large sizes – 45.5 mm and 42 mm – seemed very masculine, but now women love large-sized watches, the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean ‘Jewellery’ watch was designed with neither men nor women specifically in mind but is for anyone taken by its fancy. Omega’s designers have set out to make a watch that truly breaks boundaries. It is a top quality diver’s watch that will probably never be used for diving, but is a stunning talking point, a watch to be seen in. This is helping to set a new trend of diver’s watches as jewellery, an area where only a few watch companies have gone but more will surely follow.  The new model can appeal equally to a woman who wants a large, glamorous watch, or to the increasing number of men who want diamond watches.

The chronograph, at 45.5 mm, has a sporty air, despite its bezel of 45 sizeable diamonds totalling 2.65 carats. It has a small seconds counter at 9 o’clock, a 30-minute recorder at 3 and a 12-hour recorder at 6, with a small date window at 4:30. The sleek, elegant chronometer comes in 45.5 mm and 42 mm diameters, the latter with 45 slightly smaller diamonds totalling 1.73 carats. All models have a black triangular dive minute marker with white Super-LumiNova dot, at 12 o’clock.

The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean ‘Jewellery’ is not only one of Omega’s most striking and original timepieces, but also one of their most versatile and innovative models.
