OMEGA Seamaster Planet Ocean Watches — The Icon of Modern Diving Since 2005

Introduced in 2005, the Planet Ocean quickly became one of OMEGA’s most iconic dive watches. Instantly recognizable with its assertive technical design and signature orange bezel, it has embodied for twenty years the perfect balance between professional performance and contemporary elegance. With 600-meter water resistance, Master Chronometer calibres, outstanding precision, and high-end materials, each generation pushes the limits of mechanical dive-watch engineering.

In 2025, OMEGA unveiled a fully redesigned fourth generation — sharper, slimmer, built around a new titanium internal architecture, and now free of the helium escape valve. This major evolution modernizes the Planet Ocean in depth while preserving its essential tool-watch DNA.

Introducing the OMEGA Seamaster Planet Ocean Collection

Since its debut in 2005, the OMEGA Seamaster Planet Ocean has held a unique place in the world of dive watches. Designed as the most professional and technically focused expression of the Seamaster line, it stands out with its 600-meter water resistance, sport-chic identity, and resolutely modern approach to dive-watch craftsmanship.

Whereas the Seamaster Diver 300M represents the ultimate versatile diver, the Planet Ocean positions itself as a true instrument made to withstand the most demanding underwater environments. Externally, its robust design, distinctive Arabic numerals and instantly recognizable aesthetic forged its reputation. Internally, its Master Chronometer movements deliver extreme precision, high magnetic resistance, and outstanding reliability.

Available in multiple configurations — steel, rubber, black, blue, or orange bezels — the Planet Ocean offers a wide range of styles suitable for both professional diving and everyday wear. Technical, modern, and faithful to the Seamaster heritage, it remains one of OMEGA’s most accomplished creations.

The Evolution of the Planet Ocean: 20 Years of Innovation

2005 — The Birth of a New-Generation Professional Diver

The first Planet Ocean introduced strong foundations:

• robust case and 600-meter water resistance,
• signature Arabic numerals at 6–9–12,
• helium escape valve at 10 o’clock,
• Broad Arrow hands,
• and above all… the iconic orange bezel, instantly becoming a symbol of the collection.

From the beginning, the Planet Ocean distinguished itself from the Diver 300M with a more robust, more modern, and more technical personality.

2011 — The Arrival of Ceramic and Advanced Technologies

The second generation marked a decisive turning point:

• introduction of ceramic bezels,
• Liquidmetal technology,
• new-generation Co-Axial calibres,
• improved finishing and durability.

OMEGA strengthened the image of a long-lasting professional dive watch, offering enhanced precision in all conditions.

2016 — Master Chronometer Certification and Technical Refinement

With the third generation, the Planet Ocean reached a new level:

• METAS Master Chronometer certification,
• magnetic resistance increased to 15,000 gauss,
• refined case architecture and increased thickness,
• wider choice of materials (titanium, O-Megasteel, full ceramic).

This version established the Planet Ocean as one of the ultimate references in the professional dive-watch market.

2025 — A Major Aesthetic and Technical Breakthrough

For its 20th anniversary, the Planet Ocean entered a new era. The fourth generation is entirely re-engineered:

• a sharper, more angular case, 2.3 mm thinner,
• the removal of the helium escape valve,
• a titanium internal ring inspired by the Ultra Deep,
• a fully redesigned dial,
• refined bracelets with improved integration.

This is the most radical transformation since 2005.

The 2025 Planet Ocean preserves the legendary robustness of its predecessors while embracing a more modern, more technical, and more architectural aesthetic. It now asserts a distinct identity, separate from the Diver 300M, while reconnecting with historical codes — notably the return of the 42 mm case size.

Technical Features That Make the Difference

600-Meter Water Resistance (60 Bar): A Professional Standard

The Planet Ocean was created with a clear objective: to exceed the usual limits of dive watches.

Its 600-meter water resistance — twice that of the Diver 300M — ranks among the highest for a serial-production dive watch.

This performance relies on:

• a reinforced case,
• a sturdy screw-down caseback,
• an internal architecture designed to withstand extreme pressure.

In the fourth generation, this capability is further improved thanks to a titanium internal ring derived from technologies developed for the OMEGA Ultra Deep — the brand’s most extreme dive watch.

A Master Chronometer Movement: Absolute Precision

All current Planet Ocean models are powered by Master Chronometer certified calibres.

This certification — one of the strictest in the industry — guarantees:

• exceptional real-world precision,
• magnetic resistance up to 15,000 gauss,
• outstanding stability over time,
• reliability tested across eight METAS procedures.

The calibre 8912, used in the new generation, features:

• a three-level Co-Axial escapement,
• a double barrel offering 60 hours of power reserve,
• a silicon balance spring (Si14),
• a construction designed to endure for decades.

High-Performance Materials: Steel, Titanium, Ceramic

The Planet Ocean’s durability and longevity are reinforced through the use of premium materials:

• high-grade stainless steel with alternating brushed and polished surfaces,
• grade 5 titanium for casebacks and internal architecture, combining lightness and strength,
• scratch-proof ceramic bezels, perfectly UV-stable and available in black, blue, or orange,
• markings in enamel or hybrid ceramic for optimal underwater legibility.

The mastery of bright, stable orange ceramic — extremely difficult to achieve — remains one of the most impressive technical signatures of the collection.

Redesigned Bracelets for Optimal Comfort

OMEGA equips its watches with bracelets tailored to modern versatility:

• refined steel bracelets with angular geometry and short links for better ergonomics,
• a folding clasp with six-position micro-adjustment plus dive extension,
• integrated rubber straps — lightweight, flexible, highly sporty.

This combination guarantees comfort and precise wear, even during extended use.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions About the OMEGA Planet Ocean

What is the difference between the OMEGA Seamaster and the Planet Ocean?

The Seamaster includes several lines — Aqua Terra, Diver 300M, Ploprof, and Planet Ocean. The Planet Ocean is the most technical and professional version: water-resistant to 600 meters (vs. 300 m for the Diver 300M), featuring a more robust design, a heavier bezel, and Master Chronometer movements built for deep diving.

It is also known for its stronger aesthetic codes, particularly the iconic orange bezel introduced in 2005.

Is the Planet Ocean suitable for professional diving?

Yes. With its 600-meter water resistance, internal titanium ring, 15,000-gauss magnetic resistance and Master Chronometer certified construction, the Planet Ocean far exceeds ISO 6425 standards.

It is engineered to withstand prolonged dives, pressure changes and extreme environments — making it one of the most advanced professional divers available today.

How much does an OMEGA Planet Ocean cost?

Prices vary depending on the version and bracelet:

• Rubber strap: from approx. €8,400
• Steel bracelet: from approx. €9,000
• Orange versions: approx. €8,700 on rubber and €9,300 on steel

Prices may vary depending on configurations, editions and availability on lepage.fr.

Why is the Planet Ocean known for its orange bezel?

Orange is the historical signature color of the Planet Ocean. In 2005, OMEGA chose this shade for its visibility underwater — but above all to assert a strong and instantly recognizable identity.

The orange bezel quickly became the emblem of the collection, a bold symbol that sets the Planet Ocean apart from every other diver on the market.

In 2025, OMEGA perfected this iconic signature with a remarkably stable orange ceramic — a true technical achievement.
