Amazon.com Product Description
The Omega Men's Seamaster Planet Ocean Chronograph Watch is built to join you in the deep blue depths. This self-winding chronograph timepiece features a column wheel mechanism and co-axial escapement movement with rhodium-plated finish movement for greater precision, stability, and durability of the movement, and a stainless steel case and bezel. The watch's black dial is offset by red Arabic numerals, and luminous white hands and markers, and the black bezel features silver engraved second markers and Arabic numerals. The sub-dials with white hands and markers sit at the 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, and a date calendar sits diagonally at the 4 o'clock. The watch also features a black rubber band, and a domed, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal coated on the inside with anti-reflective treatment. Designed to join you in some serious skin diving and other water sports, the Seamaster is water resistant to 2000 feet.

The Omega Story
The Omega watch story begins in 1848, when founder Louis Brandt began hand assembling key-wound precision pocket watches from parts supplied by local craftsmen in his principality La Chaux-de-Fonds, in the northwest corner of Switzerland. However, the Omega name didn't appear until 1894, after Louis Brandt had passed away and his watchmaking traditions were taken over by his sons, Louis-Paul and Cesar Brandt. Omega watches have long been associated with glamorous screen and sports stars--the Omega Seamaster is famous for being the watch of choice for James Bond--with current ambassadors including Pierce Brosnan, Nicole Kidman, tennis player Anna Kournikova, and swimmers Michael Phelps and Ian Thorpe.

But Omega is more than just a fashionable watch. In 1965, the Omega Speedmaster chronograph was "flight-qualified by NASA for all manned space missions" as the only wristwatch to have withstood all of the U.S. space agency's severe tests, including passing grades for extreme shocks, vibrations, and temperatures ranging from -18 to +93 degrees Celsius. The greatest moment in the Speedmaster's history was undoubtedly 20 July 1969 at 02:56 GMT, when it recorded man's first steps on the Moon's surface as part of the Apollo 11 mission. Omega watches rocketed off to space on many subsequent missions, including visits to Skylab and the historic Apollo-Soyuz link-up of Soviet and American astronauts in 1975.

In more recent years, Omega created the world's first self-winding wristwatch with central tourbillon in 1994 and made history in 1999 with the first mass-produced watch incorporating the co-axial escapement, developed in conjunction with renowned English master watchmaker George Daniels. In simple terms, the escapement is the heart of a mechanical watch, generating the impulses that make the mechanism move. Omega's Co-Axial Escapement drastically reduces the friction among the parts that transmit energy to the other components, producing greater stability and precision and reducing service requirements.

Today, Omega is known for its rigorous testing of new movements, cases, and bands. Each new Omega movement is tested on the wrist in existing Omega models, while various laboratory tests are conducted to determine temperature-resistance, shock-resistance and vibration-resistance.

Customer Reviews

What a great watch!
I bought this product through Watchmaxx here at Amazon, five star company and the watch itself is stunning. Just gorgeous modern looks and is impecably well built. I love it just as much as my Breitlings, Rolex or Zenith watches. This combo is in my opinion the best one, the orange bezel is too much.

Wonderful experience
I had a wonderful experience. It was shipped on time and the watch arrived with all the necessary items that come with it. The purchase also came with a warranty which was definitely a good thing. I will definitely recommend this to all my friends. Good Job!

Very Distinctive!
I just got this watch and I love it. The time piece is very distinctive and people will notice you are wearing a quality Swiss time piece just by the looks of it. This version offers a rubber strap but can be confused with leather by the look of it. The time piece is larger than most Omega wristwatches and you can feel the weight on your wrist when you are wearing it. Has helium escape valve function which must be used if you don't want the dome to shatter from the pressure of deep sea diving. The watch is rated to withstand 2000ft/600m.

I never went swimming or diving with this watch and don't really intend to. I wear this with my dress pants and dress shirt and it looks fantastic. I bought it more for looks than function. But know that it was created for diving.
