Omega

Just when I thought I could keep myself sober from watches for a year or two, Omega launched a timepiece at Baselworld 2011 that I could not find a reason to dislike … the new Seamaster Planet Ocean Chronograph. You might have noticed that I am rather obs...

is the minute hand. two arrow shaped hands are too much. a wide dauphine shaped one would be more to my liking. how much are they ? kind regards. achim

But that's the only way the watch comes in so we don't really have a choice, do we? In my currency it retails for the equivalent of USD 8,200 with minimal boutique discount. Orange aluminum bezel model is about USD 200 cheaper. Ruckdee

... I think the updates are quite nice on this one. If I wasn't so happy with my current one, I'd be looking towards this. The shorter clasp probably works better in the favor of those of us with smaller wrists (mine's 6.6")....  

...more precisely with this clasp also I believe. It's just the aesthetics that's doesn't look right. You know, big watch, small clasp and so on. But it doesn't really bother me. I just pointed it out so that potential buyers will be aware of this change.... 

...means that it wraps better around the lower wrist. It's the one bone of contention I have with so many bracelet clasps- once you remove enough links to fit your small wrist, and because the long clasps aren't always rounded up enough on the ends, you h...

It is really nice and honestly there is nothing wrong with being a little obsessive/compulsive. Wear in good health. Best regards, George

And liked it very much, I look forward to seeing one for real. Congratulations on this great looking Omega.

I like everything about this new purchase, except for the fact that I am not big enough to wear it nicely. Many people have commented from photographs that they look fine. But I still feel a little insecure inside. You must have seen people with watches t... 

Judging from your photos, this is one nice looking watch. I like the " ghost " grey bezel insert. the dial looks very balanced to me.Will be researching this watch. Oh, the 45.5mm fits your wrist like a glove and I like the shorter clasp and it is nicely ... 

Thank you for assuring me it fits my wrist. Very kind of you. Ruckdee

I hope you and the PO have a long and happy life together. Cheers Andrew

I wish every watch review came like this. Enjoy that beauty of yours Ruckdee & pls. don't keep us waiting too long for the next one. cheers fernando

The fact is I am just a guy with too much time and poor prioritization skills Next one will be some time away. I have spent too much on watches these past few years. My fiancee is readily killing me for this. But who knows, right? Ruckdee

Congrats !!! Fantastic pictures with interesting and complete narration! Strangely, the matt crown and He valve, gave this watch 3 types of textures. Guessed it was difficult to brush-polish than to sandblast. So, will you be bringing the new friend to 't... 

And regarding the pushers, as much as I am confident in the product, I am not as confident in my luck. I am known to have had strings of bad luck. I will let the luckier guys do that I guess. Thank you for the compliment, Kong. Ruckdee

Strangely even product build within 6-sigma capability, sometimes unexplained (or luck) came into play Hopefully things will be up for you soon...and by then perhaps a bit more adventurous to show first a underwater shot , then following video of pushers ...

...rugged look as my Ploprof. But it is tough enough to be a go-anywhere-do-anything watch and also cool enough to give a luxurious feel. Ruckdee

you really capture those small, but telling details! thx for sharing--I look forward to a revisit once you've enjoyed this piece for a time.... J

A lot of cropping was involved for those close-ups. But it was worth the effort. I look forward to sharing more also as more opportunities arise for photography. Ruckdee

Enjoyed this report, from A- Z ! - thx for guiding me to that .. - true pleasure to look at these excellent pics, as well ! Have to say, even suggests me to have a look at this piece in the real, although not typical for my 'l'air de famille' of pieces, y... 

...a more refined and traditional brand like JLC. Thank you for your kind words. Perhaps one day I will find a Master Compressor that is right for me. I like the Memovox but they were discontinued. And the NS Alarm is prohibitively priced beyond my range.... 

True, I guess Master Compressor would suit your line, likely.. .. as per the "pure" Memovox(es) : these have been re- issued ( see Nicolas & Blomman's posts on the JLC - forum) - of course pieces with a different appeal, more dressier allure. Finally, I a... 

I've been looking at them and have tried some on. I was about to buy the Memovox (dress, not MC) at one time but the lume on the triangle was defective so I passed on it. Hopefully, they will NOT come out with something I like SIHH 2012 as I really need t... 

Almost envious quality of your pics add a lot of spice to your already well-written review. Nice job! Thanks! Ken

...has produced something this many people appreciate. Thank you for your kind words. Ruckdee

. . . but enjoying it immensely! Congrats, Ruckdee. I believe Omega's cal 9300 will be viewed by the community as one of the great automatic chronograph movements. [2011 Omega Speedmaster with cal 9300 automatic movement] Hope you can join in this Friday'...  

My Caliber 9300 is performing extremely well, beyond expectation, with chronograph on and off. I'm keeping track of accuracy with the help of Excel and will publish my findings this coming Monday after I have two weeks worth of record. It will be just one... 

I specially love your close ups... Brilliant. Too big for your wrist? Don't think so: The lugs don't come over your wrist, and the wrist shots are convincing. Enjoy your new watch, my friend. Best, Nicolas.

This is the wristshot where the watch faces the camera most squarely. It is really as you say. A little longer on the lugs and I wouldn't have been able to wear this watch. I will enjoy this one immensely during the time from now until my eventual acquisi...  

If the lugs come over the wrist, it is a definitive No Go for me. It is totaly unaesthetic, in my point of view, and absolutely not comfortable. May I humbly suggest you to wait till rhe next SIHH, if you consider getting a Master Compressor? We are now a...
