The OMEGA Seamaster Planet Ocean Orange Ceramic is more than a world premiere – it is prime example of craftsmanship and exceptional innovation. The Seamaster Planet Ocean Orange Ceramic has a brushed and polished 43.50 mm case crafted from 950-grade platinum with a bi-directional 24-hour GMT rotating bezel whose polished ring is made from orange ceramic (patent pending), a world premiere. This stunning wristwatch has been produced in an edition limited to only eight pieces, a testimony to the challenge and complexity of creating the Seamaster Planet Ocean Orange Ceramic.
Confirming the timepiece’s unique status are the words “World Premiere” engraved on the caseback, along with the limited edition number. The sapphire crystal on the caseback allows an unobstructed view of the OMEGA Co-Axial calibre 8615 at the heart of the Seamaster Planet Ocean Orange Ceramic. This exclusive OMEGA Co-Axial mechanical movement is fitted with a Si14 silicon balance spring.
Adding to the watch’s striking appearance are the 850-grade platinum Liquidmetal® numerals, division lines, inner ring and triangle on the bezel.
Beneath the domed scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, the sand-blasted 950-grade platinum dial complements the orange ceramic bezel ring and the dazzling platinum case. “Pt950” is engraved above the centre hole, identifying the material of the intriguing dial.
Along with the facetted 18K white gold indexes and central hour - minute - seconds hands, there are the 6 – 9 - 12 numerals, GMT applique and the central GMT hand that rotates once every 24 hours in orange aluminium. This useful complication can be used with the rotating bezel to help you keep track of the time in a second and third time zone.

. . . other than the central tourbillon, I can't think of any other Omegas rendered in 950 Pt, at least, not off the top of my head. I wonder if this augers for platinum models across the line. Thanks very much for sharing this with us, Mark.
I'm not sure that Pt will enter the current collection,
I think it was made to underline the new ceramic color. Nice evolution though as some brands are trying to develop colored ceramic for watches. Cheers Art, Mark

Worth the extra money compared to the steel version as the hands are much more appealing. It is not limited as you know but surely of very limited quantities ... that is a dark horse, actually :-). Best Moritz

Mark, firstly a great thank you for the informative thread. I can appreciate the orange Pt one but I do not understand why they put diamonds on the sapphire back of the black one. IMO this does not make sense - first to create a see through back and then ...
My guess
I guess they used this tool watch to make a kind of demonstration. I's just a communication support for the ceramic elements. So, as for the diamond on the case back saphire, I think it is to show something, instead to really use the watch as such. I wond...
