Omega Seamaster - Omega Watch

The Omega Men's Seamaster Planet Ocean Stainless Steel Watch is built to join you in the deep blue depths. This self-winding chronograph timepiece features 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. A date calendar sits at the 3 o'clock. The watch also features a stainless steel band with a push button fold-over clasp, 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.

Only 2 stars for this watch. While i do not own this particular brand, i do own a Planet Ocean 2200.50.00 which has the DOUBLE ANTI GLARE ( anti glare on inside and outside of crystal ). The watch looks great, no complaints about that.

Take note before you buy any of these watches from Omega that have the Double anti glare. THEY SCRATCH EASILY !! Mine scratched after 2 months and Omega will not warranty it. In fact, if you go to their website, they don't even have a customer service number and it states this:

"Due to the considerable interest shown in the OMEGA brand, our staff is answering an unprecedented number of inquiries. Therefore, you should expect a response time of at least four weeks. We thank you for your patience and understanding." ONLY THROUGH EMAIL

I feel that after spending $4000 on a watch, that they should replace it or at least re-imburse the cost. They do not and will not, so you are stuck with a scratched watch.

Save your bucks and get a ROLEX or Tag. Customer service on these Omega's are NILL !

The last sport watch you'll ever need to buy.

This review refers to the Model 2218.50, XL version (45 mm case) with steel bracelet. The opinions of the movement, adjustment and reliability are also applicable to the model with rubber strap and leather / lizard strap.

This is a hefty timepiece, it weighs 9+ ounces (over half a pound), it feels and exudes quality and is bound to illicit a glance and a double take. The domed double anti glare sapphire crystal is super sharp and sometimes hard to determine it is even there.

The exterior is a combination of brushed and polished stainless steel, most notably the trademark Omega horns are this blended finish.

The screw down crown is adorned with the Omega logo and easy to open, the first position enables manual winding for a power boost, the helium escape valve at 10:00 is adorned with the periodic symbol "He".

Clockwise turns of the crown in second position adjusts the date forward, the date can't be adjusted backwards. Time adjustment is easy and rapid; no adjustment for seconds is available.

The unidirectional bezel rotates counter clockwise 120 clicks and lines up perfectly with every second marker, the solid feel of the rotation is nothing less than you'd expect from an Omega.

The luminescent material of this watch is a glow magnet, just a few seconds exposure to sunlight or held close to a lamp will turn the face of this watch into a lighthouse! Combined with the chrome and split bezel hands of the subdials and this timepiece can be used as a signal mirror for low flying aircraft.

The Omega 3313 movement is identical to their 3303 movement except the 3313 has the co-axial escapement, this is the same movement inside the Omega DeVille and will be used in future models.

The accuracy of this watch is only surpassed by my Omega SeaMaster Quartz 300 2221.80, my Quartz Omega never loses or gains a second and the PO gains less than 5 seconds a week. The days I don't wear it, I spend 60 seconds winding it and store it standing vertically for optimum movement.

The bracelet includes the scuba extension of all SeaMasters, but has no convenience pins for rapid adjustment or for bodily weight fluctuation. It releases easily with the double release pins and feels confidently closed when clasped.

I've performed testing of the power reserve, it continues to function about 43 hours with a full wind.

The watch can also function with a running chronograph for over 40 hours on a full wind, that is impressive.

Overall, I'd recommend this watch for anyone who wants an exquisite sport timepiece which isn't out of place at a formal, like all of the Omegas made before it; I expect this watch to endure for my grandchildren and their grandchildren.

i bought this watch about one month ago, and i look at it every day and still love it!! the sapphire crystal is beautiful and the way the watch feels on my arm is just great!!!

originally, i had a rolex submariner date, but like this watch much more and have now sold my rolex. i have big wrists, so the 45mm watch face looks better than a 39mm rolex submariner. in addition, since the submariner is "too popular", this planet ocean stands out of the crowd---especially because of the red numbers. furthermore, it is now the official james bond watch ;)

one catch is that the watch is very heavy, about 1/2 lbs, but that isn't an issue for me. hope you enjoy the watch as much as i do!

I finally pulled the trigger on this luxury sport watch as my first Omega. I have to say it compares favorably with my Rolex Datejust and GMT-Master II. The clasp is definitely better.

So far, the watch is 2.5 seconds fast over the course of 7 days. My Rolexes have never been as accurate -- this is surprising accuracy for any automatic.

I bought this watch as a gift to myself for Christmas. Spent a month looking at other brands, comparing prices, features, and listening to what others had to say. Finally got it and have not regretted it one bit.

I also considered the Tag Heuer Aquaracer Chrono, which was also a beautiful watch (cheaper), and the ROlex SubMariner (way more expensive) but the Omega Plannet ocean provided the build quality, brand, and looks that I wanted.

Nautical looks and superior quality distinguish this handsome Omega watch. A blue rubber wristband accented by contrast stitching joins to a round, stainless steel case that's 46 millimeters in diameter and features a blue bezel. An intriguing blue wave design on the dial lets luminescent hour indicators and luminescent skeleton hour hands take center stage. A date window at the three o'clock position and a water resistance rating of 984 feet add function to this sporty Omega timepiece.

As expected from Amazon, the watch arrived on original Omega packaging, intact serial numbers and Amazon warranty card. It did not include any of the original omega cards. Given that I'm regular customer of Amazon and this was the lowest price I could find, I bought the watch in here. It was delivered as advertised. I'm very happy with the transaction.

This watch has the Seamaster written in red. It has applied metal Omega logo and symbol and metal encased dial markers. It has longer hands than the 2531.80 (watch it replaced). Internally this watch uses the improved coaxial caliber 2500. This watch is the same as the 2220.80 but without the steel bracelet.

Since Omega 2500 movement is thicker than the older 1120 caliber (found in 2531.80), this watch is thicker than the former bond watches. Even though the case has the same size, the difference in thickness comes from an extended caseback. Because of the increased height, this watch may not look as nice with Nato bands as older models did.

I love this watch and the only part of it I would change are the skeleton hands. These are not bad, but the hands of the black dial Seamater are outstanding.

This is as close to "bulletproof" as a watch can get. Omega quality is obvious in every facet of this watch. A must if you work or play in/around the sea.

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 white 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 stainless steel band with a dual locking fold-over clasp, 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.

Unfortunately for me this is not "the last watch I will ever need". I was tired of replacing batteries in my watches every year or so, mainly because of the hassle to get them replaced. I even stopped wearing watches altogether. I had a Rolex some time ago and was not impressed with it losing 5 minutes a day and the soft plastic crystal that would easily scratch.

I wanted a watch that was self winding so I bought this watch as a treat to myself.

As an unintended consequence I ALWAYS wore it, I was finally wearing a watch again after years without one. The look and feel just makes you want to put this watch on. It is heavy but that does not bother me, perhaps it's part of the allure. But after less than two years of use the self winding mechanism seems to have stopped working. If I take the watch off at 10:00pm and go to bed I see that it has stopped keeping time by about 4:00am. So now I have to set the time several hours ahead every day or if I remember to wind it before bed then it will still be running in the morning. I bought this watch to have less hassle not more hassle. The watch has run a little slow each day since new. It typically loses a few minutes a week. I'm ok with that as I don't expect a mechanical device to be perfect.

I receive a lot of compliments on the watch and it really is a beautiful piece, but I am bummed that Omega is telling me the repair will be up to $500.00 labor plus parts and take 3+ weeks for them to look at it once I ship it to the closest facility in L.A. I'm wondering if I'll just go back to not wearing a watch...

Only 2 stars for this watch. While i do not own this particular brand, i do own a Planet Ocean 2200.50.00 which has the DOUBLE ANTI GLARE ( anti glare on inside and outside of crystal ). The watch looks great, no complaints about that.

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.

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!

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.

THIS IS MY FIRST OMEGA WATCH AND I WILL HAVE TO SAY THAT I LOVE IT. LOOKS FABULOUS AND SPORTY AND DRAWS A LOT OF ATTENTION. I OWN OTHER ROLEX AND TAG BRAND WATCHES AND THIS ONE IS RIGHT UP THERE IN CLASS, BUILT AND LOOKS. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD A GREAT EXPERIENCE WITH BUYING FROM AMAZON AND THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS WORLD CLASS!!

Excellent in every way-BUT-you should consider the bracelet instead of the strap because it can be uncomfortable for most wrists.

This is an 45mm 8 oz timepiece w/o the strap or bracelet, it is tall since the domed caseback is more obtrusive than most Seasmasters because it has a second inner caseback that is also water resistant.

A clasped bracelet offers some arc of support and offloads some of the weight onto the lugs, but the straps are terribly ill suited for a watch this large no matter how soft and how much cushioning is inside.

The criticism over the strap and average size wrist is the watch will "float" loosely over or at least feel loose since it's weight will be felt whenever you try to wave your hand or raise it above your chest. If prolonged, it will begin to bang against the knobby bone in your wrist and bruise it miserably.

If the strap is worn snugly to prevent the floating effect of movement, the diminished circulation from a tight strap and 1/2 pound chuck of stainless steel is enough you to make your entire arm fall asleep.

If you have a large wrist that typically accompany's a big boned 6ft+ frame and worn 45mm+ or larger cases with comfort, then the strap may be perfect.

If this review has raised doubt or questions, it is worth visiting a reputable jeweler (authorized or not doesn't really matter if at this stage) and trying the strap for a few minutes, it will be apparent to you and the tendons in your knuckles if the strap can shoulder this watch comfortably on your wrist.

Avoiding a costly mistake is key since many owners have confided their straps are uncomfortable, but they can't bear to part with their PO and original Omega bracelets will cost a few hundred dollars leaving the owner to resell their lizard or rubber strap.

In my own experiences, I asked my jeweler if he could accept my strap for credit in trade for the bracelet and he complained that almost every strapped PO he sold in the first year was returned and he had a drawer of stretched, cracked and used straps from owners who couldn't tolerate the tendon and wrist pain.

Bear in mind, you aren't limited just to official Omega bracelets, the lugs are 24mm and double girded for two springbars each side, a strong note of caution, anything else other than an original Omega bracelet should at least be attached with the original Omega springbars included with your strap being replaced. This is often overlooked until the aftermarket bracelet and it's cheap pins become unhinged from the lug and the piece falls of your wrist while waving or putting and the worst when your arm is dangling out the window of a moving car !!!

There are too many instances where a half decent bracelet attached with the included and often cheap springbars are inadequate for a case this heavy and the owner has to determine whether to pull over the shoulder and risk pedestrian darwinism or eat an insurance claim.

The chronometer version weighs nearly 3oz less and a thinner case that actually offers some ergonomic countour and comfort. If your criteria is non negotiable and you have wear a 45mm chrono and strap instead of bracelet, it may be worth considering the titanium Seamaster, it is the same size, significantly lighter and has the same mechanical functions for slightly less cost. It is hard to pick a bad Omega and their titanium pieces are some of the finest compared to other titanium chronos.
