The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean #2201.50.00 Review

The Omega Seamaster, released in 1948 by Omega Watch, has been always attracting and elegant. And the line has a new collection— the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean. And I’d talk about the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean #2201.50.00.

This COSC certified chronometer can survive and work well in a depth up to 600 meters(2000 feet), so it’s very suitable for a diving lover. As the Rolex Submariner, this Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean has a bezel that can only rotate unidirectionally(means the bezel can only turn in one direction). This is particularly useful for divers who cannot accidentally rotate it in the wrong direction, which could cause them to miscalculate their dive times. A rotating bezel makes it easy to measure elapsed time.

The watch display the day of the month in a window on watch dial at the 3 o’clock position. And the watch features a self-locking crown that is screwed into the tube of the case, which could ensure the water-resistance. And the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean #2201.50.00 has a decompression system which allows helium to escape from inside the watch when the watch is worn for professional use in pressure chambers.

The model is studded with domed anti reflective and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal. And the case with a diameter of 42mm is made of steel. The dial is black in the case.

The watch is powered by Co-Axial Escapement movement with rhodium-plated finish,

And this watch is also connected to the spy film 007—James Bond wears this model.

James Bond’s Choice: Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m Quantum Of Solace Limited Edition

 

  

The new Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m Quantum Of Solace Limited Edition, released in conjuction with the James Bond movie Quantum of Solace, was a new Omega Seamaster. This new Seamaster is available in a limited number of 5,007 pieces. Perfectly matching the traits of the most famous spy, this Seamaster has several specific technical features and design details.

 

The bezel and the hands are distinctively different. The Planet Oceans bezel is slightly bit smaller than the case. This gives the Planet Ocean a sleeker appearance and more distinctive appearance.

The polished and brushed stainless steel case of the Omega watch measures 45.50 mm in diameter. The case construction incorporates a stainless steel

 

unidirectional bezel with a black aluminum ring, as well as a stainless steel screw-in crown. The helium escape valve is found at 10 o’clock. The curved scratch-resistant sapphire crystal is provided with inside anti-reflective treatment.

The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean is powered by a self-winding Omega Co-Axial 2500 movement, which is a heavily modified ETA 2892 movement. The Omega developed Co-Axial technology reduces friction and prolonged service intervals The COSC-certified movement offers 48 hours of the power reserve.

James Bond movies’ fans are delighted to see the words ‘Quantum of Solace’ that are discreetly laser-engraved on the inside of the sapphire crystal. The screwed-in stainless steel case back of the Omega watch features a ‘007′ emblem stamp engraved with the limited edition number. One more exquisite design detail worth special attention is the pattern of the black dial – its texture has been inspired by the checkered plastic grip panels of a Walter PPK, James Bond’s weapon of choice.

Dazzling Beauty: The Omega Constellation Baguette watch

The Omega Constellation Baguette watch, the most elegant and precious member of the Constellation collection, represents a fine union of refined design and superior watchmaking.

The unique and luxurious Omega Constellation Baguette watch makes an impressive presence. The dial of this lady’s watch displays a one-of-a-kind supernova structure emanating from the diamond Constellation star presented on a mother-of-pearl background at 6 o’clock.  

The watch is in 18k white gold and has 459 very large Wesselton diamonds all over it – from the dial to the case, and all over the bracelet. The dial boasts 146 baguette and trapeze diamonds that are set using a sophisticated “invisible” mounting technique, implying you will see no trace of the 18K white gold used for the watch’s case between the diamonds.

Inside the watch is an Omega Caliber 8421 automatic Co-Axial escapement mechanical movement which reduces the amount of sliding friction in the watch, thus eliminating the need for lubrication and giving an advantage of longer service intervals and improved timekeeping precision. The Si 14 silicon balance spring strengthens shock-resistance, as well as resistance to the effects of outside disturbances.

Omega muses that because each diamond in the watch is hand selected and cut for the piece, if a diamond would require replacement, the process would take as long as making an entire new watch as a stone would need to be selected to make a new watch.

John F. Kennedy, George Clooney, Nicole Kidman and Cindy Crawford and many other celebrities were found to have been lost in the beauty of these gorgeous watches.

Passion to Go Diving: The Omega 1/1 Sea Master Ploprof

The Omega 1/1 Sea Master Ploprof, a spectacular and elegant dive watch, is newly unveiled by Omega. This watch is completely made in 18 karat gold. It is a replica of the stainless steel watch made in the 1970s.

The Omega Seamaster has a rubber strap with grooves in white color. The Omega signature can be found on the white grooves. The bezel is overlaid with white sapphire and bears the commemorative mark of 1/1only watch. To enhance the readability of time in any light conditions the indicating hands of the hour is made of rose gold and is coated with super luminova.

The master piece incorporates Omega 8501 caliber manufactured in-house. The time tested co-axial escapement movement is adopted in the watch. The free spring balance wheel has the capacity to beat at 25,200 vibrations per hour. A 60 hours power reserve is an added feature of this stunning beauty. The Omega 1/1 Seamaster Ploprof is provided with an 8500 caliber decorative pattern and is certified by the COSC. The watch has under gone different tests under varying temperatures and positions by the manufacturers before being declared as a chronometer.

The date and time can be adjusted by pulling a screw accommodated in the 9 o clock position under a protective buffer in the crown. The positioning of the crown does not prevent the free movement of the wrist and is well protected against any accident. The time can be adjusted to different time zones by a special provision of co-axial escapement. It has a distinguishing feature in its oversized case and a push button placed securely in the rotating bezel. The surface is texture finished with proper brushing. The apt marking 1/1 denotes that after the auction in September 2009 this watch will not be available. The watch is water- resistant until 1200 meters. The dimensions of the watch though look big with a width of 55 mm and thickness of 17.5 mm the sea faring qualities are appreciable. The only 1/1 watch will be auctioned in Monaco in September.

I think this watch is pretty beautiful. The white strap is just like the silver sands, wearing it, you’ll feel like walking on the soft sand-beach. And its positioning of the screw shows Omega’s care for its wearer’s feeling. The time tested co-axial escapement movement provides this model reliable precision.

Have Smelt a bouquet of Superior Wine: New OMEGA Railmaster

omega-railmaster.jpg

The original Railmaster watch, with its robust casing that allows it to withstand magnetic fields, is pretty awesome. OMEGA has a newer version of it that doesn’t include the insane casing but still has all of the good looks attached to the watch. It’s beautiful, right?

This watch, in my perspective, has a gorgeous but loe-profile look. You may have seen many similar models before, like you’ve seen this one several years ago or just in your dream ever. The dial plate in black, with markers in white, presents a feel of both maturity and vigor. This watch can fit men at the age ranging from 29 to 99. What I myself like most is the wine-red leather strap. You may even feel like that you’ve smelt a bouquet of the best wines from Bordeaux when you are staring at the Railmaster.

The Railmaster was first released in 1957 as part of the famous Omega technical “master” triumvirate, alongside the Seamaster and the Speedmaster models. The Railmaster heralded a double-housing case and special dial design that helped it withstand extreme magnetic fields, making it useful for railroad engineers, scientists, electricians and technicians. The modern interpretation of the Railmaster unfortunately lacks the same technical features as its predecessor, but fortunately it’s still a very handsome watch.

Born to Be Sporty: Omega Constellation Quartz Chronograph(the sportier titanium version)

cons2.jpg

Offered a black rubber strap by Omega, this timepiece Omega Constellation Quartz Chronograph inherits a sporty spirit.

The Omega Constellation Quartz Chronograph is available in two versions – either in titanium or in red gold. The bezel of the sportier titanium version of the timepiece is rubber-coated.
The dial of both models has an interesting colour and structure – it was blackened by PVD coating. The black dial is a perfect background for two counters at 3 and 6 o’clock, forming a figure of eight. The dial of the Omega Constellation Quartz Chronograph also features a date display window between 4 and 5 o’clock.

The hour markers and the Dauphine style hands of the watch are coated with Super-Luminova to ensure that that the watch will be glowing brightly even in the dark..

For those who enjoy sports , this will be a cool watch to suit their sports look. It’s 100% vigorous.

I myself like the black rubber strap, because this rubber material will be still very comfortable to wear even when you sweat after doing sports. It won’t be sticky to your skin. And the dial plate is simple and generous, which will be quite convenient for you to know the time, after all, most people will expect a quick glance could make the time known when they are playing sports.
