With an elevated mechanism and look, this Planet Ocean is easily one of the best diver's watches we have come across. Doesn't the blue tone emulate a tasteful sensibility? We thought so too.
Why we love it
It's pretty hard to find a watch enthusiast looking for a diver's watch to be not taken by the Planet Ocean series from the Omega Seamaster family. First introduced in 2005, Planet Ocean was the first Omega watch to be equipped with the now-popular Co-Axial escapement. This reference 232.92.42.21.03.001 is an aesthetically dynamic model that comes with a blue ceramic unidirectional bezel featuring a diving scale. Mimicking the characterful mien of the bezel is the robust rubber strap with visible white stitching. This 600m water-resistant timepiece clearly delivers on all the requisites of a great diving watch, conspicuous contrast being one of them, here achieved through the bezel.
Planet Ocean's distinctive elements that make it instantly recognisable are all present in this reference. The characteristic bevelled lugs, the knurled crown, and the helium escape valve at 10 o'clock - all contribute to making this watch unmistakable. The titanium case is 42mm wide and houses a blue dial where luminous hour indexes and hands are paired with Arabic numerals at 12, six, and nine o'clock. The watch displays the date through a window at three o'clock.
This reference is equipped with calibre 8500 visible through the exhibition caseback. It is a self-winding mechanical movement that is a certified chronometer. The beautiful Cotes de Geneve pattern is present throughout, and the two barrels ensure a whopping power autonomy of 60 hours. It also offers high precision, resistance to magnetic fields, and reliability.
While the rubber strap on this pre-owned Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean shows good condition, there are minor nicks present on the case, caseback, and clasp.
Provenance
At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
Please note all our transactions with sellers are conducted via registered banking channels, accompanied by a signed affidavit, banking proof, and PAN card.
A specific affidavit stating the watch is not a stolen property and that all applicable duties have been paid is also obtained from the seller and is available for buyers in case of legal requirements.
We strive to build trust through transparency and diligence, outlining our verification process and the inherent limitations. Our commitment to integrity shapes every transaction, prioritising your confidence while acknowledging the realities of the pre-owned watch market.
