Exploring the Depths of Innovation

The OMEGA Seamaster Planet Ocean 600m Co-Axial GMT "Deep Black" represents the pinnacle of diving and GMT functionality combined with cutting-edge ceramic technology. Designed to endure extreme conditions while providing precise timekeeping, this model is both a technical marvel and a statement of style.

Key Features

• Design and Construction:

• Case: The watch features a robust 45.5mm case crafted from a single block of black ceramic. This material is used for the case, unidirectional bezel, and dial, enhancing both durability and aesthetic appeal. The glossy and brushed finish of the case reflects the dark, mysterious nature of the deep ocean.
• Dial: The black ceramic dial is adorned with Arabic numerals and incorporates a GMT ring for tracking multiple time zones. The hands are made of 18K white gold and coated with white Super-LumiNova, ensuring visibility in low-light conditions.
• Bezel and Details: The unidirectional bezel is also made from black ceramic, featuring a Liquidmetal™ diving scale for enhanced durability and precision. The OMEGA logo on the crown is similarly decorated with Liquidmetal™.

• Innovative Features:

• Naiad Lock: A new, patented ceramic Naiad Lock system ensures the engraved wording on the screw-in caseback remains perfectly aligned. This technical innovation is a testament to OMEGA’s dedication to precision and craftsmanship.
• Caseback: The caseback features an alveol pattern and is made from black ceramic, adding to the watch’s overall aesthetic while maintaining its robustness.

• Strap and Comfort:

• Strap: The watch is presented on a black rubber strap with contrasting stitching and an anti-bacterial treatment on the lining, ensuring comfort and hygiene during extended wear.

• Water Resistance and Movement:

• Water Resistance: Capable of withstanding pressures up to 60 bar (600 metres), making it suitable for professional diving.
• Calibre 8906: Driven by the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8906, this movement provides exceptional accuracy and resilience. It is resistant to magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss and features GMT and time zone functions. The movement includes a free-sprung balance with a silicon balance spring and two barrels mounted in series, offering automatic winding in both directions. The movement is luxuriously finished with rhodium-plated rotor and bridges, showcasing Geneva waves in arabesque.

With its advanced ceramic construction, precision movement, and diving capabilities, it stands as a symbol of OMEGA’s maritime legacy and a tool designed for the most demanding environments.

FEATURES

24 Hours GMT: A GMT function means that the watch has a second hour hand which completes one full rotation in 24 hours and a 24-hour index on the dial. Particularly useful for wearers who wish to track two time zones.

Anti-Magnetic: The movement is unaffected by exposure to strong magnetic fields, even those greater than 1.5 tesla (15,000 gauss).

Automatic Watch: A self-winding watch or automatic watch uses a mechanical movement whose main spring is wound automatically by the natural motion of the wearer's arm.

Ceramic Watch: A casebody created from a single block of pressed ceramic, which is first heated in an oven and then three-dimensionally machined. OMEGA's ceramic watch cases are extremely scratch-resistant and shock-resistant.

Chronometer: Label given to a watch which has undergone precision tests and received a certificate from an official body (COSC).

Date: The day of the month, displayed in a window on a watch dial at the 3 or 6 o’clock position, or within a subdial at 9 o'clock.

Helium Escape Valve: Decompression system which allows helium to escape from inside the watch when the watch is worn for professional use in pressure chambers. (Long-term underwater work, crude oil exploration, etc.)

Master Chronometer Certified: Guaranteeing the Swiss industry’s highest standard of precision, performance and magnetic-resistance, as set by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS).

Screw-In Crown: Self-locking crown, screwed into the tube of the case, used for highly water resistant divers' watches.

Transparent Case Back: A transparent case back - frequently made of sapphire - makes it possible to see the movement inside the watch.

Unidirectional Rotating Bezel: A bezel which turns in only one direction. 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.
