The Seamaster Planet Ocean 42.00 mm, calibre 8500

OMEGA’s Seamaster Planet Ocean line of watches is upgraded and now each of the models is equipped with one of the brand's revolutionary family of in-house Co-Axial calibres – the 8500/8501, the 8520/8521 or the new 9300 chronograph. The Seamaster Planet Ocean family embraces professional diver’s watches which are now fitted with the Si 14 silicon balance spring and reliable enough for a full four-year warranty.

The unveiling of the upgraded Seamaster Planet Ocean collection was held on the Italian island of Capri. Like every Planet Ocean, the new watches are all set for underwater journey and are set with unidirectional rotating bezels, helium escape valves and water resistance to 60 bar / 600 metres / 2000 feet.

The watch is lightweight and highly resistant to shocks. Completed with lacquered blue dial and integrated blue rubber strap, it is driven by the Co-Axial calibre 9300. It is also available with a titanium bracelet.

Why in the world did they not show the Seamaster Planet Ocean that will have the black ceramic bezel (without liquid metal) and with the matte black face. I'm confident this will be the most popular version. (I've already pre-ordered one.)
