Description

It was with OMEGA’s maritime legacy in mind that the brand launched its Planet Ocean line in 2005. The stylish OMEGA Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M pays homage to OMEGA’s dive watch heritage. This model, with its scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, features a black dial with a date window at the 3 o’clock position. The diamond-set, unidirectional rotating bezel is mounted on a 42 mm stainless steel case on a black leather strap. The OMEGA Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M is water resistant to 600 metres / 2000 feet / 60 bar, and has a helium-escape valve. The OMEGA Co-Axial calibre 8500 at the heart of this timepiece can be seen through the transparent caseback.

• Helium escape valveDecompression 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.)
• Screw-in crownSelf-locking crown, screwed into the tube of the case, used for highly water resistant divers' watches.
• Transparent case backA transparent case back - frequently made of sapphire - makes it possible to see the movement inside the watch.
