Starting with my largest (wrist) watch.

This, is one of my favorites. I clearly remember when I first saw it: I used to work on Long Island and come back to Connecticut each weekend. I saw it on a billboard north of the city, on 95. The new Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean.

I wasn’t crazy about the name, but coming off the Pierce Brosnan bond watch this was (and is!) stellar. Note I liked the blue bond watch before the turn of the century, and I had a white faced GMT during that era (because I saw so many blue ones). I miss that watch sometimes but legibility wasn’t the best actually. 

Fast forward a couple years and I’m at the maul with a couple good friends and I decide to pop into an Omega jeweler there. They had a pre owned all black 45.5mm planet ocean on the bracelet. I wanted the “big” one, and still enjoy it, but I think a 42mm version would be even more perfect. I had a rubber strap put on because it just plain looks better that way.

The Orange version shown on that billboard looked awesome at the time, but I thought it would fall out of fashion in time, and it has, as far as I’m concerned. 

Mine is the first generation. Aluminum bezel inset and painted numerals. The omega logo is applied, like the vintage dials. I appreciate that detail. The newer ceramic bezels and applied numerals are arguably better, but not to me. 

This has been back to Omega once in the ten or more years I’ve owned it. NJ service center did a fantastic job, and only replaced what I authorized. Light touch up on the case and it’s been perfect ever since.

Nice watch.

I am dangerously getting interested in buying me a co-axial, not to mention the chrono grade movement.

Wear it in good health.

Best wishes.

Thank you Joe. 
 

I believe all the co-axial movements are chronometer grade. Certainly capable of it 

I had bought (and later re-sold)  a water-logged 2500 years ago to learn about. Very similar to the 2892 it is based on, so one in need of service might be a good avenue for you.

That is my favorite iteration of the Planet Ocean, though in the midsized case. I agree that the blue Pierce Brosnan watch is nice, I think I would not be able to get to reading those hands. The 42mm of your watch with the 2500D movement is a bit of a grail watch for me. Very nice and thanks for the post.
