Omega Planet Ocean 600M Co-axial Master Chronometer GMT 43.5 mm Black Dial (215.33.44.22.01.001)

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 Master Chronometer GMT pays homage to OMEGA’s dive watch heritage.

This model, with its scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, features a black ceramic dial with Arabic numerals, a date window at the 3 o’clock position and a central GMT hand. Mounted on the 43.5 mm stainless steel case is the world’s first polished bi-ceramic black and white bezel. Here, the numerals and scaling are delivered in contrasting colours to separate night from day.

Other features include an alveol screw-in caseback and a black leather strap with rubber lining.

The OMEGA Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M Master Chronometer GMT is water resistant to 60 bar (600 metres / 2000 feet), and has a helium-escape valve. The OMEGA Master Chronometer calibre 8906 at the heart of this timepiece can be seen through the transparent caseback. To achieve Master Chronometer status, it has passed the 8 rigorous tests set by METAS (The Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology).

Features

• Anti‑magnetic

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

• Bi‑directional rotating bezel

  A bezel which can be turned clockwise or anti-clockwise. Rotating bezels can be used to time events, measure elapsed times, or read second or third time zones.

• 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.

• GMT and Worldtimer

  A watch with an additional 24-hour hand or 24-hour disc. Particularly useful for wearers who wish to track the hours in two time zones.

• 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.

• Time zone function

  Allows the hour hand to be easily adjusted to different time zones without stopping the watch.

• Transparent case back

  A transparent case back – frequently made of sapphire – makes it possible to see the movement inside the watch.
