This replica Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean GMT the black dial and bezel with orange trim that includes orange colored Arabic numerals. You get the conservative look of the mostly black dial, with a hint more sportiness with the orange numerals.
There is also the orange-tipped GMT hand as well as “GMT” label on the dial. For review I have a version of the watch on the high-end rubber strap, but of course the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean is only truly complete on the matching metal bracelet. Having said that I really so also like the strap. Surely you can have the watch with both, but at this time there isn’t a quick strap changing system that some other brands such as IWC have been building into their watches. I only say this because in the future it would be great if Omega made it more convenient to seamlessly go from a strap to a bracelet.
The classic design of the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean case never seems to look out of place or anything but handsome. The mostly brushed or satin-finished case has polished flanks made up of swoopy lines that help emphasize its shape. The lugs remind me a bit of big cat claws and it wouldn’t be an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean without the helium release valve. The mostly vestigial nature of this latter feature has been well documented, but it nevertheless adds a sense of traditional style to the design in the same way that tachymeter scales do on many racing chronograph watches (like the Speedmaster).
With the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean GMT Omega debuted its caliber 8605 Co-Axial automatic chronometer, which is based on the 8500 movement family. Omega fits it with a lot of desirable tech, including, of course, their lauded Co-Axial escapement technology. The movement also has some silicon parts, including the escapement as well as the hairspring. Like other Omega-made movements the 8605 is beautifully made with a luscious variety of polished surfaces and a grand presentation that befits a timepiece of this value. So another good reason Omega designed the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean with an exhibition caseback window. The movement of course is COSC Chronometer certified for accuracy.
