The 4th Generation Seamaster 600 Planet Ocean ref. 217.30.42.21.01.002 Hello dear friends! After having spent three weeks wearing this watch since its arrival to my collection I would like to share my first impressions. This is a wonderful watch, and thou...  

for sharing your thoughts and experience in such a detailed way. Your Omega divers collection is impressive and this blue bezel Planet Ocean really is a perfect addition. Congratulations and thank you again. Best, Emmanuel

… kind comments on my post. It is my pleasure to share these shots and feelings on this recent addition to my collection. I’m glad you like the new SM and the vintage cousins! Please receive my best cordial regards Abel

It seems you really have a thing for Seamasters and your older generation watches look amazing. I also think the blue bezel looks stunning on your new watch, wear and enjoy it in good health. Marc

Yes I love diving watches both modern and vintage and SM and Submariners in special. Glad to know you like my new SM. Thank you for your kind good wishes! Best cordial regards Abel

Except for the vintage ones. Several of them I have worn to scuba dive. They were meant for that!! And when going to beach or sea holiday places a diving watch is my favorite choice. Glad you liked my post my dear friend! Abrazos fuertes! Abel

.. and your personal successful journey to that wonderful SM-PO ‼️ - What a great watch !- And BTW, my personal fav would also have been the blue bezel, elegant yet refreshing, a bit flamboyant, yet with style - Simply great and big congrats to you for th... 

I’m happy to know you also like the blue bezel version and that you also miss the relief engraving Sea Horse of previous models. Thank you again for your kind greetings and good wishes my dear friend! Best cordial regards Abel You are right… its a minor f... 

… greetings and good wishes! I’m glad you liked my review and watches shown. Agree this is a very attractive watch. Best cordial regards. Abel

Particularly the point about white contrast on the black dial against the blue bezel, the same combo that makes the BLNR a standout 🔵⚪️⚫️

I’m glad you liked my review. Agree with your mention of another great watch from Rolex!! Cheers! Abel

Thank you! The more I look at this model, the more I am liking it. I hated it at first and over time am growing to appreciate it…the blue bezel is my favorite!

Glad you are liking it and specially the blue bezel variant. My pleasure to share my thoughts here. You should try it on your own wrist to definitively fall in love with it ! 😉 Best cordial regards Abel

Strangely enough, the new Planet Ocean (I saw them in the store displays a couple of times this year) reminds me more the old Seamaster 300 (what amazing specimens you own my friend!) than the current divers. Thanks for sharing your experience. Simone

Appreciate so much your kind compliments on my collection. Agree it has a connection with the vintage SM in spite of its angular case. The DNA is there! Best cordial regards Abel

Have a great weekend ahead!

Lots of very good points raised. I guess the relief Seahorse omission was a cost cutting measure, unfortunately 🤷🏻‍♂️ I was personally hoping for - and those hopes were fired up by some early reporting - that Omega decided to make the watch a tad slimmer ... 

Always my big pleasure to share my watches and thoughts here. Absolutely agree with you that the caseback relief image omission was a cost reducing decision. A minor flaw but a very nice feature of previous variant which is lost! The watch is big but a bi...  

May be this is the reason Omega decided to engrave the image. Best cordial regards, Abel

I do agree that the old style case back might have added 0,1mm to the thickness but then Omega still had plenty of room to play with, as the watch in spite of its WR is anything but slender 😉 Don’t get me wrong - I understand that watch brands need to loo... 

Their last Generation of PO had a high end version, the Ultra Deep to be precise. This version was without the relief as well. This version is obiously not about cost cutting, it is the only of the recent versions with the Omega Steel for example. The les... 

… the true reasons of Omega. It is true that Breitling showed the high relief could be made about 25 years ago and our friend’s KM watch proves it. And also it is true as Reuven tells that Omega did abandon the high relief case backs in their Ultra Deep w... 

Namely enjoying the watch 😊

You said you do like the bracelet and mentioned the extension. Dont you think the clasp looks odd with the extension in use? Would really value your opinion because this was the reason i didnt bought it before christmas.

... it makes it a bit thick and big for my taste. But I appreciate the possibility of extending a bracelet whithout having to add or take off a link. When the extension is used all clasps (in all brands) with this feature won´t look nice if its extended t... 

I wouldnt care about the size of the clasp, but that look when the extension is out... but well, your comment helps a lot! I have to agree! Looking forward to more shots from you in the future! All the best, Reuven

I’m happy to try to help with my personal view. But as I always say the prospecting buyer has the last word following his personal taste and view of these details. I will be always happy to participate and post here and appreciate so much your kind feedba... 

As I have mentioned on a few other threads, the fact that omega has made this step is more important than the specific first release… I applaud them for shaking things up and further iterations will I think bear are very interesting fruit. As things stand... 

I´m sure that Omega will surprise us with different variations around this basic design which now is limited to three different bezel colors and some changes in the basic black dial. I also suspect that the new James Bond film not only will bring a new st... 

Very much agree with your sentiments around going & trying the watch on! Also with you on the caseback - shame that it's not in high relief. Enjoy your new watch & thanks for sharing your thoughts on it! Cheers JML

It is my big pleasure to share my thoughts and pictures here. I’m glad to know that you share my feelings about the need to try the watch and about the case back high relief image. Best cordial regards Abel
