Ref. 217.30.42.21.01.003 On my 16 cm wrist , the 42 x 13,75 mm case is surprisingly wearable . Probably due to the reasonable 47,50 mm lug-to-lug . The orange bezel and numerals are undoubtedly eye-catching . The angular , " agressive " design , works wel...  

Yes, if you want the orange bezel to look a little less flashy the black rubber is probably a good choice. Best, Emmanuel

As much as I like Omega, these are not for me. The design is pretty generic and without the brand name on the dial these could be from any brand out there. I guess with my Seamaster 300 Summerblue and the NTTD version of the SMP Professional I am sufficie... 

this Planet Ocean doesn’t seem necessary! Best, Emmanuel

I have played with the new PO a few times now as well and agree with your points. I do like this new variant a lot more than the old one

Best, Emmanuel

Get the black bezel pvded? How and in what color? Best, Emmanuel

...  

47 L2L is better than I anticipated, that said the clasp on the bracelet looks huge. Looking forward to checking it!

but the clasp is too thick. Omega needs to improve this, imo. Best, Emmanuel

Emmanuel, Great post! Recently visited the Omega Boutique on North Michigan Avenue in Chicago. Asked to see the new PO. Robert jumped at my request. He promptly brought an Orange Bezel with Steel Bracelet and a Blue Bezel on Black Rubber. Impression 1: Th... 

I understand your preference for the Blue Bezel variant, but I don't share it. I really thought this variant would be the ideal compromise, but it felt like a mixed bag: not as discreet as the Black, not as lively as the orange. Just, not enough of someth... 

I absolutely agree with you that the black bezel version should have had the white numerals of the blue bezel version. I finally opted for the blue due to the dial but my first decision was to get the black bezel. I preferred de dial of the blue instead a... 

I agree But I don't like that cheapass laser engraving these looked imo much better ...  

Best, Emmanuel

Your observations about the bracelet and the rubber strap are well taken. I want to like the orange bezel — but, simply not warming up to it.

I find this new design quite attractive personally, but probably not to the point of wanting to buy one. Best, Emmanuel

Best, Emmanuel

Best, Emmanuel

On steel, not sure about the orange on orange combo works for me. Maybe black rubber...

but it certainly makes the watch a little less flashy. Best, Emmanuel

As an omegamaniac that owns three PO’s I like the case shape. I do not like the bracelet. It feels sharp and cheap compared to the bracelets on my PO’s. I like the mesh bracelet from NTTD. I would use that one. I like the functionality of the minute marke... 

I hope your wishes will be fulfilled at some point. They should be, as it is certain that other iterations will be made along the way. Best, Emmanuel

There shortly will be a S version for the strap, too. This system is lightyears ahead of the clasp Omega used on their straps from ca. 2016 until now. Thank you very much for your nice report!

But, imo, Omega could still do better as far as the clasps are concerned. At least, that's the part I like the least, personally. Best, Emmanuel

and convenient, but I didn’t pay enough attention to the aesthetic aspect of it, unfortunately…

...  

How could the design department at Omega think "well, this is how a 9000 EUR watch should look like" 😆

This certainly gives one pause for thought and doubt!

Firstly, I hadn’t noticed the edge detail of the solid case back, which is a nice touch even if only for functional purposes (removal). Secondly, from the initial release my immediate preference was for the blue, however, I am somewhat swayed by your opin... 

you have the timepieces in your hand. I personally don't like the mesh bracelet and have always been disappointed by Omega's clasp/strap system for sports watches. The clasp of the Speedmaster Moonwatch is an exception, though, as it is thin and much smal... 

It was touted as a thinner, more elegant PO and unfortunately it did not become that. I find the design striking enough and a sufficient change from what went on before - so far, so good. But the watch could have been three mm thinner while offering the s... 

And I would add that the price point is pretty high, which does not help to consider acquiring such a watch when you don't intend to wear it as your main/daily wrist companion. That said, in person, these models are attractive and, as you say, I'm sure th... 

They do not need to satisfy everyone 😊🤷🏻‍♂️

I have tried on the blue bezel variant with a bracelet and I really liked the look of it. I particularly like the more angular design, which really distinguishes it from the Submariners. Whilst they are all nice, for me the orange is too much and the all ... 

I would feel the same way. But for whatever reason, I felt more attracted to the orange or the black. But the only thing that matters is that each of us finds the one that works for him! Cheers, Emmanuel

...one reviewer had a problem with the strap 'bowing' out and not hugging his wrist...

They should really improve this part of their game. Straps and clasps are a weak point

The case, dial, and bracelet looks striking, and yes, the clasp in the bracelet is huge! Still a fantastic overall! I completely agree with you on the blue, and for me, the orange is a winner!

I must say that I found this new PO attractive. And yes, the orange version is definitely eye-catching ! Best, Emmanuel

That said the orange is very eye catching.

Thank you Larry. Best, Emmanuel

Would be awesome … numerals can stay white. Anyone feels the same?

But it would probably be a little too “Rolex-like”. At least I don’t think I’ve often seen a green bezel done by Omega (but I could be wrong: I’m far from being an expert). Cheers, Emmanuel

Am I seeing double, or did you make the exact same comment on December 27th? You were the first to comment and I replied: cf. above! Cheers, Emmanuel

Best, Emmanuel

What I like: - eye catching bezel, especially orange and to a lesser extent the blue one - symmetry of the four Arabic numerals - angular case design - slimmer case What I don’t like so much: - pricey compared to the competition - in the black bezel versi... 

except maybe concerning the numerals of the black variant: I personally like that they are more discreet. Best, Emmanuel

They are more discreet and that has its charm!

… complete, thorough and beautifully illustrated report about the new SM 600 PO line. I agree with most of your comments on this new watch and it was very interesting to read your perception on this model. I had ordered one from our local Boutique as soon...  

and many thanks for sharing these photos of your beautiful watch! As I have mentioned in my post, during my try on session, I was torn between the eye-catching orange and understated black and the blue had a hard time making a case for itself. But seeing ... 

… comments. My big pleasure to add my view and pictures of this most interesting new offering from Omega. I can easily understand that when evaluating the purchase of a watch different persons will have different views about it and specially with colors. ...
