Thank you so much Jack! Appreciate your greetings and compliments. Cheers! Abel
Just for the pleasure of sharing a few shots…
… taken last Sunday during first day wearing my Planet Ocean Seamaster 600 4th Generation. I got it past week but had to wait till Saturday afternoon to spare a time to fit its bracelet to my wrist. Have a nice week dear friends! Abel ...
Congratulations on your new Planet Ocean Seamaster 600 4th Generation.
Those are so great shots of it and I really like this version with no date and a bolder more striking look, wear and enjoy it in good health. Marc
Hello dear Marc! Thanks a lot for your kind comments and good wishes. Yes, no date and no He valve makes a big positive difference in my opinion. The case has a modern design which...
... breakes the connection with previous generations. A new watch I would say. Cheers! Abel
Ultra Deep waves hello to his new cousin . . .
. . . Down Argentine Way . . . . . . from So Cal, LA! ...
That is a BADASS hunk of steel!
So do the new watches have an He valve? How are they working this?
Massive amounts of a special steel alloy . . .
. . . does the trick for Ultra Deep. Brute force, nothin' else.
Both the Ultra Deep and the new Generation SM PO do not have the traditional external He Valve. As our dear Art well says the special reinforced case and type of steel makes the trick...
... and I suspect the glass design and sealing is also contributes to the possibility of abandon the traditional valve. Cheers! Abel
I guess my surreptitious question is
does this meet cosc certification requirements? Not sure if a valve is required.
Hi Myles!! This watch meets METAS certification which it seems to me more strict than COSC certification. The existance or not of an He Valve has no incidence in the accuracy...
... of a watch. He valves came to be a solution to the problem experimented in their watches by professional divers (saturation divers working at great depth and breathing Helium gas mixtures.) They stay living in diving chambers at working depths till th...
Wow dear Art!! You always suprise me! I wonder how you do to find these little great pearls of films from the past! Awesome dancers... acrobats? ... wow! Just breathtaking scene of dancing.
Thanks my dear friend for the film and the salute from your stunning Ultra Deep which must be the Big Cousin of the new SM PO in this great LA shot. A big Hug for you my dear Art! Abel
The Nicolas Brothers dance routine . . .
. . . in Down Argentine Way (1940) was so well received by the public that they were given a lucrative contract by the studio. It's one of the most famous routines in Hollywood history.
Very nice, dear Abel! 👍
Saw it just yesterday in a window, had no time to try it on, but surely soon. It is a very nice, strong Omega diver! 💪 Congrats and enjoy!
This Planet Ocean looks wonderful!
Congratulations again, Abel, and thanks for sharing these photos with us. Best, Emmanuel
Nice!!!
How do you feel it wears compared to the previous PO? I have that one and briefly tried on the latest one but as you have had it on your wrist longer I’m curious as I’m waiting for a few more iterations…
Hello again dear Myles: I own two examples (42 mm case size) from the first generation and now this fourth generation which is a completely different watch. The three previous generations...
... shared a similar design, date and He Valve which lacks the new watch. Also the rounded case and classic Lyre lugs are gone and the case is more modern and rectilinear and angular design. Then, the watch looks and wears different and looks bigger thoug...
Hello my dear friend Yacomino!! Thank you so much for your message! I like the watch very much and it took a lot of thinking before deciding which bezel variant to choose.
The orange bezel and numerals is beautiful and truly stunning. But I discarded that option because I already own an orange version of the First Generation. Then I thought the black version was the one for me as I was looking for a more discreet option. Bu...
Thanks for sharing how you picked that color my friend! It does look stunning!
While I a, always drawn to orange, after seeing your picture the blue bezel version is very tempting as well and maybe more versatile then the orange…enjoy yours!
Hello again dear friend Yacomino. It´s a pleasure to share with you my personal impressions about the different bezel colors.
Anyway, this is a very personal matter and best thing is always to view them in the metal and decide which looks better on your wrist under your personal point of view and preferences. I must say that it is the first time in buying watches that I had to v...
Dear Abel, for me this is
one of the best Omegas and one of the most beautiful diving watches today. And it has no date which is a big plus for this dial. Wear it with joy and in good health Thomas
Hello dear Thomas! Thank you so much for your kind message. Appreciate so much your compliments and good wishes!
Yes, it is a beautiful watch. I like the date and the He Valve are gone. I feel a bit too shiny for a tool watch, but I understand that nobody buys today a diving watch to actually dive with it. Moreover, most guys buying diving watches will never take th...
Thank you so much dear friend KM! I´ve been wearing it since last Sunday and enjoying it so much.
I love it. I intend to post my impressions next week. I like it very much. I like the no date dial, I like the external He Valve is gone. I find it a bit too shiningcase and bracelet for a sport/tool watch. But overall I find it fantastic. Best cordial re...
Very nice my dear Abel!!!
And those shots in the water are wonderful!!! Enjoy your new Planet Ocean in the best health. René
