Omega Drops Two New Deep Black Seamaster Planet Ocean Worldtimers—Here’s What’s New

Omega continues to push the boundaries of dive watch innovation with the latest additions to the Deep Black Series of its Planet Ocean line. These two new Seamaster Planet Ocean Worldtimer models feature striking color accents—one in turquoise and the other in gray—offering a bold aesthetic while maintaining the high-performance specifications expected from Omega’s professional-grade dive watches.

Bold Ceramic Case and Unparalleled Durability

Like the rest of the Deep Black Series, both new models feature a robust black ceramic case measuring 45.50mm in diameter, 18.90mm in height, and 54.40mm lug-to-lug. The case showcases a brushed finish, complemented by a sapphire crystal for superior scratch resistance. The unidirectional ceramic bezel is laser-ablated with a polished relief scale, featuring a pip lume at 12 o’clock that emits a green glow in the dark alongside the minute hand.

A fluted crown at 3 o’clock and a Helium Escape Valve at 10 o’clock, both adorned with turquoise or gray ceramic inlays, enhance the watch’s functionality for professional divers. The screwed open case back incorporates Omega’s proprietary NAIAD lock system, ensuring optimal alignment and security. With an impressive 600m (2,000ft) water resistance, this timepiece is built for extreme underwater conditions.

Laser-Ablated Dial with Worldtimer Functionality

The multi-layered dial incorporates a titanium center that is laser-ablated with a varnished depiction of Earth as seen from the North Pole. Surrounding this feature is a rotating black-and-white 24-hour ring, essential for tracking different time zones. The black honeycomb-textured disc holds applied hour markers and bold hands, all filled with Super-LumiNova (SLN) that glows turquoise in the dark for optimal legibility. An embossed Omega logo at 12 o’clock adds a refined touch, while a 24-city inner bezel provides easy world time reference.

Differences Between the Turquoise and Gray Variants

The main distinction between the two new Seamaster Planet Ocean Worldtimer models lies in their color schemes:

• Turquoise Variant: Features turquoise-painted ocean details and outer 24-city ring. The hands have a brushed finish and are filled with white SLN.
• Gray Variant: Features a gray-painted ocean and outer 24-city ring. The hands have a black polished finish and are filled with the new gray SLN.

Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Caliber 8938

Both watches are powered by the Co-Axial Caliber 8938 automatic movement, a METAS-certified Master Chronometer offering exceptional performance. The movement is resistant to magnetic fields up to 15,000 Gauss, ensuring reliability in various conditions. It operates at a frequency of 25,200 Vph, providing a precision of 0/+5 seconds per day. With a dual-barrel design, the movement delivers an impressive 60-hour power reserve, making it a robust and dependable choice for frequent travelers and divers alike.

Integrated Rubber Strap and Pricing

Completing the package, both models come on a black integrated rubber strap with a sailcloth texture and turquoise/gray detailing. The strap is secured with a ceramic and titanium folding clasp, offering both durability and comfort.

The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Worldtimer in both turquoise and gray variants is now available for purchase at €16,700.
