    Nathan isn’t the Seamaster 300M (not the Planet Ocean) the competitor to the Rolex Submariner while the Planet Ocean is the competitor to the Sea Dweller?

    i have the new seamaster 300pro blk dial rubber strap sedna gold $8,300 and am saving for the 39mm planet ocean brown ceramic brown leather hybrid rubber strap all gold sedna case $26k. my wife has the white gold with diamonds constellation white rubber strap $16k and my sister has aqua terra with rubbies as hours red leather strap looks pink with sedna gold $10k. were omega family because omega store is by our home. we went rolex but had nothing in-stock waiting list of 3yrs. thank you for the video. my wealthy friend has the platinum tourbillon with diamonds omega $780,000 and all gold speedmaster $42k.

    A more apt comparison for the Planet Ocean would be the Sea Dweller. The Omega answer to the Submariner is really the 300M, not the Planet Ocean.
    Other than that I loved the video! These brand guides are great

    wearing my speedmaster racing with the 9900 movement right now. And I can say that after 6 months of ownership, mountain biking, working out, sitting on the side for a few days, it has stayed exactly 2.0 seconds fast per day, without fail. The master chronometer movements are truly remarkable for anyone who is considering getting one.

    I love my 1861 Speedy but my favourite is a vintage 1960's Seamaster Chronostop with the Regatta dial. So much character and it still looks and performs amazing. I have it on a distressed brown leather strap and it always looks good on.

  • @JDA97367

    I own two Omegas. Traditional Seamaster wave dial and a Speedmaster Reduced. I can't say I have a favorite as they both get equal wrist time, but I do love them both. Biggest selling point to me was I could get two watches for the same money as one Rolex. Pretty easy choice to make.

    Probably the best watch video I've ever seen. It provides a great overview of a chaotic lineup, and still manages to squeeze in the movement differences for those of us that also care about the technology inside the watches. And all this done in a nice quick tempo with information to the point.

    11:50, thickness of the PO, i think it's more of a competitor to the Seadweller, since this watch also comes in *enormous* sizes.

    Luckily I have a large wrist and can carry off a large watch comfortably. I have a seamaster ploprof 1200m. It came with the mesh strap but I got the orange rubber strap put on it. It’s big, thick and heavy and a beautiful watch. It’s also quite rare (compared to say the planet ocean variations) and I have never met anyone else wearing one. It attracts plenty of good comments and is a conversation starter.

    Fantastic video....very educative and unbiased....Omega as a brand offers you all sorts of watches and movements...and none of them seem dated....I have just bought a seamaster 300 dive watch(Silver dial with blue bazel on a rubber strap) and not only is it super comfortable but also addictive to look at and wear.....also fairly reasonably priced when compared to a Rolex.....one thing that I do want to counter here is that it was with the seamaster 300 dive that they(Omega) wished to counter the submariner with...not the Seamaster 600....with that they wanted to counter the rolex sea dweller

  • @SevGW

    People will never consider Omega a true hype watch alternative because there are just too many models and too many editions. But this is pretty much what Nicolas Hayek wanted, when he founded the Swatch Group back in the day: Great Swiss made watches for everybody. But unfortunately people desire most what is rare. Not necessarily impossible to get but certainly more rare than 1600 readily available Models (except some special editions). But who knows knows and watch lovers and nerds can enjoy their Omegas. Great video guys!

    Excellent video, well structured and clear. Well done ! I have just added an Omega to my watches and that is the Seamaster titanium NTTD as I found it so unique and absolutely irresistible. This is a very discrete watch, very well camouflaged, under the radar, feather light, slim bezel, slimmer profile aside from the beautiful doomed crystal. And of course it has a COSC & METAS certified co-axial movement. The co-axial movement has a direct link to George Daniel who I consider a horological heroe.

    The 2000 ft water resistance for the Planet Ocean is very misleading. I have the model shown at 12:00 and whilst getting it repaired for its second flood was told by the Omega tech that the 2000 ft is cumulative not per exposure. Was confirmed by Omega. Not much good for a dive trip

    It wasn't mentioned but the Grey Side of the Moon is the best looking chronograph I have ever seen. Amazingly, the case is ceramic rather than steel but you won't know until you feel it. Only downside is that it's also gigantic! But that's chronographs for you.
    I would also rep the white dial Seamaster Professional 300m. I didn't get the hype around the SMP300 in general until I saw this walking past a boutique, and bear in mind I grew up on Brosnan as Bond. Yeah, this one is the best and it's one of the best executed white dials I've ever seen as it has a brilliant sheen to it. The markers have black outlines done in a probably v. clever way, making the watch extremely legible. The contrast with the black ceramic bezel is icing on its design perfection.

    One of the best features of the Speedmaster Professional is the fact it’s missing a distracting date window. I think so many watches would look much cleaner without a date window.

    • @diegoborgonovo5588
      @diegoborgonovo5588 3 роки тому +5

      I respectfully disagree. I check the date on my watch occasionally, and I never have the need for a chronometer (and few people do, really). The date window is usually small, while the small dials in all chronometers impact very heavily on readability. As a diver, I find the bezel in the dive watches extremely useful but out of the water I prefer a "cleaner" look. My favourite Omega, the 2002 Rail Master. A beauty. No date!
