Wristwatch series by [[Omega]]

Since May [[2005]] Omega offers with the **Seamaster Planet Ocean** from the //Seamaster// series a [[dive watch]] with distinct design and high quality engineering. Visually similar to the first //Omega Seamaster// from the year [[1957]] the inner workings of the watch reflect modern watchmaking technology --- it is the first [[dive watch]] at all which is equipped with Omega's revolutionary [[co-axial escapement]]. The Swiss watch manufacturer links a long history with the world of the seas: Since the 1930's Omega develops dive watches, which accompanied famous oceanographers and divers such as [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_Mayol|Jacques Mayol]] on their expeditions into the depths.

The current //Seamaster Planet Ocean// models are available in two different case sizes with 45.5 mm (big size) or 42 mm diameter. The only difference is that the chasing on the edge of the [[bezel]] is a bit finer on the smaller model. Brushed [[stainless steel]] in combination with the colors black or orange gives the unidirectional rotating [[bezel]] with a [[luminous]] dot at 12 o'clock its distinctive sporty look. The rugged timepiece is equipped with [[screw-in crown]] and screwed-in caseback and [[waterproof]] to 600 meters. Unique feature of a real [[dive watch]] is the helium escape valve at 10 o'clock - during decompression in a diving bell the valve releases each helium atom and so protects the watch from damage.

The dial painted in mat black with applied hour markers and [[luminous]] Arabic numerals at 12, 6 and 9 o'clock and a date window at 3 o'clock is clearly designed and easy to read. The [[faceted]] hour and minute hand with arrow heads also have [[Superluminova]] coating, while the arrowhead of the seconds hand is orange and lets recognize the exact second time at a glance. A [[sapphire crystal]] with [[anti-glare treatment]] protects the watch from outside influences.

The Seamaster Planet Ocean is the first dive watch that is equipped with the calibre [[Omega 2500]] with [[co-axial escapement]]. This new escapement developed by George Daniels and made ready for series production by Omega reduces the friction of the power-transmission parts of the movement and so extends the life of the watch. The movement has a power reserve of 48 hours and is lavishly decorated with [[rhodinated]] surfaces, [[circular graining]], [[Geneva stripes]] and gilded carvings. On the case back in stainless steel the name of the watch, the Omega symbol and the seahorse medallion of the Seamaster series are incorporated.
