New Release: The Fourth Generation Top Replica Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Watches, All New For Its 20th Anniversary

In a world of iterative updates passed off as major news, it’s refreshing to see a brand (any brand) fully redesign replica Omega watches UK . What’s more, this time, such an act is coming from Omega. While certainly more willing to embark on a mission of change than Rolex, Omega still often gives us incremental updates. But for the 20th anniversary of the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean, the Swiss brand has endeavored to deliver a full rework of the heavy hitting dive watch. The new fourth generation Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean maintains plenty, but the case is almost unrecognizable — and that may be a good thing.

The original 1:1 quality replica Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean watches were introduced in 2005 as a more robust and technically advanced alternative to the Seamaster 300M, which remains the brand’s most popular diver. It got a refresh six years on in 2011, and then again in 2016 for a third update, with today marking the start of its latest generation. But the updates for the previous generations could be best described as tweaks and facelifts. For the fourth generation, Omega has gone absolutely wild on the case, though the dial has been spared and only given minor updates (except for one you may have already noticed).

Let’s start with the case. Gone are the sleek, organic lines and flowing curves that defined not only the Planet Ocean, but really the entire Seamaster line (save for the Ploprof). I’d argue Omega’s signature element, the thing that without question defines its designs and whenever seen elsewhere makes people scream “copy!” is the lug design. The bombé or lyre lugs that twist inward can be found on basically every modern sports perfect Omega copy watches the brand offers. And now they’re just gone. Poof. In their place, and in the place of seemingly every curve that once graced the PO is a much more aggressive, angular design that (for me) immediately recalled recent Grand Seikos. It’s Grand Seiko, not Omega, that most recognizably uses facets and sharp angles — executed and finished flawlessly. This seems like a play at that (and perhaps even some popular microbrands like RZE), but with less refinement and with greater divergence from the rest of the brand’s lineup.

The new case measures 42mm across and 13.79mm thick. That’s a significant change from the last generation, which was 43.5mm wide and a truly gargantuan 16.1mm thick. Because of the new form factor, it’s also slightly shorter from lug to lug, though it’s not clear by how much. Another change is the bezel, which is much flatter and has more defined grooves that should provide an even better grip. The bezel insert is still ceramic and it’s available in blue, black, or orange, but the design of the timing scale has been tweaked, and it no longer echoes the look of the minute hashes on the dial. The AAA fake Omega watches remain rated to 600m of water resistance and has a sapphire crystal and a screw down crown. In previous models, the crown was nestled into the flow of the case, but now there are proper crown guards; that should help with grip and durability. And no more helium escape crown! Celebrate!

What I think is absolutely shocking is that Omega has failed once again to deliver a quick-release system for its straps. What an incredibly huge missed opportunity. The new Planet Oceans are offered on either the steel bracelet (with angles to match the case), or a new rubber strap in black or orange with steel end-links. Both give the appearance of being integrated, though neither is. But that’s undoubtedly what 1:1 Omega fake watches are gaming at here, as I doubt many people want a Constellation. The bracelet is a bit slimmer than the old one (to go with the slimmer case), and it does have a built in micro-adjustment mechanism with six positions. But why not use this huge redesign to introduce a proprietary strap attachment? Almost every other brand (big and small) has some kind of quick-release mechanism, proprietary or not, making it a standard that the brand has fallen short of without explanation.

The dial has been mostly left alone. The big arrow handset is still there, the trapezoidal hour markers are still there. There are really just two big changes. The first is the omission of a date, which has been featured (to the best of my knowledge) on every standard PO to date (the Planet Ocean Ultra Deep is also dateless). That provides better balance but at the expense of utility (though, you know, just use your phone or be generally aware of the passage of time). The other change is the Arabic numerals marking the cardinal hours. The color depends on the China replica Omega watches you get (orange for orange, white for the blue bezel, and shiny rhodium for the black), but the font has been reworked to better complement the new case, including an open design for the 6 and 9.

Rolling the case over, you get the titanium Naiad lock caseback (that just means it always aligns) that’s etched with a relatively simple depiction of the Seamaster’s mascot, the hippocampus. This fourth generation Swiss replica Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean watches are equipped with the Omega 8912 caliber, which isn’t new and has been featured on both the Ultra Deep and Ploprof models. Equipped with a silicon balance spring, Omega’s co-axial escapement, and a 60-hour power reserve at 25,200vph thanks to a twin-barrel design. It also has METAS Master Chronometer certification, which ensures accuracy to 0/+5 seconds per day. Best of all, though, it allows you to change the hour hand independently, which is one of the most underrated complications on three-hand watches.

This is a huge evolution for the Planet Ocean that makes it stand out from basically every other best selling Omega clone watches, and particularly from the rest of the Seamaster collection. In a way, this creates separation like that which exists with the funky Ploprof, but without the charm or history. More curious is the fact that other Planet Oceans still exist with the old case design, so it will be interesting to see whether those are phased out or not. While I certainly imagine the GMTs will be replaced with the new design, it’s harder to imagine the brand doing so for the Ultra Deep, which is only a few years old and a great feat of engineering. In any case, the new Planet Ocean is here and you’ll just need to deal with it. Pricing for the fourth generation Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean is set at $8,600 USD on the black rubber strap for the black and blue bezel models, $8,900 USD on an orange or black rubber strap for the orange model (the orange is apparently harder to make), $9,200 USD on a bracelet in black or blue, and $9,500 USD on a bracelet for the orange.
