Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean

Like there's a lot of really, really cool ones.

But the other thing they do that I think is more interesting is they start using the films as a vehicle to launch new collections and new product lines, starting with the Planet Ocean.

And it's interesting.

You're right.

So a few months ago, I started using an app, I can't even remember the name of it, but it's Blue, if that helps anyone, where you track your wrist every single day to figure out what you've been wearing the most, what in your collection gets the most wear overall, And it's helping me to determine which watches I need to get rid of.

Now, the downside of it is, is that my Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean came back from service and since then has gotten 80% of my wear time.

So I think my numbers are skewed and I don't know if the app is doing the trick, but I think that tracking your wears is something that is important for.

So this isn't necessarily a collector thing, but more of an enthusiast thing.

Right.

And with Casino Royale, we, we essentially saw the, the launch of the Planet Ocean, certainly, um, the, the largest kind of push to make it a Bond watch and have it be part of that and, and obviously there was still a, an, a 300 meter in the mix there and, and all that sort of thing.

But 20 years later, it seems like people want a new watch.

And while I think both of these watches are quite handsome, and again, bar- you know, being fair to my position, I don't want to be unfair, I'm not really a, a s- a, a skeleton hand Seamaster guy.

Yeah.

Es- especially when, when, if you're getting a new Bond with the last, you know, with, with two new Bonds ago, we got, with GoldenEye, we got the, the new Seamaster.

With, um, with, uh, Casino Royale and Daniel Craig, we got the Planet Ocean.

What's next?

When I saw this, you know, I thought [inhales] at the beginning, I thought, "Well, it's only gonna be, like, a few Omegas, if any." Uh, maybe the Aqua Terra, right? 'Cause that's the one, the first example that I saw, the Aqua Terra example, or one Aqua Terra out of, like, 10 might have it.

No, it's pretty much everything, from the Planet Ocean, to the Constellation, to the Dark Side of the Moon Speedmasters, uh, De Ville Prestige, the Aqua Terras, like I said, uh, Seamaster Pilot, uh, the, uh, I said the Constellation.

Uh, even the, the Speedmaster Chronoscope has this.

Uh, it's the PloProf.

Well, that's not fair.

It, it, it's, it's that if you're looking at a Planet Ocean or if you're looking at-

Right

... a Bond.

That's a specific limited edition.

The average price is closer to six-ish.

A Planet Ocean on a bracelet is $9,500.

Correct.

And so I really do like the idea of supporting brands that are adding to the conversation in that way and Omega is an interesting one because I feel like they take a lot more swings than something like a Rolex which is going to be extremely conservative.

one of my favorite watches in recent memory was a i want to say it was a 25 000 ceramic case planet ocean gmt with a titanium movement and you know like how many of those could they possibly have made and just the idea that they sunk this r d and this effort into this really esoteric really expensive watch that i you know, I may never encounter in person is something that I think is really cool and something I love to support.

You know, that's funny because one of the common critiques of Omega is that they make too many watches basically, that their SKU number is bloated.

The catalog is confusing for someone who walks in off the street.

I guess, look, they've already got a big catalog, so what's a couple more? If you could, like, what would you like to see Omega doing right now that they're not? I don't know if this is a specific watch you have dreamed up in your head or if it's something more philosophical or meta, but if you were in charge of Omega, what would you sort of

do? Yeah, if...

if i got the keys to the omega factory and could make a single watch it would be a baby ultra deep uh are you familiar with the titanium ultra deep it has like the manta lugs it's similar like a pelagos fxd yeah if they could shrink that guy down to the size of the new fourth gen planet ocean i would be all for that um yeah that would absolutely rip yeah yeah you made a video about that too the other day right Yeah, I am constantly beating the drum for Planet Ocean and for Titanium.

You like the new

It's really funny you bring that up because I also am kind of wearing the watch I throw on when I just don't feel like thinking about the watch.

And that's the Planet Ocean, the good old Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean, original 44 and a half, 45 and a half millimeter dive watch here on this, like that bright red rubber strap that I've been wearing it on quite a bit lately.

And I kind of love it.

Like it just...
