Okay, so I’ve been messing around with this Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M, the 45.5mm one. It’s a beast of a dive watch, and I wanted to see if it really lives up to the hype. Let me tell you about my little adventure with it.
First, I started by just wearing the thing around. You know, getting a feel for it in my daily life. It’s a big watch, no doubt, but it’s surprisingly comfortable on the wrist. I got the stainless steel version with the black dial and bracelet. Looks sharp, not gonna lie. The build quality is solid, as you’d expect from Omega. It feels like it could take a beating. The movement is the 601, and apparently, it is very reliable. It keeps time like a charm and feels good when winding, but they stopped making it in 1970.
Then, I decided to do some digging online, just to see what other people were saying about it. I read through some reviews, and most folks seem to be pretty happy with it. Some say it’s a good investment, others just love the look and feel. I found a couple of reviews that said there are models with sizes between 39.5mm to 45.5mm. There was this one review that caught my eye that praised the 601 movement for its accuracy and reliability. They said it’s good for everyday use and even for dressing up. Sounds about right to me.
Next, I wanted to check out the whole “600m/2000ft” thing. Now, I’m not a professional diver, but I did take it for a swim in the pool, and even dove down to the bottom a few times. No issues there. I also took a peek at the back of the watch, and yeah, you can see the movement through the sapphire crystal. It’s got the Omega logo and says “Planet Ocean” and “600m/2000ft” on it, which looks pretty cool.
Finally, I compared some notes with a few buddies who are into watches. One of them has a titanium Seamaster, and he swears by it. Says it’s lighter and even more durable. Another friend mentioned that the Seamaster name is as iconic as the Rolex Submariner, but way more affordable. That’s definitely something to think about.
So, after all that, here’s what I think: This Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M is a solid watch. It’s well-built, looks great, and seems to handle water like a champ. If you’re into dive watches and want something that’s both stylish and reliable, this one’s definitely worth considering. Plus, it might even be a decent investment. Who knows?
What I Did:
- Wore it daily to test comfort and style.
- Researched online reviews and opinions.
- Tested its water resistance in a pool.
- Examined the movement through the caseback.
- Discussed it with watch enthusiast friends.
Overall, I had fun playing around with this watch. It’s a cool piece, and I can see why people dig it.
