Omega Planet Ocean

One of my first decent watches and certainly a big lump.

2500 in the morning sun today. The rubber strap makes it super comfortable to wear.

Love that strap!

DM me Jon. I can point you in the right direction. But they’re not cheap but you’ll know where to go when funds allow...

Joe.

Can I PM you as well?
Any ideea if there are XL ?
I do need the longest strap possible :)

Am I allowed to post a link to a third party website?

I think that’s ok isn’t it? I’m not affiliated with it and they’re a great resource for Omega clasps and buckles etc.

That’s interesting to know, as the one thing which is a bit of a negative is the thickness. You don’t happen to know the thicknesses of 2500,8500 and 8900 by any chance?

I think I remember reading that the 42mm 8500s are 1.5mm thicker than the equivalent 2500 versions, not sure about the 8900s or 45.5mm versions though.

One of my favourite watches, along with my 2500 orange bezel. Very hard to call it between the two.

It is the saphire glass back as I understand it which adds the depth.
Wish they would offer a SS back for the 8500.

Whilst a lump it is no more so than my Seiko MM300.

I love a classic black-on-black dive watch (I should do, owning several of various makes).

So, for a daily-wearer I think the blue version would suit me best - there's something very 'Omega' about them, probably for me because of the Bond Seamaster that Brosnan wore in 'Goldeneye'.

The one I like most though is the black dial with orange bezel - it's a watch that's instantly recognisable, and I appreciate distinctive looks.

I may be wrong, but I always understood the 8000 series movements were thicker than the 2500 series, hence the need for a deeper case.

You could be well be right. From memory there was a slight increase in movement size, but I seem to remember when they were released the glass been given as a reason. If you need 4mm ( or whatever it might be) thick crystal on the top....you need the same on the bottom.
Happy to be corrected.
