2026 Planet Ocean

My Strange take away of the day about this watch, is that it makes me appreciate my heritage even more!

I like it - but the date function is something I actually use almost everyday. I hope they release a version with a date function soon.

I always found very weird the idea of a luxury blingy dive watch like the Sea Dweller. Somehow luxury and dive just don't match in my head. This new Planet Ocean is too luxury to make sense to me, even more than the previous generation. But I know many people like those luxury dive watches and I'm sure there will be a big market as it seems to be a beautiful watch.

I've never really been a PO fan, but this one I like quite a lot.

Fully agree. I have tried and to me it's too blingy/shiny for a tool watch (case is very shiny when the light hits) and with that approach I dont even think you need to rate it to 600m. As a tool Tudor is going stronger with their divers (slimmer, better lume, better clasps, lower price) and it might be the right approach to build tool-diver, imho. With gen 1 Planet Ocean you could wear it with pretty anything, it could be 1 watch. The new one is not that bad as another watch in the line, but when it comes to versatility it's the worst Planet Ocean, imho.
I think they changed it too much what we used to know. It looks like mini version of the bigger one with 6000m, but let's be honest 6000m looks better, but I dont think it's better what they did before.
The salesman told me there were more complaints from people who already own or owned previous PO's, while enough positive opinions from others.
Where is the date? Where is the HEV? Case back is awful, polished bracelet 👎for tool watch. New design is always a compromise. The compromise here was to reduce thickness and to reduce weight. New watch is lighter, after few links removed I think it would be around 165-170gr.

I’m a huge fan of the orange one.

Dive watches aren’t necessarily on my radar but if you tell me this one is on the thinner side of watches with the same depth rating that would grab my interest.

I agree, I understand the complaints about the extension clasp but at the same time, they are overstated. If you're using a full extension over a wetsuit, nobody is going to see it. And if you are using a full extension in any other case, you need to just add a link.

I want the clasp to look the same regardless of where it's set.
Many manufacturers have already solved this.

But Omega's diver clasps always reveal an ugly <mechanism> when extended.

Got it this morning. As expected it is on the bling being side.

Just for comparison, the sub is definitely less bling bling.

I need to get into spending more time on the stories section, its been getting more viewers but not enough new writing.

My eyes are always immediately drawn to the short center link that integrates with the case. That's the only part of the watch that I don't like. Not sure how to describe it, but it looks off to me.

ErichPryde · Thurs. 10:50am

@Mam @cerberus63 if either of you have calipers, can you get us a true bezel measurement (say from 2 o'clock to 8 o'clock?) I was thinking this would share general bezel dimensions with the Speedmaster, but seeing images of it side by side with other watches it looks just a touch bigger- approximately the size of a sub bezel. I'm wondering if it is "actually" a 40.2-40.4mm watch at the bezel?

Anyway- congratulations on your watches. Keep those pictures coming!

If someone brushes the central shiny shiny, please post a pic!

That would be awesome.

With your photoshop skills, would you be willing and able to mock up the blue bezel black dial one—with brushed center links?

Thanks in any case—I’m dying to visualize that configuration.

I suck with Photoshop, but here's my attempt:

Black dial with a Blue bezel is the worst thing I've ever seen... sorry

Not even close…

To me it's the best of the three.

The more I look at the watch, the more I like the proportions of bezel vs. dial. The small dial with larger bezel was probably a good choice design wise.

The Blue bezel really feels like it matches the vintage alumium black to blue fade that Omega's were fairly well known for:

Then there's also the Seamaster variants that came in blue even without fading
