For the peripatetic soul, the individual whose spirit yearns for distant horizons and whose life is measured in time zones traversed, Omega presents a horological cartographer of exceptional calibre: the Seamaster Planet Ocean Worldtimer.
This is not merely a wristwatch; it is a statement of intent, a bold declaration of global citizenship rendered in striking ceramic and imbued with the robust DNA of the Planet Ocean lineage. Omega, a maison synonymous with innovation and precision, now extends its celebrated Worldtimer complication into the Planet Ocean collection, offering the discerning traveller a timepiece as captivating in its design as it is indispensable in its function.
The Seamaster Planet Ocean Worldtimer immediately commands attention with its imposing 45.50mm presence, a confident diameter executed in brushed black ceramic. Echoing the aesthetic codes of the revered Deep Black series, this timepiece exudes a purposeful sophistication, its unidirectional rotating bezel featuring a laser-ablated diving scale polished in positive relief – a testament to Omega’s mastery of ceramic craftsmanship. Available in two distinct colourways, turquoise or grey, the Worldtimer offers a personal expression of global style.
At the heart of the dial lies a miniature world, a mesmerizing depiction of Earth as seen from above the North Pole, meticulously rendered on a grade 5 titanium canvas. This topographic masterpiece is achieved through laser ablation and finished with a vibrant turquoise varnish, a captivating focal point encircled by a 24-hour indicator. Ingeniously divided into day and night sections via transparent hesalite, this rotating disc allows for intuitive world time reading.
The outer dial section, presented in DLC black with a laser-ablated honeycomb pattern, provides a textured backdrop for diamond-brushed indexes, filled with white Super-LumiNova for exceptional legibility in any light. An outer ring, echoing the turquoise varnish of the central Earth disc, lists a curated selection of global destinations, including Omega’s home city of Bienne, further anchoring the watch’s global spirit. Grey PVD coated hands, also generously filled with white Super-LumiNova, complete the dial’s harmonious and highly functional design.
Beneath this captivating display beats Omega’s Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8938, a movement of exceptional precision and resilience, visible through the sapphire crystal caseback. Certified to Master Chronometer standards, it boasts formidable anti-magnetic properties and a robust 60-hour power reserve, ensuring unwavering accuracy and reliability across continents and time zones.
The Worldtimer is presented on an integrated strap in black structured rubber, accented with turquoise stitching, and secured by a foldover clasp in ceramic and ceramised titanium – a study in both comfort and robust elegance. Water-resistant to 600 meters, and priced around £14,000, the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Worldtimer is more than a travel companion; it’s a horological passport for the modern global explorer, a testament to Omega’s unwavering commitment to innovation and design excellence.
