"The Seamaster Planet Ocean 45.50 mm Chronograph is equipped with the exclusive OMEGA Co-Axial calibre 9300/9301, the first chronograph in the brand’s revolutionary family of in-house Co-Axial movements."
Still too new to be told. Exciting nevertheless.

Exciting by the use of the 8500 and the new 930x family of co-axial movements... but less excited with the prices...
WUS reported it at usd6050 for the 3 hand version which is creeping into Rolex territory.
Granted that alot of Omega-philes will say that Omega's co-axial movement is better but the Omega vs Rolex arguments are never ending right?
Love the ceramic bezel though... and the liquid metal in blue as well :thumbsup:

Based on the pic, still prefer the old design over the new one, Hehe... But like the see through case back of the new version :thumbsup:

Same here, prefer the previous version more 'understated classic look' but new 1 got better engine?

Agreed. Prefer the old model. New engine better?? I am quite sceptical.

Well, I like the new Chrono with "12" amber color :thumbsup: If it is selling at USD6k++, then I think is a little bit aggressive
-
just too beautiful :Cheers:

Well, I manage to try the new Omega, but the price is like SGD10K++, it is quite thick compare to the existing model. The AD I visited only have one, one and only one, the display one somemore :thumbsup:
-
If the price for a normal three hand one is below RM20k, i'd give a very serious thought to it. I love the blue variant on a blue strap.
-
very nice ;D
the orange is nicer :thumbsup:
-
I went to the Omega boutique at Pavilion a few weeks ago, and it still didn't have them. Said to be coming end of this month? ???
Appearance wise, the non-chrono new PO wouldn't be much of a difference with my current PO, sans the bezel. So I don't see a point of getting it (in my case, of course). The chrono, on the other hand, based on the new engine, is a different ball game altogether. I'm intrigued by it actually, and interested to know the retail, which I'm not surprised if it goes to the other side of RM22K.
Come on Omega, surprise us! :Praying:

There is a review of the new Planet Ocean Chrono in the latest WatchTime Magazine.

Aren't the blue variant titanium with liquidmetal bezel?
The normal Black and Orange version now comes with ceramic bezel.
And for all new POs, the 6,9 and 12 markers are now applied and not painted.
I have only seen pictures and they do look good.
But you know how pictures are sometimes...
Have yet to see them in person.
-
yea, they are the titanium ones with the liquidmetal bezels.
-
read somewhere that the Co-Axial movement is over-hyped. a longer interval between service is just advertising it seems. Omega is asking too much for it anyway.
the opinion of most is that the Rolex 4130 is somewhat the better chrono movement out there and is even better than the El Primero it replaced. i guess only Rolex lovers would agree.
let the flames begin!
-
really love this watch, very nice looking !
just wonder, izzit a fully in house movement?
but yeah, somehow over priced..
-
I find the new PO Chronograph quite nice
actually, and the Ceramic bezel is certainly a
welcome addition. I miss the painted
markers though. :)
The fact that Omega is producing new movements
is fantastic :thumbsup:
I suppose this is what Nicolas Hayek has envisioned
for Omega. To be able to compete with Rolex they
have to step up with their movements. Which is better
will always be subjective, and there is a long list of
competitors like JLC, Zenith el Primero as mentioned,
the cal. 39 of Glashutte Original and the new B01
movement of Breitling
-
Which is better is always a subjective matter.
No point saying this is better than that as the arguments or differing in opinion from watch enthusiasts will be very long.
IMHO, it is always best to say this manufacturer came out with this technology or new version or improved movement etc. Will it be better than its competitor, who knows? It is just another movement.

Manage to try on the the 42mm 8500 PO in Denmark. Retailing for DKK31100 before 19%VAT rebates
A really well made watch with beautiful details and movement finish. Sits a bit high on the wrist due to the display back. A great alternative to the 14060M or 16610 if you're considering for a diver within the price range.
Infact after rebates it'll cost less than both the brand new 14060M and pre-owned 16610.

Not least expected. But for a chrono with an in-house movement, I'd have to say, "not too bad!"
-
seriiusly i don notice this thread and I only just found out that they had ladies PO at 37.5mm Which mean it is a good size for my wrist... :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
-
how about bulking up and wear the 42mm? :thumbsup:
-
I prefer the look of the old one.. the liquidmetal bezel is cool but I don't quite like it's greyish colour.
-
The grayish bezel may not be liquidmetal, just ceramic bezel. From the official website, the liquidmetal looks black. I did consider it could be becoz of the lighting. but I believe omega do take precautions of how their goods are presented and not giving the dubious impression.

The problem is very hard to bulk my wrist... That why I prefer smaller watch over big watch :Jumping: :Jumping:
Even the salesperson in watch shop shoot me telling me the trend is BIG WATCH :Laughing_on_floor:

Forearms muscle are stubborn and slow to grow but by all means not impossible. Or you could grow it in the easiest way.. Stuff yourself silly with cheeseburgers and your wrist would certainly "bulk" up
