Pre-Owned Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M Co-Axial 40960099/AS06199

WHY WE LOVE IT

The Seamaster 300 line was Omega's response to the Rolex Submariner upon its introduction in 1957.

Featuring a robust steel case with a 300-meter depth rating, a rotating bezel graduated with a dive-timing scale, and a metal bracelet with diver's expansion links, the early Seamaster 300 was not only a functional diver that would go on to see use in Her Majesty's Navy, but arguably one of the handsomest sports watch designs of the past century.

As it evolved, the Omega Seamaster 300 went on to see numerous evolutionary changes — indeed, nearly innumerable variants in a variety of materials and colorways have been produced in the past 60 years. This fact alone has made the Seamaster Professional watches (as they came to be known) more desirable than their Rolex counterparts to a large portion of the collector community — simply because they don't all look exactly the same.

One of the latest additions to the Seamaster lineage is the Planet Ocean. Introduced in 2005, these watches feature a chunkier case design with a broad arrow handset, a new bracelet, a revised design language on the dial, and increased water resistance — no doubt to compete with that of the Rolex Sea-Dweller.

This particular piece, a reference 23230462101003, dates to circa 2015. Featuring a 45.5mm twisted-lug case, a sapphire crystal, a unidirectional timing bezel, a matte black dial with orange cardinal indices and matching “broad arrow” handset, a very solid stainless steel multi-link bracelet with a signed adjustable locking clasp, and the always-controversial helium escape valve at 10:00, this Planet Ocean is perfect for someone with a larger wrist who’s seeking a tool that will serve him well both below and above the waves. It has a nearly untouched case and bracelet, both of which are in excellent condition and show no handling wear throughout. It also comes with its outer and inner boxes, pictogram card, warranty card dating to 2015 from The Art of Time, and its instructional booklet.

If it was good enough for a certain' Mr. B' on the silver screen back in 2006, then it's good enough for us!
