This Omega wristwatch boasts of superlative craftsmanship
The Seamaster Planet Ocean Orange Ceramic has a brushed and polished 43.50 mm case crafted from 950-grade platinum with a bi-directional 24-hour GMT rotating bezel whose polished ring is made of orange ceramic, a world premiere.
This wristwatch has been produced in an edition limited to only eight pieces. Confirming its unique status are the words, ‘World Premiere’, engraved on the caseback, along with the limited edition serial number. The sapphire crystal on the caseback allows an unobstructed view of the Omega co-axial calibre 8615 at the heart of this timepiece. This exclusive co-axial mechanical movement is fitted with a Si14 silicon balance spring.
Adding to the watch’s appearance are the 850-grade platinum Liquidmetal numerals, division lines, inner ring and triangle on the bezel. Beneath the domed scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, its sand-blasted 950-grade platinum dial complements an orange ceramic bezel ring and dazzling platinum case.
Along with facetted 18K white gold indexes and central hour-minute-seconds hands, there are its ‘6’, ‘9’ and ‘12’ numerals, GMT applique and a central GMT hand that rotates once every 24 hours in orange aluminium. This complication can be used with the rotating bezel to help you keep track of time in a second and third time zone.
The watch features an integrated orange leather strap with platinum stitching and a 950-grade platinum foldover clasp. An orange rubber strap is also included with a special tool to change it. This impressive timepiece comes in a special wooden box with a four-year warranty. The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Orange Ceramic wristwatch is water resistant to 600 metres.
