Omega’s Seamaster Planet Ocean Dark Grey is crafted in state-of-the-art ceramic

The Seamaster collection by Omega has a long history of revolutionary technology and innovative new materials. This year, that technical legacy continues with the release of the new Planet Ocean Dark Grey, a bold timepiece crafted in silicon nitride ceramic that perfectly exemplifies being strong yet light. Let’s look into it.

What Makes It Light

This is the first time that silicon nitride has been applied by Omega on such a large scale in a watchmaking piece. The result? An adventure-ready timepiece that promises toughness, while keeping the weight down. This will come in very useful if the user leads an active lifestyle as they will not even feel the weight of the watch.

The lightness of silicon nitride ceramic gives users an extra level of comfort on their wrist, while the robust qualities provide reliable strength for serious explorations. In design, this dark grey material has been used for the 45.5mm case body, patented NAIAD LOCK caseback, and bezel ring.

Unbeatable Strength

Additionally, Omega has also used contrasting Grade 5 titanium for the bezel body and strap folding clasp, as well as the sand-blasted dial with its anthracite hands and indexes. All this makes for a much more stylish yet also functional timepiece anyone would be thrilled to wear.

The particular standard of titanium used in the Seamaster Planet Ocean Dark Grey is favoured by the aerospace industry. While accentuating the watch’s durable integrity, it does so without adding too much weight. Keeping with the theme, the movement has embraced a dark aesthetic too.

Functional And Versatile

The Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8906 in Grade 5 Titanium is an ultra-light creation with a GMT function that guarantees a sublime level of precision and performance. It sits just behind a sapphire crystal with anti-reflective treatment on both sides.

The entire watch is water-resistant to 600 meters, in keeping with the Seamaster’s impressive ocean technology and also ensuring that users can use this watch wherever they go and never have to worry about it.
