Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean GMT Deep Black Watch Replica Review
The Omega Seamaster 300M and the Seamaster Planet Ocean are Omega's most popular dive watches on the market. Those who are familiar with Omega know that there is also an all-ceramic "high-end series" of Omega dive watches, the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean "Deep Sea Black" replica (ref. 215.92.46.22.01.001). By comparing it with the regular steel case Planet Ocean, I also found that the all-ceramic Planet Ocean Black has an unusual texture in my hand, with higher value and quality.
The Case
The biggest feature of the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean GMT Deep Black replica is its all-ceramic design. The entire watch, from the case, bezel, dial, crown, helium valve, clasp, all these visible parts, except for the strap, movement, hands are all ceramic. The "Deep Sea Black" comes in 4 main color schemes (not counting the special models), all black, black red, black blue, black gold, and I'm only talking about the all black model. Different colorways have different treatments for ceramics (like the black-blue model, which is brushed matte). In this all-black model, the entire watch is made of mainly polished ceramic. The case and bezel are extensively polished, and the watch looks very bright in the light, with a more pronounced sense of quality and sophistication than the steel case.
With a diameter of 45.5mm it fits my fairly large wrists perfectly, but I did need a few days to get used to this size. Normally, my watches are a tad bit smaller. The black rubber strap fits like a glove and is comfortable from the first moment when you slide the watch on to your wrist.
Not only the diameter is impressive, the watch is also rather thick. It measures 17.8mm in height and that is a lot. It does make the watch feel a bit top heavy at first, especially on the light-weight rubber strap. "Deep Sea Black" uses tape. The outside of the strap is a canvas-like fabric, the inside is rubber, and the clasp is a folding clasp.
You’ll also note some dial differences which are important to talk about. The 43mm-wide Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean GMT copy has 24-hour marked rotating bezel, while the Omega Seamaster Deep Black watch replica has a traditional 60-minute diver’s bezel. Omega designed a 24-hour scale into the dial itself – making it a nice hybrid solution for many users. The black ceramic dials are given a new style of Arabic numerals for 2016, and the hands are either 18k white or 18k Sedna gold (with SuperLumiNova luminant material).
The Dial
The polished white gold hands, orange tip and hour markers still give enough contrast to be perfectly readable though. The date is located at 3 o’clock and using a matt black disc with white printing. As you can see above, it contrasts a bit when you look at the dial from certain angles where it [the dial] appears to be shiny.
In low-light conditions, the watch is still perfectly readable and the extra hour hand (GMT) is a feature that I really fancy. The finish of the watch is what you should expect of a watch with this price tag. The case has the typical combination of polished and matt brushed surfaces, like we are used from their lyre lug design. The glossy dial might not be for everyone, as it can look very shiny from certain angles. See below. It is something you just should make up for yourself.
On the dial you will also find the 24 hour track on the rehaut. As I wrote above, the GMT function is something I applaud. Especially if you’re a frequent traveler, it is a very welcome feature.
The Caseback
An exhibition caseback is a good thing because we get to see a very admirable movement used in the replica Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean GMT Deep Black watches. Inside is the in-house made Omega caliber 8906 “Master Chronometer” movement. This automatic Co-Axial movement operates at 3.5Hz (25,200bph) with a power reserve of about 60 hours. This is one of the newer METAS certified movements which also means that it is more or less “fully anti-magnetic.”
