The Best Diver that not everyone knows, but with a quality superior to all other divers.!!!

I bought the 42mm blue dial titanium version and LOVE it! The lightness of the titanium makes it super comfortable. Plus, it’s so accurate and absolutely beautiful. Can’t say enough good things about it

Just bought this with the orange 15 minute bezel. Absolutely love it.

I bought this exact watch a year ago and it gets more wrist time than any other watch now. I like it more than my Submariner. I also bought it from Exquisite Timepieces, they are a great AD and great to work with.

I bought a 43.5mm 2020 planet ocean 8900 calibre same black dial and bezel for 3900£ very solid and amazing looking watch worth every single penny

This was my first luxury watch ,the older one with the orange bezel. It’s kept better time than any watch I’ve owned. And I have watches from bigger brands.It is big and I’m of modest stature but it still wears well.

I have a 7.75 inch wrist and it fits me perfectly. Probably how a 40mm wears for people with smaller wrist than mine. I feel that it wears slightly smaller than my Oris 43.5, even though the omega is slightly thicker. However the Omega is so much more refined, streamlined, and comfortable. I'm in awe by this watch.

6.75" wrist here. I had this exact watch and flipped it for the 39.5mm version in blue instead. I absolutely love it and it's become my daily. The 43.5mm version was just a bit too cumbersome for me.

Hot damn .... this timepiece will be in my head the next few days

I owned this watch for a while and it is really great. I did have issues with the anti reflective coating getting scratched very easily. It bothered me so much that I ended up just using poly watch and taking it off. I now own a Seamaster Diver 300, and so far the anti reflective coating has stayed perfect. I've heard that Omega has improved the durability of the coating, so maybe this issue has been resolved. Anyhow, it's a fantastic watch that I may one day own again. I love the bracelet. In fact, in my opinion, it's so much nicer than the one on my diver 300. My least favorite thing about my watch is the non tapering bracelet, but this does not have that issue. Like you said, this watch is made to the highest quality standards and a person can't go wrong with it. Just know that it's a chunky beast (sits tall too). I like substantial dive watches so this is not a problem for me. Thanks for the review!

I love this watch. Absolutely worth the price. You’ll have it forever.

Great review, I borrowed this exact one from a friend, and it is a great watch. It does have a presence on my just over 7" wrist.

I have this watch in 43.5mm size with black ceramic dial and bezel. I wear it everyday I love it, I noticed I was putting some minor scratches on the bracelet and clasp so I took the bracelet off and fitted an Omega rubber dive strap, I chose the black with orange trim strap which actually belongs to the model with black and orange bezel but I love the way it looks on my model, and it makes the watch a lot lighter to wear. Mine's starting to lose a few seconds a day I need to send it off for a full service, but I don't want to be apart from it for 2 weeks while it's being serviced and tested.

Just bought a used 42 mm titanium Po from 2011? The right size, light enough, handsome. Very accurate also. I am a big fan of omega now!

Superb review and videography! Please do more omega watches!

Stylistically, the PO might be my favorite diver on the market. Unfortunately the thickness means none of them are actually on my shopping list

Love this watch, but as you say just to big , but I tried the 39 mm and you guessed it a bit small , 41mm or 40mm is perfect 👍🏻

Was seriously tempted by one a couple of months ago, but bought the retro SM300 instead- would've had one of these if only it didn't have a date ( really dislike that complication). Beautiful watch, much prefer it to the SMP, more classically Omega imho. Good review, thank you Guy 👍🏻👍🏻

Brilliant review, as per usual. Entirely agree with your views. I also have a 6.5" wrist and the smaller PO fits me perfectly!

39.5 has the quick date set. Much better for daily use.

I own the 39.5mm. The lack of divers extension on the smaller version really bugs me.

Anyone ever try the 39.5mm PO on a 19mm aqua terra rubber bracelet? I've seen a few people do this and it looks superb. very comfortable too if it wears anything like the AT

A great review Guy. I've seen the Planet Ocean a couple of times at the AD but so far one has yet to land on my wrist but the PO is still giving me that itch. I love the dial and even though I'm not a fan of the date at three it sort of works much better than others that I've seen and agree I do like the 6, 9. and 12 numerals. I can also vouch for the quality of the bracelet with that brilliant on the fly micro adjustment. It works the same as my 300M. The AR coating is also very good on these, almost like the crystal isn't their at some angles and works really well with the ceramic dial. Now that I've seen another recent review of the PO I might have to scratch that itch at some point and compare the two different sizes on my 7" wrist. At the moment I can't justify another diver...... can I?

If you want to avoid a lot of the chunk, go with an older model. They are around 12-14mm thick, and much more wearable.

Good review! How accurate did you find it? My 300M diver is about +3 seconds per day.

Great review thanks. I too have a 6.5” wrist, but I’m definitely getting the 43.5mm version. I had the Seamaster 300m and the PO actually wears smaller lug to lug. I don’t mind the thickness as I already have a Tag Heuer Carrera chrono which is 16mm thick. I think the 39mm version is too small, a proper dive watch needs to make a statement.

Omega needs to make this watch thinner! Even the 39.5 version fits like a chunky puck on the wrist. Short lug to lug at about 45mm, and still too thick at about 14.5mm case thickness. Why can’t Omega size this piece like a Rolex submariner at about 48mm lug to lug, and 12.5mm thickness? Why Omega? You’ d give Rolex a run for their money! All Planet Oceans use gold on their markers and hands. The dials are very legible and useful! They just need to be sized for normal human beings.

I just happened to have looked up the curret cost in Canada (July 16, 2023) and this watch is "on sale" for a good price i.e. less than a Speedmaster MOon at regular sale priceand the 300m Professional...heh...Had I $8k CAD to spare.... Interestingly another watch comes to mind that i think compares but only lacks the cache of the Omega name....the Tudor Pelagos a 500m/titanium watch, auto helium valve at he 9 o'clock flush with the side of case..no knob for $2k CAD less....smaller watch.. Which do you go for if consifering these 2? :) To be honest most of us don't dive so the "500 or 600m, helium valves..." just says "...IT CAN..." and gives you a more solid watch with better seal than a 300m or 200m watch (obvious reasons). Omega as i said has more cache....and that IS partly why we buy expensive watches (even if you dont admit it)....who wants to spend 5 mintues giving a speech on the hisotry of the brand to non-watch people....the Omega name most peope know almost as many as tose who recognize the Rolex name.... And in a "sea" of generic looking dive watches the Planet Ocean does stand out IMHO...

So the lug to lug is smaller than that of the current Seamaster???

Have the 39,5mm. Love it! However, the 39,5mm have the cal 8800 with a quick set date.

Love that it is smaller in 39.5mm. To be honest, I like more the design of SMP but if I had the money, I would get the smaller PO.

I was considering the 39.5mm version, but it's sort of ridiculous that the smaller version is basically the same price as the standard size, especially considering it uses the slightly inferior 8800 movement.

100% agree with you it is a great watch

I would love this in 41 or 42 mm. What a beauty. However i am not willing to let my 2254.50 and 2531.80 and Great White Seamaster go, for this purchase. Not yet ..

I had this same watch in Orange Bezel White Dial Combo - totally worth the money but very heavy - had to let it go after 1.5 years sadly

nice watch... one of my favs cheers

Guy, Your right its a great watch. I love the design. I think its even nicer than the Seamaster imo. The 39mm of this model suits my wrist 6.5 inch better and probably will yours too . I personally wish it was not so heavy and thick though. For me its a little too chunky to be an every day wearer and would gladly accept 300m of water resistance if they would only reduce its thickness and weight a little . I am a huge Omega fan and have owned several including my current Aqua Terra. Omega continue to frustrate me though. I think there is a huge market out there for them to make a slim 40mm diver to take on the Rolex Submariner directly.

I have to add here that the helium escape valve on this watch looks decent compared to the omega seamaster diver 300, this is my biggest problem with the diver 300 it's how out of place that oversised extra "crown" looks, however in this watch the more discreet helium escape valve actually looks decent, I like this watch but for me the best choice of the seamster lineup would always be the vintage looking seamaster 300 co axial master chronometer

I really don’t think the watch looks big on your wrist. That may just be that you’re used to looking at smaller watches on your wrist.

It is a large watch, but the I have always felt the design works well with the size. Great summer watch. Omega Seamaster holds a soft spot in my heart as the 300m was my first "nice watch". Even years ago, I felt this watch was a tad larger. I just picked up a Tudor BB58, and the size is perfect. I guess I am moving toward smaller pieces even with my 7.5" wrist. Hope you are well Guy. Nice review!

The 39.5 version has the quick set date.

I think the hands & indices are rhodium plated stainless steel, not gold.

The wart still doesn’t work for me. Maybe Omega could try releasing the SM 300 and PO 600 without it and see what the sales data says.

What isntha price

Hi Guy. Good to see your video and find your channel. I have a blue PO and love it. Disappointed you had to mention Rolex though so I need to stick up for the 👑 It’s just not as good as a SeaDweller/DeepSea. It’s by far the best Omega IMO and the only one I like. It’s fantastic value, but when you hold it with a SeaDweller/DeepSea it’s obvious why there is a price difference. Power reserve is not as high as Rolex (its five hours less on the smaller size too). The bracelet is lovely. Again much better than other Omegas (even has a taper!!), but again, just not Rolex standard. The bezel may be as good as a Submariner (I could not comment as have never turned one) but I do not think should be compared to a Sub anyway, and is inferior to the standard Sea Dweller (which is sublime) and the DeepSea. Personally I like the hour hand feature as it gives a point of difference and feels quality to adjust. The fix is that Omega make it no date in the next version, and put a ‘3’ digit in its place. I think the smaller version does not have this feature so guessing a quick set date instead.

Do you have one?

Planet Ocean green may be good

If they have jumping hour watch, they should just get rid of the date.

This size is just right for you, isn't too big by any means. 39mm is dainty and the ladies are wearing it. Check out what sizes the ladies are wearing.

I would definitely like to see a review of the 39mm one!

Jump hour is something different, this one has an independent hour hand. Otherwise every watch could be called "jumping minute"...

What's the price

No lumes on the nuems. No date/ big date required, perhaps. Date fiddling sucks.

Not considering design, how is Rolex better than Omega? I still don’t understand

"At the cost of only $1K" -- And 2.5 mm extra in thickness. Looks like a chimney growing out of your wrist.

Please, please, please just get rid of that Helium Valve monstrosity.

Rolex daydate and dayjust are better watches, but everything else is inferior compared to Omega

People prefer Rolex subs because it does not lose 30 - 40 percent value like Omega does after purchase. And over size clasp that is huge around the wrist and not comfortable is another reason I prefer my submariner over my seamaster.

I bought a 43.5mm 2020 planet ocean 8900 calibre same black dial and bezel for 3900£ very solid and amazing looking watch worth every single penny
