This watch is really beautiful, very solid and of very high quality like all Omegas. The only bad thing about it is that once you have this one you'll want the orange one too. It will last a lifetime
Make me happy every time I look at it. Beware - it's not for everybody. This is a honking timepiece here. It's wide in circumference, yes, but definitely not as "I have a wall clock on my wrist" as some of the Breitlings. However, this thing is thick and heavy. If you want to always know your watch is there, it's for you. The arm you were it on is probably going to be more fit than the other though.
Also you can dive to 600M. I understand that is a lot. Definitely deeper than your bathtub or pool. So you're covered. Also, have you ever looked at your watch and said -" damn- this thing has too much damned helium in it." Most watches, where can you go from there? No where. You're stuck. But this one? BAM. Helium release valve.
On a more serious note, very high quality you can see and feel, lots of attention to detail. I love the look of the back of this thing.
Only 2 stars for this watch. While i do not own this particular brand, i do own a Planet Ocean 2200.50.00 which has the DOUBLE ANTI GLARE ( anti glare on inside and outside of crystal ). The watch looks great, no complaints about that.
Take note before you buy any of these watches from Omega that have the Double anti glare. THEY SCRATCH EASILY !! Mine scratched after 2 months and Omega will not warranty it. In fact, if you go to their website, they don't even have a customer service number and it states this:
"Due to the considerable interest shown in the OMEGA brand, our staff is answering an unprecedented number of inquiries. Therefore, you should expect a response time of at least four weeks. We thank you for your patience and understanding." ONLY THROUGH EMAIL
I feel that after spending $4000 on a watch, that they should replace it or at least re-imburse the cost. They do not and will not, so you are stuck with a scratched watch.
Save your bucks and get a ROLEX or Tag. Customer service on these Omega's are NILL !

Omega Men's 2210.50.00 Seamaster Planet Ocean Automatic Chronometer Chronograph Watch
But Omega is more than just a fashionable watch. In 1965, the Omega Speedmaster chronograph was "flight-qualified by NASA for all manned space missions" as the only wristwatch to have withstood all of the U.S. space agency's severe tests, including passing grades for extreme shocks, vibrations, and temperatures ranging from -18 to +93 degrees Celsius. The greatest moment in the Speedmaster's history was undoubtedly 20 July 1969 at 02:56 GMT, when it recorded man's first steps on the Moon's surface as part of the Apollo 11 mission. Omega watches rocketed off to space on many subsequent missions, including visits to Skylab and the historic Apollo-Soyuz link-up of Soviet and American astronauts in 1975.
In more recent years, Omega created the world's first self-winding wristwatch with central tourbillon in 1994 and made history in 1999 with the first mass-produced watch incorporating the co-axial escapement, developed in conjunction with renowned English master watchmaker George Daniels. In simple terms, the escapement is the heart of a mechanical watch, generating the impulses that make the mechanism move. Omega's Co-Axial Escapement drastically reduces the friction among the parts that transmit energy to the other components, producing greater stability and precision and reducing service requirements.
Today, Omega is known for its rigorous testing of new movements, cases, and bands. Each new Omega movement is tested on the wrist in existing Omega models, while various laboratory tests are conducted to determine temperature-resistance, shock-resistance and vibration-resistance.
