Summary: The last sport watch you'll ever need to buy.
Comment: The last sport watch you'll ever need to buy.

This review refers to the Model 2218.50, XL version (45 mm case) with steel bracelet. The opinions of the movement, adjustment and reliability are also applicable to the model with rubber strap and leather / lizard strap.

This is a hefty timepiece, it weighs 9+ ounces (over half a pound), it feels and exudes quality and is bound to illicit a glance and a double take. The domed double anti glare sapphire crystal is super sharp and sometimes hard to determine it is even there.

The exterior is a combination of brushed and polished stainless steel, most notably the trademark Omega horns are this blended finish.

The screw down crown is adorned with the Omega logo and easy to open, the first position enables manual winding for a power boost, the helium escape valve at 10:00 is adorned with the periodic symbol "He".

Clockwise turns of the crown in second position adjusts the date forward, the date can't be adjusted backwards. Time adjustment is easy and rapid; no adjustment for seconds is available.

The unidirectional bezel rotates counter clockwise 120 clicks and lines up perfectly with every second marker, the solid feel of the rotation is nothing less than you'd expect from an Omega.

The luminescent material of this watch is a glow magnet, just a few seconds exposure to sunlight or held close to a lamp will turn the face of this watch into a lighthouse! Combined with the chrome and split bezel hands of the subdials and this timepiece can be used as a signal mirror for low flying aircraft.

The Omega 3313 movement is identical to their 3303 movement except the 3313 has the co-axial escapement, this is the same movement inside the Omega DeVille and will be used in future models.

The accuracy of this watch is only surpassed by my Omega SeaMaster Quartz 300 2221.80, my Quartz Omega never loses or gains a second and the PO gains less than 5 seconds a week. The days I don't wear it, I spend 60 seconds winding it and store it standing vertically for optimum movement.

The bracelet includes the scuba extension of all SeaMasters, but has no convenience pins for rapid adjustment or for bodily weight fluctuation. It releases easily with the double release pins and feels confidently closed when clasped.

I've performed testing of the power reserve, it continues to function about 43 hours with a full wind.

The watch can also function with a running chronograph for over 40 hours on a full wind, that is impressive.

Overall, I'd recommend this watch for anyone who wants an exquisite sport timepiece which isn't out of place at a formal, like all of the Omegas made before it; I expect this watch to endure for my grandchildren and their grandchildren.

Summary: the name is bond, james bond
Comment: i bought this watch about one month ago, and i look at it every day and still love it!! the sapphire crystal is beautiful and the way the watch feels on my arm is just great!!!

originally, i had a rolex submariner date, but like this watch much more and have now sold my rolex. i have big wrists, so the 45mm watch face looks better than a 39mm rolex submariner. in addition, since the submariner is "too popular", this planet ocean stands out of the crowd---especially because of the red numbers. furthermore, it is now the official james bond watch ;)

one catch is that the watch is very heavy, about 1/2 lbs, but that isn't an issue for me. hope you enjoy the watch as much as i do!

Summary: Functional & rugged indulgence
Comment: I finally pulled the trigger on this luxury sport watch as my first Omega. I have to say it compares favorably with my Rolex Datejust and GMT-Master II. The clasp is definitely better.

So far, the watch is 2.5 seconds fast over the course of 7 days. My Rolexes have never been as accurate -- this is surprising accuracy for any automatic.

Summary: Love it
Comment: I have had this watch for about 5 months now and still love it.

My only word of advice would be to make sure you are comfortable with wearing a watch that is this big, and this heavy! ...it weighs half a pound!

Summary: Absolutely wonderful and worth more than it's price!
Comment: I bought this watch as a gift to myself for Christmas. Spent a month looking at other brands, comparing prices, features, and listening to what others had to say. Finally got it and have not regretted it one bit.

I also considered the Tag Heuer Aquaracer Chrono, which was also a beautiful watch (cheaper), and the ROlex SubMariner (way more expensive) but the Omega Plannet ocean provided the build quality, brand, and looks that I wanted.
