Omega

The replica Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M checks all the right boxes both as an everyday sporty luxury watch, as well as a robust diving instrument. It’s surprising to think that the Seamaster Planet Ocean collection has only existed for a dozen years. Given its recognition, credibility, and popularity, it feels like it’s been around for a lot longer than that. As a matter of fact, the Seamaster Planet Ocean is somewhat like a celebrity in the world of luxury replica watches. And with looks and capabilities like these, it’s not surprising. Let’s explore it. 
While the Planet Ocean may be somewhat of a newbie, the Seamaster line has been around since 1948. So, the Seamaster is the oldest Omega collection still in production today. When it was first presented, the Seamaster was provided as a gorgeous dres’ watch that could handle some splashing. For gentlemen who had good tastes and an active lifestyle. Today, the Seamaster collection consists of a wide assortment of water-ready timepieces from the best Aqua Terra to rugged tool watches like the Planet Ocean. However, that spirit still goes on and on. The Omega Seamaster watches are robust timepieces for those with special better tastes.
Part of a bigger family of PO watches in a multitude of sizes, materials, and colors, this special model is an extreme-light version. Crafted in titanium, this Planet Ocean sports a 42mm case along with a blue Liquid metal—Omega’s proprietary alloy—ceramic bezel. Compared to its 45.5mm counterpart, this 42mm case is a more restrained approach to everyday luxury sports watches. The matching blue dial is home to large double broad-arrow hands, baton indexes, and silver Arabic numerals at 6, 9, and 12. 
The blue and titanium version of the Planet Ocean 600M fake watch is especially sporty owing to its blue rubber strap. The replica Omega’s top-quality rubber strap is very much comfortable to wear. It’s also especially amazing because of the white stitching on the blue material.
As we could guess out that the Planet Ocean 600M is built to explore marine landscapes, boasting water resistance to 600 meters deep. While this titanium and blue Seamaster Planet Ocean looks great ashore, you should know that it is a diving watch.
The Omega replica managed to have a see-through case-back for all to admire the Cal. 8500 working away within. Caliber 8500 is Omega’s in-house automatic mechanical movement which provides 60 hours of power reserve. Perfectly decorated with arabesque Geneva waves, the movement comes equipped with the popular Omega Co-Axial escapement. Besides, there’s also the free-sprung balance, a pair of barrels mounted in series, and bi-directional automatic winding.

OMEGA stated the Planet Ocean collection to continue the dive watch heritage of the Seamaster collection 2017. Also, the name of the collection stresses the replica OMEGA’s commitment to the marine conservation work the company supports. Marine exploration and appreciation is the topic of the game with OMEGA’s Planet Ocean line.
The Planet Ocean 600M is OMEGA’s ultra-modern diver’s watch with a lot of advantages like large, bold, and technically proficient. As its name suggests, each OMEGA model in the collection boasts a water resistance of 600 meters or 2,000 feet. Identical to all contemporary replica watches, it is equipped with a unidirectional rotating bezel to track immersion times. Besides, as expected, the lume on an OMEGA Planet Ocean is fantastic thanks to the SuperLumiNova accents for optimal legibility underwater. 
As with other OMEGA collections, the Planet Ocean line is varied. For example, there are larger watches for men and smaller ones for women. Furthermore, there’s a range of materials including robust steel, luxurious gold, and ultralight titanium. Finally, in addition to the dive capabilities, there are Planet Ocean models with additional functions such as chronograph and GMT as well. Take, for example, this particular Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M Chronograph.
Aesthetically, this omega replica orange Planet Ocean 2218.50.00 is amazing. From its 45.5mm stainless steel case to its black dial to its orange bezel and accents, it really is an unbelievable summer watch.
The case features the two Chrono pushers at 2 and 4 o’clock flanking the winding crown. What’s more, there’s also the helium escape valve at 10 o’clock to allow for proper decompression of the fake watch to prevent pressure damage. Further complementing the sporty shape of the case is the steel bracelet with the flat and wide three-link configuration. 
Housed within the case is the black dial accented with vibrant orange touches. Firstly, there are the orange 3, 6, 9, and 12 numerals, followed by the orange trio of registers. Besides, even the screw-down chronograph buttons are given a touch of orange. Also on the dial is the date window positioned between 4 and 5 o’clock.
Driving the OMEGA Planet Ocean 2218.50.00 is the Co-Axial Caliber 3313 automatic chronograph movement. It features the famous Co-Axial escapement and it comes with the time, date, and chronograph functions. With 25 jewels and operating at 28,800 beats per hour, the Caliber 3313 offers a 55-hour power reserve.
Protecting the self-winding chronograph movement is the solid caseback with the iconic seahorse logo typical of OMEGA Seamaster models. Built to dive yet perfectly appropriate to wear every day on dry land too, the orange Planet Ocean Chronograph is one of the fake OMEGA’s best looking modern Seamaster models. And during the hot summer months, there’s nothing wrong with a little added brightness on the wrist!

The fake Omega Seamaster soon became a stalwart of seafarers and submariners alike after the release in 1957, but today it’s chiefly known for accompanying Commander James Bond, aka 007, on his onscreen adventures, beginning with Goldeneye in 1995. 
Befitting the debut of a new 007, played by Pierce Brosnan, the film’s costume designer Lindy Hemming lobbied for the inclusion of the Seamaster amongst Bond’s many ‘hand props’, figuring that a Naval commander would be familiar with the timepiece. The idea flew, and replica Omega has dressed every 007 since.
Therefore, to mark the half-century of You Only Live Twice – not to mention the 40th anniversary of The Spy Who Loved Me and the 20th anniversary of Tomorrow Never Dies – Omega has united these two threads in a timepiece dedicated to the character’s rank in the Senior Service.
The Seamaster Diver 300m ‘Commander’s Watch’ has a restriction of 7,007 pieces in stainless steel (a further seven pieces are available in yellow gold) and comes in a special box inspired by a military medal case.
And there are further clues to its joint antecedents: not only are the colors of the Ensign (red white and blue) to be found throughout the piece, the 41mm case features a blue ceramic bezel with red rubber covering the first 15 minutes.
The dial is in polished white ceramic, while the blues indexes are complemented by blue hands and the replica ‘Seamaster’ logo in red.
Picking up on Commander Bond’s role in popularising the series after its relaunch in the mid-Nineties, the central seconds hands feature the 007 gun logo on the counterweight, and the number seven in the date window is picked out in red (all other numbers are blue). As befits a military piece, the strap is a five-stripe NATO bracelet in blue, red, and grey and features a polished buckle.

I purchased one of my own just several days after publishing the story because I couldn’t find it to give it back to the replica Omega. Soon it established itself in my collection as the go-to watch and took home the annual “Most Worn” title in 2016. At almost the halfway point in 2017, it seems that it will retain that title and the more time it spends on my wrist, the more I appreciate it. I enjoy it not just as a pure re-edition of this fake watch, however, as a Speedmaster with all of the line’s best attributes. 
It’s exactly because of these reasons that I’ve always had a bit of an uncomfortable relationship with another beloved “FOIS” edition – the “First Omega in Space” in Sedna Gold. There is no doubt that it is an amazing watch, a deluxe version of my own, but I’ve also thought of it as a big departure from the Speedmaster and one that I wasn’t sure I really felt comfortable with. Speedy enthusiasts mostly welcomed the watch when it was launched in 2017, and some have tried their hardest to convince me of its appeal, but for many reasons, I could not be unable to hear them.
To begin with, the very best and most defining attribute of the Speedmaster versus almost every other chronograph of the 1960s is its uniform black dial. The panda scheme is attractive, and the opaline dial and brown sub-dials of the Sedna Gold edition works particularly well, but it felt like Omega was encroaching into enemy territory – what I’ve learned since going hands-on with the Sedna Gold edition is that another model set this precedent 20 years ago. Secondly, the most important is, I’ve always found that putting the Speedmaster in precious metal was a bit of a bourgeois move.  
It’s a Speedmaster with a panda dial. What could you possibly have against it?
I was struck right away with how gorgeous the Sedna Gold FOIS is in person. It looks nothing like my replica watch, but it looks nice as well. One thing I’ve noticed taking photos of watches for many years is that the better looking the watch, the easier it is to photograph, and here the photos speak for themselves.
What has changed is pretty significant though. Omega has decided to work with gold, and not just any kind, preferring a unique and property combination of gold, copper, and palladium to achieve a warm tone that lies somewhere between red and pink gold. To complement it, Omega has created a brown ceramic bezel, which again offers a little more nuance than going with straight black ceramic.
Due to the color of gold, one of the most unsettling features of the watch, besides its distinct look, is its heft. As expected, the Sedna Gold version feels heavy on the wrist, and this isn’t something most Speedmaster owners will be used to. The great majority of these chronographs (and there are many variations) are made in stainless steel.
It would never be possible to say that one feature I miss in this present version is the distinction between the time-telling functions and the chronograph, which I thought was wisely done by using polished steel for the first, and painted batons for the second. For the Sedna Gold version, all of the hands (and the applied logo) are gold. Surely, the contrast between gold hands and white batons would have been too stark.
