Exactly two decades after the Seamaster Planet Ocean first made its mark, OMEGA returns to one of its most emblematic collections with a complete redesign for the modern era. The launch of the fourth-generation Planet Ocean signals a thoughtful evolution—one that respects the collection’s deep-rooted ocean heritage while introducing a contemporary architectural and technical vision shaped by today’s standards of performance and design.
This new chapter unfolds through seven Co-Axial Master Chronometer models, presented across three distinct watch heads with a variety of bracelet and strap configurations. Rather than incremental updates, the collection has been entirely reworked, reflecting OMEGA’s intention to future-proof the Planet Ocean while maintaining its unmistakable identity as a professional diving watch.
Visually, the changes are immediately apparent. The case architecture has been refined to feel more structured and balanced, while the bracelet design introduces a more fluid, integrated presence on the wrist. These updates lend the collection a sharper, more confident silhouette—one that feels technical without becoming aggressive, and contemporary without sacrificing legibility or purpose.
Beneath the surface, the technical evolution is equally significant. Each model is powered by Co-Axial Master Chronometer movements, underscoring OMEGA’s commitment to precision, durability, and resistance to extreme conditions. These enhancements ensure that the Planet Ocean continues to perform at the highest level, whether underwater or in everyday wear, reinforcing its reputation as a true tool watch.
Despite the extensive redesign, the essence of the Planet Ocean remains firmly intact. The collection continues to draw from OMEGA’s historic ocean DNA, retaining key signature elements that have defined it since its debut. Among them is the unmistakable use of orange accents—a colour long associated with OMEGA’s diving heritage and once again featured prominently in select models.
What makes this fourth generation particularly compelling is its balance of continuity and progression. OMEGA has resisted the temptation to reinvent the Planet Ocean purely for novelty, instead choosing to refine its proportions, materials, and mechanics in a way that feels purposeful. The result is a collection that honours its past while confidently addressing the expectations of contemporary collectors and divers alike.
With the latest Seamaster Planet Ocean, OMEGA demonstrates how an icon can evolve without losing its soul. Twenty years on, the collection enters a new era not by abandoning its roots, but by strengthening them—proving that true design longevity lies in thoughtful reinvention rather than radical departure.
