Update Overdue? Omega Planet Ocean 8900

I love the 3rd Gen Planet Ocean. It may be time for an update though. What would you like to see changed? I will need to buy the White/Orange myself before it is officially discontinued. Its too good.

Thank you to Exquisite. Exquisite Timepieces is an excellent family-owned brick and motar AD in Naples Florida. Reach out to any of the sales staff for good customer service and fair pricing-

Brought one, black white dial with orange accents and rubber strap. Love it, wear it every day. Makes me smile everytime I check the time. John. Buy one you won't regret it.

I own the white/orange and it is fantastic. Super accurate and you can’t beat that lumed bezel.

[SkilfulLeader]

Absolutely love my orange/white PO. The quality and wearability is outstanding with an awesome colour plus a full lume bezel. Lots of people judge the thickness, I’d encouraged to try one one, they wear extremely comfortable and look killer IMO. 👍

Just got my 1st omega yesterday and it’s this watch and I love it … I have a small wrist and it still doesn’t look to big … so happy I finally got one

[SuperSnakePlissken]

I've been wearing this exact same watch for three years now and I love it. It is the best watch I have ever owned, and that includes a 2003 50th Anniversary Kermit Rolex Submariner I bought brand new. I loved that watch but it just couldn't keep great time. Omega PO....flawless time keeping.

Can’t wait to watch this one! Thinking of getting the planet ocean!

[perfectliberty]

I think Omega is not reading the room. This really only works for people who still love big watches but for me, I absolutely love my first edition 2005 Planet Ocean with the 2500 movement. Regardless, great review as always 👍🏼

So much potential for the Planet Ocean line if they update it per all the suggestions in previous comments. Timeless dial and bracelet design, great materials, good reputation to build on. If they can cut down the thickness, lume the bezel, and do a little bit of tidying up on the fonts (Think original 2500), this thing could be a real platform for growth.

I'm personally waiting for the next generation Planet Ocean. They're probably going to put in the technology that Omega has developed in the last couple of years, like shaving off some of the height, like they did with the Ultra Deep and new Heritage 300, and probably put in the the new Spirate system. Did try this version at the AD, and loved it (got a big wrist). If I didn't think they would release a new one soon, I would have bought the black version.

I have a 6.75" wrist and I think it wears perfectly. Mine is the white and Orange/red one and I really love it. Yeah the jumping hour hand is also super cool. IT'S JUST A GREAT WATCH😀

[Robin-oevt]

I have the black dial/bezel iteration on bracelet and I love it! It wears very nicely on my 7” circumference wrist.

[LukesPointsandMiles]

i have the black version and I love it. I have an 8"+ wrist and no issues.

[cjpp]

For those with smaller wrists I would just recommend the 39.5mm variant with the 8800 calibre. It’s only available in black or white dials but that’s what most people go for color wise anyway. I’ve come very close to purchasing the 39.5mm black dial a few times.

[Brajin]

I have the 45.5mm planet ocean 2500. The diameter is fine for me, but I definitely like how thinner it is compared to the the modern generation. If these got slimmer I would so consider getting one. Love those planet oceans!

Hi Bruce, I had this exact PO you show in this video, and my wrist is 7 inches. It was kinda-sorta wearable most times but just ended up feeling cumbersome and top heavy after long periods. I got rid of this watch, went with the new 300m Diver and never looked back. The 300m is no slouch either as it has grown in size, but it just wears so much more manageably. BTW, I have a first gen PO as well, the 2201.50, and it's absolutely the best version there is. It was recently serviced by Omega and this one will be going nowhere! Cheers, Rich.

[romanmuradyan]

I bought this watch, the same model in the video. It is very pretty, after a few weeks I don't feel the weight and so, I wear it every day

[ericmoss]

It's a beautiful watch!! As soon as Omega figures out how to thin down the case to ~ 13 to 13.5mm I'll buy one. Even on my 8" wrist these are large cased watches.

[mikesmusicden]

I have the same watch in black. I don't have a big wrist (6.5 - 6.75) and it wears fine. I like a large watch and have never had a problem because of the size. It doesn't wear as big as it sounds.

[stephan]

You said it, "THE MOST POPULAR SEAMASTER INTRODUCE IN THE 60'S". Perfect look, perfect size and perfect thickness. If someone at Omega don't understand that yet, maybe they're would be some more comfortable chairs in other Swatch group departments.

I've the white dial and orange bezel planet ocean and love it. Agree completely that it doesn't wear nearly as big as its size suggests it would. Big watch for sure, but not too big. My wrist is the same, 7.25" and wears absolutely fine.
