NEW vs old - Omega Planet Ocean Watch | Watchfinder 

We know you want more watches…. click here: linktr.ee/watchfinder

I still think that the Planet Ocean with the 2500 co-axial caliber is the best version of all the Planet Oceans ever made, it's a modern classic! I just can't stand the thickness of the new models.

The Omega Planet Ocean 600M with the 2500C calibre is a classic and incredibly reliable.

do not stop doing these. these are excellent reviews

Everyone needs to buy one Rolex, but everyone can also agree the planet ocean/seamaster look much better than the Submariner.

PO cal. 2500 is a perfect watch.

This is the most beautiful watch video on RU-vid. Beautiful choice of words, excellent videography. Keep em' comin.

I think I’m going to unsubscribe from all other watch channels on RU-vid. They all seem terrible now after binging a few of your videos.

The PO 2500 is of the best bang for buck luxury watches going for under $3000 used. I have the XL with the orange numerals and prefer the blue rubber strap with orange stitching over the bracelet which I also own. Grab one while you can.

Great video. I think you should have mentioned the 2254.50.00. This was a more fitting dive watch rather than the Bond style 300 professional with skeleton hands.

Why does the bezel of the seamaster 300 look matte here? It looks very shiny in every other video

I bought my Casino Royale PO back in 2007. It has been on my wrist nearly every day since. For my model, I'd like to see an improvement to the rubber strap, the keepers always break and the strap eventually does the same. A ceramic bezel insert would be nice too! Keep up the good work Watchfinder.

Nicely done and incredible macro. Thanks

I own the 2200.50.00 (45mm version of the original 2500 cal PO) and it could possibly be one of the best watches Omega has ever made. It's absolutely gorgeous, super accurate despite never being serviced for 10 years, and it has a timeless design that works in every situation with every outfit. Definitely a modern classic and one that I think will gain a lot more appreciation in years to come.

Buy no watch until it's been reviewed on this chanel.Brilliant source of knowledge. 👍

I love the matte grey ceramic bezel insert on my Planet Ocean 8500. Shiny black ceramic is overused.

I was originally going to buy the SMP 2220.80, but then I saw the PO 2201.50 the first PO aside from the XL. I feel only watch enthusiasts can appreciate watches like these. I cant believe POs are getting cheaper than SMPs just because of its sleek design.

PO is nice, but way too big and thick/tall for my taste.

I have that 2005 model Planet Ocean and I adore it! My first nice watch. I get compliments all the time. It actually gets more attention than my more recent and far more extravagant Dark Side Of The Moon Speedmaster

I have never seen ref 222.30.42.20.01.001. That piece looks amazing, my lord. Perfect proportions from the original with the added cleanness of the ceramic. I wish I knew about this watch when I came out.

Ahhh, you skipped over the Polaris and the 2254 sword-hand diver! The former was a precursor style-wise to the 2531, while the latter was a bridge between the 2531 and the PO. Great video though, I do love how thorough you get with these!

Brilliant, absolutely brilliant review.

I love the sense for details ... like datebook on the watch showing "3" as it would be a numero 3.

Great Review, o love my PO, like it more than my sub, one question, what camera do you use to shoot this close up?

Finaly, someone doing a real technical and historical review. Aweso.job 👍👍👍💪💪💪

Amazing review.... I now love my Planet Ocean all the more 👌🏾

Currently have a speedmaster and considering a planet ocean. The thickness of the planet ocean might put me off.

How many people actually get this watch and then proceed to go deep sea diving?

I absolutely adore the planet ocean. One day I may have enough money saved up to actually own one.

This is the Andertons (Guitars) of the watch world! Keep it up.

The older PO models have the perfect 42mm size, no orange lettering, and that cool thick silver ring on the inner part of the bezel. The new ones have Liquidmetal, far superior and groundbreaking in-house movements, and exhibition casebacks (my favorite). I wish I could get one with all of these elements so bad, it’d be the perfect watch.

Let’s be honest, most people who buy dive watches don’t dive lol.

Although my watch collection is dangerously close to becoming primarily dive focused, I can't get the Planet Ocean out of my mind. It wasn't even on my radar until recently until I saw close ups of the dial and saw that Omega has a sub 40mm version.

He have my watch the Omega PO Master Chronograph 9900 @ 6;38, the difference is have a stailness metal braclet/strap, give me my watch back🤣. No serious I love the Omega brand and the old PO and the Omega 300 Seamaster all the PO are very beautiful, thx for this awesome video🙌💙👍🏻✌

Great video! Is it only me or does anybody else notice the "duller" and less enthusiastic tone of voice of the narator?

I love my PO 2500

This watch was designed for men who gorilla arms.

Thank you for this amazing reviews and for all this great videos. I like to see one review of the Omega planet ocean titanium caliber 8900. Thanks again and continue with this amazing videos

These were the last good Planet Oceans. Current versions are a shiny mess with ceramic dials and glossy hour markers. All light play and no refinement.

Absolutely excellent video, as always. But respectfully; the silicon part in the movement is the balance spring. I have the PO 8500, and I too thought it was the escape wheel, cause it is black. But Omega says it is the balance spring; which is silicon because it is impervious to magnetic fields and retains its size and shape indefinitely.

Very interesting enjoyed it

I think omega has ruined the look of the watch by changing the centre links at 12 and 6 o'clock to female, they looked better as longer male links (as per modern rolex's)

you should have mentioned the 2254.50.00.

My grandpa gave me one of these in black it's so beautiful but it's in a bad shape I wanna restore it but I don't know where can someone help ???

The new Seamaster 300 without the lettering on the dial feat. the lollipop is the simplest and most beautiful timepiece that Omega has offered so far imho. ❤

Beautiful watch but they need to get rid of that ridiculous looking escape valve.

Absolutely awesome video! Thanks!

You are so very very good, thank you. Bob England

easily the best reviews of luxury watches on youtube

Why is it called a Planet Ocean when it has "Seamaster" on the dial?

Nasty wort on the watch tho

Nice video, instructive as usual. Would be nice if you could add a video about 60's and 70's "tool watch" trends especially with Omega's Plopof and mk2.

This is epic guys. Just drop a railmaster vs 300 video which is no where to be find on youtube.

Another excellent video! Thank you! I don't think Patek will ever compete in this arena for several reasons. Both the Aquanaut and the Nautilus are upscale and somewhat sporty, but their paltry 120m WR rating and lack of a rotating bezel keep PP squarely out of the heavy-duty category. Both models are more boating-to-office watches that compete more with the Aqua Terra, Datejust 41 and VC Overseas. They offer a pathetic 2 year warranty and a price point that is two to three times higher than Omega or Rolex. The metrosexual look is only going to appeal to those for whom the PP brand is paramount in their decision process. I think the AP Royal Oak Offshore probably occupies the space that PP should look to if it wants to enter the dive category.

Another awesome video and review, Watchfinder. Please keep them coming!

Very nice review!!! I love it!!! May I request also to have some review on seamaster diver 300 chronograph. Thanks Watchfinder and more power!! God bless.

I have the Seamaster 300.. Love it! Looks spectacular on the Omega Bond nato strap!

So cool, a chronograph that's beyond waterproof.

Could you please give a condition / restauration rating to the vintage pieces shown? Im pretty sure I saw something widely redone and as people use any content to verify their vintage purchases this could be confusing for some. Many thanks in advance, awesome footage! I specially love those comparisons as they give a quick watch size overview as you compare them to the vintages, thats great!

I wish the lighting were better so you could see the watch faces better.

That 1993 seamaster professional is amazing! I've only seen it in all blue. Would love more info on that watch!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE review the Omega new Planet Ocean Olympic 2020 limited edition watch. It is such a beautiful watch. 😍

What is the reference for the blue PO featured in this video?

Wow, your delivery really has improved!

Stunning narrative review, thoroughly enjoyed it. As for the PO - too thick. Tudor and Omega, sort this out please thank you.

Bond, James Bond. The watches.

Outstanding review and video

I keep coming back for the fantastic reviews and the soothing voice

please show the watch, how is the , button, buckle and straps

Excellent video!!!!

Thanks for the video. You let me know more about my PO, and even love it more than ever.

How about the Seamaster 300 Master Coaxial? You've teased that model in both "Old and New" videos already

It’s probably been so enthusiastically embraced because the ‘90s design faithful, faceted bezel, waved dial, and skeleton hands of the regular Seamaster is SO UGLY... imho.

Is this @andrewmorganwatches?

I’m torn between this in 37mm and the Tudor bb36. Help lol

What a great content this channel offers. Congrats!

Superb video

A bit unenthusiastic that one.

These are such excellent videos. I learn a lot from it. Fantastic.

Excellent! Thank you!

Love the liquid metal bit

Been following your channel for a good while now, and came back to this old one because it happened to be on my suggestions. You've come a long way as a youtuber, here you sound so much like reading straight from a paper without much enthusiasm, it is a day and night difference compared to your current, riveting videos; keep up the great work, and thank you on behalf of everyone who can never afford these masterpieces!

I just picked up a new planet ocean Chrono 45.5 and it’s a big heavy thick watch and guess what I absolutely love it! I was watching an action movie and the actor was trying to trade his watch for something I don’t even remember what he was trying to trade for I just remember him saying something like feel the weight of the watch you know it’s real it’s not a fake or something like that and its always stuck with me.

Cool review chap , well put.

Pentax k1000 50mm F2 :p

I recently acquired one of these....a 2011 Planet Ocean. Love it...even more so since my wife got it for me.

I enjoyed my 2500 for a while, but was disappointed by the 8500. It may 'only' be a few mm thicker, but that heft is pretty ridiculous, and when you throw in a sapphire case back, it's even less comfortable. My 8500 was also less accurate than my 2500 which was disappointing. The applied markers being mirrored are hard to read in low light. And the choice to beat at 7bps rather than a more traditional 8bps looks less smooth. My second Planet Ocean also had the first generation ceramic, not the liquid metal, and as such, the bezel didn't even match the face, which is quite inexcusable. In short, I was so disappointed with my last Omega, that it was in fact my last Omega, and I moved to Rolex instead. Even if the Master Chronometer offerings and METAS stuff is good, I fear the horrific depreciation and endless slew of limited and/or special editions which further cheapen the brand. I was an Omega fan for several years and owned three pieces in all. But that last one really pushed me away. Now I'd be scared to give them another look.

Stupid fashion watch with that glass caseback. Not a tool at all.
