The Unlikely Watch Collector: Will Ferrell
When the original Seamaster Planet Ocean was launched in 2005, it arrived with a distinctive bezel and strap in bright orange. While the collection has evolved ever since then, OMEGA has now gone back to the start, with a new model that reprises that classic orange look.
The timepiece begins with a 43.50 mm case in stainless steel. This is the same material used for the fully-brushed bracelet that is seamlessly integrated with the case. There is also OMEGA’s patented extendable foldover rack-and-pusher with an extra diver extension.
The Planet Ocean’s original orange colour is brought to life on the new orange ceramic [ZrO2] bezel ring (new process patent pending). This is further embellished by a diving scale filled with liquid ceramic and Super-LumiNova. The polished dial is in white ceramic [ZrO2] and includes applied Arabic numerals in varnished orange.
Subtle details that shouldn’t escape your attention include the date-window at 3 o’clock, the rhodium-plated hands with white Super-LumiNova, and the orange-tipped central seconds hand.
Through the sapphire crystal caseback, wearers can view the OMEGA Co-Axial Master Chronometer Calibre 8900. The movement and the full watch have been officially certified by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology (METAS).
