I'm considering one of the black/white Planet Ocean GMTs to complement my Speedmaster. Looking for something that I won't have to worry about in the pool, etc.

If you have one, I'd love to see! I also have my eyes on the classifieds section for one!

Here's my Oreo with it's 2230.50 brother. The Oreo GMT is the best Omega diver hands down. I also have it on the rubber strap today. It's better to buy it with the steel bracelet and add the strap to change it up.

Such a beautiful watch! OP, I can see why you want one of these. The Planet Ocean is my favourite dive watch now.

Great looking watch! I love the B&W GMT.... any shots from the side? I tried one on once but felt that the thickness was a bit much.... What are your thoughts?

Thanks for all the pics, guys! Joined the club!

jets · 10 June 2021, 11:30 AM

Right on. I had this lying around and put it on. 1mm too narrow but what the hell...

Congrats! This one has me torn. I like it, but not sure I would for an extended period of time. It looks like a super fun watch and I really want to pick up a PO. I’ve got some more thinking and trying on to do.

Ironically, just got the call that a Batman was available for me from a local AD. Way too much money spent this week, but I’m a happy man!

The Oreo is one of my favorite watches and my first love for omega. I couldn’t afford it before and now have other watches on the list but I hope to get one one day as it is just the perfect color combo And an awesome timepiece.

You’ll love it.

Planet ocean for the win!

Love that planet ocean GMT

Hampshirescott · 15 June 2021, 07:59 AM

Love a planet ocean. I’ve had the 8500 45.5mm steel one. Seemed massive!! Then the 43.5 blue ceramic 8900 Po. Nice but didn’t gel completely. Now I have the 45.5mm Deep Black GMT. Wow! Epic. So cool. Wears small. Love it.

Here’s one.

I was terrified to wear this with the factory leather strap so I bought an aftermarket, rubber-backed leather strap. It's 1mm more narrow than the OIEM strap but it's barely noticeable except in the case of an extreme close-up. It's a compromise I can live with.

Love to 18K Gold version too! Completely forgot I had tried this on a few years back at an AD.

menellis · 20 August 2021, 12:24 AM

I am new to the site, and digging up this older post. I love the look of the B&W GMT as well, and looking at it as my first "premium" watch. I do have the same concern about the thickness. Any thoughts for a potential newbie?

Apollo1218 · 13 February 2022, 06:03 PM

Have the Oreo. Beautiful watch IMO.

My GMT. I picked it up a couple of weeks ago. I’m a big PO fan. I’ve purchased 6 between myself and ones I’ve given to my family. Still have 4 of them.

shalako · 14 February 2022, 01:00 AM

Fantastic watches IMHO and great value compared to the premium folk are having to pay for a Rolex GMT these days, not sure who came up with the name Oreo though, should be called the Orca surely with it’s ocean links.

They did a really good job with this color combo and the bezel. Very cool and unique PO.

Awesome watch. The “Orca” is fitting!
