Planet Ocean Chronograph finishes its Power Reserve Test at 65 hours but a shocker.
65 hours of power reserve is well above its 60 hour spec but that’s not the real surprise.
While keeping a log of its accuracy during the power reserve test has stunned me with its accuracy. It has kept a 0.0+ perfect time keeping for 64 hours of that power reserve test. That is unheard of in my experience. I have owned a lot of watches but never has a movement been so stable and consistent throughout its power reserve. I don’t know how Omega is keeping the amplitude so strong for so long??? It’s a rock star. |

Such a beautiful watch. DavidSW has one recently and it was gone before I could inquire about it.

I have had a similar experience with my 43.5 titanium PO. The movement is shockingly perfect. I can’t wait to take it for an upcoming Bahamas trip.

It's my understanding that the dual mainspring barrels distribute the power more evenly as they unwind as opposed to a single mainspring that loses accuracy as the power reserve dwindles down.
I have the same time keeping experience with my Seamaster 300 Master Co-Axial. The new Omega movements are very impressive from what I've experienced so far. |

Yup, these latest movements from Omega are world class. The only downside is the thickness. They are crazy bulky, especially in the seamaster case. Will probably add another soon as I don’t mind larger watches.

I did the coat sleeve test going to a dive and haven’t notice any more difficulties than any other diver I own. To sum it up the watch looks thicker on paper than its design would wear. |

It seems the case thickness was just a design decision more than anything. The Planet Ocean has a 600m water resistance/pressure rating and that over-engineering adds to the case thickness. You'd find similarly thick cases on a Tudor Pelagos or DSSD. |

The bigger POC MC with signature orange and gloss ceramic ticks all my boxes as it has a tremendous high quality wrist presence without looking like it’s trying to be a piece of bling jewelry. I would guess I won’t see many if any in the wild either. I will be taking this one on another 2 week family Disney World vacation this winter. We go every year and the watch spotting at the resorts is so fun as it’s such a international crowd. Nothing like seeing a 13 year old girl with a SS Daytona and Prada backpack on the monorail. Orlando is a great watch town. |

My new Aqua Terra is the same way, the METAS spec and performance in the real world are very impressive
