Thanks! This piece makes me so happy and is making it difficult to figure out what will be next. As I've acquired the pieces of my desire over time it's been harder and harder to justify getting more. Each time I glance at this though it keeps me honed in on Omega!

Congrats! Own this one (not stock strap, but alternate OEM with deployment) and Rolex Deepsea Blue/Cameron. Love them both!

What a lovely piece! Such a good job they did on the colour combination, wow. Variety you just don't get from a lot of other brands. |

Nice watch, congratulations on your new acquirement. I just got a 300M chronograph. My first diver chronograph. I have a 42 PO 8500. There really nice pieces. I can only imagine how nice a PO chronograph would be. Looks awesome!

^That’s an OE Omega rubber strap/deployant....mega pricey to buy as an accessory but you can buy that POC with the strap instead of the SS bracelet.

Strap
It’s the strap the comes with this model below that I felt would be good. Really adds to the overall look. Deployment also had to be purchased separately, but worth every penny.

Mysteo, I've never seen that variant in person yet. Is the rubber portion of the bezel coveted with a clear coating or is it exposed?
tedo, that strap looks incredible! Such a fine job Omega has done and you've got so many options. Exceptional quality! Quote:
It's very difficult for me to decide what's next after this really. It checks all the boxes for me, in addition to the others I've got. It's tempting to add more of the 300M Chronograph pieces but we'll see in time depending on what deals I find or how badly that Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore calls my name. I'll never sell any of my watches off at this stage, so it's such a careful selection process prior to adding new pieces. |

Wow, that's very neat how Omega was able to achieve this. They only use top notch materials, so I've got no doubt in it's ability to stand the test of time. The entire watch will age very well and that's great news as mine is a keeper for life.
From the looks of it yours won't be going anywhere anytime soon either! |

Oh wow, it looks fantastic! Congrats, you must be SO excited? What was your first impression when you got it sized and placed on your wrist?
I can't think of another watch that offers all this does. Movement innovations, variants, an exhibition case back, super clasp, I can keep on going. Enjoy in good health and keep the pictures coming!!! |

^Thanks! I've had 2500 POs and 3313 Planet Ocean Chronos in the past...So I'm familiar with how they fit/feel...they were great watches, and the last 3313 POC was the most accurate watch that I've owned. I'm probably in the minority in that I prefer the old steel engraved casebacks with the seahorse as I feel it provided a bit more grip on the wrist in the wet than the clear caseback of this one...especially since this is larger/heavier...but that is a minor gripe. I've also had a 116660 DSSD which I loved but always felt it was a tad small (I'm a big guy with an 8" wrist...I love big chunky divers).
In comparison to the DSSD, I prefer the ease of use of the Glidelock over the Omega solution...but it's great that Omega finally has a micro-adjustment clasp. Overall, really loving this new POC tho! |

Image from Google Having the stampings / engravings with the Hippocampus on the back is historically significant for the Seamaster line and Omega on general. Having the best of both worlds of possible is the way. For the new in-house movements though they're far too lovely to have covered in steel. I never saw the DSSD in person at an AD but saw it on people's wrists in the "wild". Absolutely love the watch and wish I had a James Cameron version, but feel the thickness and diameter don't work as well as this Planet Ocean in my opinion. For me the Planet Ocean offers much more, and best of all isn't near impossible to find at MSRP (or below). When I compare the 9300 version to this current 9900 movement they addressed every issues. Some of the 9300 models I see marks on the matte ceramic bezel, somehow while browsing listings. Having a broken line around the bezel is better for measuring elapsed time precisely. The glossy ceramic dial looks a lot better in my opinion (I've tried on both). The end links are more elegant and refined, pivoted for a more tailored fit, the bracelet is less rounded and more refined, the clasp superior with the micro adjustment systems. Also, the case back now has a much more sophisticated and elegant system the tool attaches to. A closeup of the earlier posted shot from an AD years ago. Albeit an incredible watch as well, I still firmly believe Omega made it even better for the models we own. |

I'm a huge fan of the independent hour hand as well, it makes life so much easier with regards to setting and of course timezone changes.
