Getting back into Omega…possible PO

I’m looking to get back into the world of Omega. I refuse to play the Rolex game. Always been been a fan of the PO chrono’s. Any thoughts on this color combo?

PO are big chunky watches. They are however very colourful and blingy. I think Orange is a staple colour in the PO lineup and is my personal favourite.

I'd say atleast try it on and see how it wears on your wrist. Good luck.

I am looking at the PO line myself so my next stop will be a visit to the AD to compare the various sizes as they are a bit chunky.

I used to wear a Rolex DSSD. I do like the size and chunkier size of the PO.

Color combo is great, just try the PO Chrono first, its super chunky. I guess it would look more so on a Nato

That colour combination is fantastic! It's a great watch and we're on the same page, as life is too short for the games in this hobby.

I've got one (Blue) and I'm grateful to have it:











It's a fantastic watch to have in your collection.

Love the blue! I wasn’t really sure about the color combo on the one I’m looking at. Seems like it’s a hit!

Thanks! Yours is definitely a hit and worth consideration. It's very unique in the best of ways and several members here have one like it if I recall correctly. Hopefully they'll post some pictures.

It's the ultimate dive watch in my opinion. Have you been able to try one on yet? I bought mine sight unseen and couldn't be happier for what it's worth.

I have the 45mm PO 3 hander
Love it
A Orange Chrono is on my radar ATM
Agree with trying it on first, theyre big but wear well
I actually found the PO Chronos to wear better than their Seamaster Chrono Cousin

PLANET OCEANS (43.5 pictured on my 6 3/4" wrist) are HUGE and I love them. 16.3 tall is like a SUPER MODEL!! Chronos?? Even BIGGER!! As mentioned, I love them, but not so much (For me.) on a NATO. Regardless, welcome back and let us know, illustrared with pictures, what you decide!!

Great watches and a lot of fun. I have owned several over the years but the titanium version in the OP's original post is one of my favorites.

I’ve got a 7.5 inch wrist and I’m a bigger guy. Pretty sure I can pull it off.

Just picked up the two tone PO and am still in love! Only thing I can see detering one from this line is the size..it's SUBSTANTIAL. But I am a bigger guy and it fits and wears well for me. I love it so much I'll be picking up the Orange SS as well but on the bracelet cause it's just so comfortable and I'm not a huge fan of the stock NATO. Can NOT go wrong in my opinion. And, yes, the Rolex game is just stupid right now and I think it's a great opportunity to explore brands that really do offer value.

Happy to hear this! I can't recall in USD, but maybe some members here will know. If not, an Omega boutique or Swatch Group US can confirm the current part price. Very excited and following this thread closely!

Getting back into Omega…possible PO

The Planet Ocean series is my favourite all-time watch design out there. I absolutely love everything about my 43.5mm PO; the chunky size, the noticeable weight and most of all, the design.... including the HE valve.

Can't go wrong with any Planet Ocean. I found this more unique colour combo the best.

That watch certainly has a lot of wrist presence!

Loving my 42mm blue titanium version, so mine says hello!

I’ve got a 7.5 inch wrist. Fits me very well. The quality is outstanding! Rolex with their out of control pricing lost my future business. Omega has gained it!
