What is the most beautiful Omega diver in your opinion?

I've had many Omega divers over the years, but IMO the original Planet Ocean is the most perfect design wise. There's nothing on the first PO that I don't like. How about you? What is the most beautiful Omega diver in your opinion?

Love it Art. The Seamasters are great in general but the first PO is the one IMO. I had the 2200.50 (black) and bought back my orange 2208.50 some months ago, but I'll change it a bit instead of buying a second one this time. My watchmaker is the official Omega service center here, so I ordered a complete black bezel, black & white dial and a new seconds hand and in about a month I'll have the full black look like the old one I had (second pic) that I prefer.

Very nice. I always like this watch. Just never bought one when new. I like the strap and I’m not much of a strap guy. It’s one tough strap. The lume is amazing. I know it has the 2500c. No box and papers. I would have preferred that. But I wanted the watch. I estimate it’s from 2012 ish. I might contact Omega with the serial number to see if they will give me any info. The strap had no wear. Like the watch was hardly worn.

It looks like new. I'm sure you'll be very happy with this one.

I dig an all-orange Planet Ocean. I think the first-generation version is the best looking all-orange Planet Ocean, but if I were buying one for myself it would probably be the current model with Caliber 8900 and the partially orange bezel.

However, I love this '57 Trilogy Seamaster, and have been stalking pre-owned offerings lately. If the right bargain comes along then I just may pounce

This is the one I like the best. 42mm titanium PO with the 8500 movement.

What is the most beautiful Omega diver in your opinion?



Have been eyeing this one. Saw it in person at an Omega AD and I think it’s a very handsome watch.

I should add that I have very little experience with Omega other than owning a speedmaster reduced several years ago. May not be aware of the multitude of diver’s available in the Omega range both new and old.

The first gem PO is the one for me. Lovely watch, despite not being the most versatile.

I have to say the steel/sedna 300M Diver or Diver Chrono do it for me on black strap!

Gorgeous, with a touch of sophistication.

Love the 2254 sword hands version. Good enough for Ray Donovan.

Technically I think it’s the POC Master Chronometer simply because it has no peers. No other hard core diver is as functional as a dive watch. Buttons that can be pushed underwater, METAS movement, ceramic dial bezel, exhibition case back, two dial chronograph, etc....
After diving with a underwater chronograph in combo with a dive bezel this summer, it established a new high standard of function and form.
