SWISS luxury watch manufacturer Omega launched their Seamaster Planet Ocean collection at The Saujana Hotel, Kuala Lumpur where guests were given a peek at the exquisite timepieces.
“Omega’s Seamaster Planet Ocean timepieces are at the forefront of divers’ watches. We were also the ones who launched the world’s first diver’s watch, which was the Omega Marine in 1932.
“It is through this that we have a close relationship with sea adventurers and marine explorers,” said Omega South-East Asia vice-president David Ponzo.
Hong Kong actor/producer and Omega ambassador Simon Yam made an appearance at the event. Guests were treated to a cocktail reception by the pool and the unveiling of Omega’s Seamaster Planet Ocean range of watches.

“What I love most about the Omega brand is its functionality and style. Omega is constantly changing to be more innovative and new, which is very inspiring,” said Yam, who is the owner of 60 Omega watches.
Needless to say, the Planet Ocean Seamaster series of watches are Yam’s favourite.
“It is a good watch to travel with,” he added.
The watches in the Omega’s Seamaster Planet Ocean collection have been held in equally high regard for their professional divers’ features, their style and their innovative co-axial technology since they were introduced in 2005.
Exquisite: Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Co-Axial Chronometer. Omega has upgraded the entire family and each of the new Planet Oceans is equipped with one of the brand’s revolutionary family of in-house co-axial calibres — the 8500/8501, the 8520/8521 or the new 9300 chronograph.
The movements also have the Si 14 silicon balance spring and the combination is so stable and reliable that Omega offers all of the new Planet Ocean watches with a full four-year warranty.
Like every Planet Ocean, the new watches are ready for underwater adventure and are equipped with unidirectional rotating bezels, helium escape valves and water resistance to 60 bar/600m/2,000ft.
The applied indexes on the dials of the watches in the new Planet Ocean family are coated with white Super-LumiNova emitting a blue light as are the polished, facetted rhodium-plated hands. The exception is the minute hand, which emits a green light, as does the dot on the diving bezel. This feature makes it easy for divers to keep track of their underwater time at a glance.
The Seamaster Planet Ocean 45.50mm Titanium Liquidmetal® Chronograph
One of the stars of the new Planet Ocean collection is distinguished by its unusual mix of new materials. Its 45.50mm case is made of grade 5 titanium. It means that this very lightweight element has been alloyed with small amounts of aluminium and vanadium and is particularly hard.
It has a striking blue ceramic bezel whose scaling and numbers are made of zirconium-based alloy called Liquidmetal.
Omega was the first watchmaker to blend ceramic and Liquidmetal in 2009 when it released a limited edition Seamaster with a black ceramic dial and the unique alloy.
The union of blue ceramics and Liquidmetal in the new Planet Ocean model is another world premiere. The hardness of the materials means that these two innovative materials will maintain their appearance indefinitely.
The timepiece is presented on a blue integrated rubber strap that complements the blue ceramic bezel. It is also available with a titanium bracelet. It is also equipped with a Si 14 silicon balance spring.
The Seamaster Planet Ocean 42.00mm - Calibre 8500
The Seamaster Planet Ocean 42.00mm divers’ watch is also available with a stainless steel case and a number of configurations as well as powered by the Omega Co-Axial calibre 8500 and is equipped with a Si 14 silicon balance spring. The most luxurious has a diamond-paved bezel set with 42 diamonds weighing a total of 2.14 carats and a white lacquered dial. It is also available with a broad selection of bezels including matt orange aluminium or black or white ceramic.
The Seamaster Planet Ocean 37.50mm - Calibre 8520
There are also 37.50mm Planet Ocean wristwatches in stainless steel, powered by the Co-Axial calibre 8520 and available in a range of appealing models. They are equipped with a Si 14 silicon balance spring.
They come with either black or white ceramic bezel that glistens with 42 diamonds with a weight of 1.55 carats.
The selection of straps includes a choice of black or white integrated leather.
The 37.50mm Planet Ocean watches in stainless steel are also available with bracelets in the same metal.
