It’s obviously important to note that that my points above are restricted to the Planet Ocean, not the brand as a whole because that’s an entirely different conversation altogether.

I love that the Planet Ocean line has to deal with none of this and can proudly present itself as a genuinely modern dive watch offering. Demille wore just before the Roaring Twenties). What I mean by “baggage” can mean a lot of things: unwillingness to innovate because of a romanticized view of a piece’s history watches focused on anniversaries or years commemorating landmarks ad nauseam mention of iconic “effortlessly cool” celebrities who wore a watch 50 years ago (seriously, imagine it’s 1970 and watch enthusiasts are losing their minds over what Charlie Chaplin or Cecil B. Too often, I find myself frustrated with the historical baggage so many watches I love are saddled with.

Indeed, the Seamaster Professional (SMP) adorned the wrist of Pierce Brosnan’s take on James Bond 007 in 1995’s Goldeneye (the Planet Ocean got this honor over a decade later in 2006’s Casino Royale). The Seamaster Professional arrived in 1993 and was the watch first used in their second-greatest marketing feat (after the Speedmaster being the “Moon Watch,” of course). Of course, in modern Omega history, the Planet Ocean came fairly late.
