It seems that the replica Planet Ocean has been around for as long as many of us have been watch fans and enthusiasts, as a major model in the Omega line that fits in as comfortably as the Speedmaster. In this article I am going 
to go through the evolution of the Planet Ocean watch and track the different models, main milestones, and short but robust history of this replica amazing dive watch.
However, the Planet Ocean came rather late in modern Omega history. The Seamaster Professional arrived in 1993 and was the watch first used in Omega’s second-greatest marketing feat.
Sometimes, I find myself frustrated with the historical baggage so many watches I love are saddled with. What I mean by “baggage” can mean many aspects: unwillingness to innovate due to a romanticized view of a piece’s history; watches concentrated on anniversaries or years commemorating landmarks; ad nauseam mention of iconic “effortlessly cool” celebrities who wore a watch 50 years ago. 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. It’s apparently significant to note that that my points above are restricted to the Plant Ocean, not Omega as a whole because that’s a completely different conversation altogether.
The replica Omega invented the Planet Ocean to be a contemporary luxury dive watch that would compete with the “tried and true” comparable offerings like the elegant replica Rolex Submariner. It’s also worth noting that the Seamaster line overall has always been intended as more of a luxury piece in the body of a solid tool watch instead of a tool watch that finally found its way on the wrists of well-heeled watch fans.
The Planet Ocean was the first diver Omega outfitted with their calibre 2500 movement that featured a co-axial escapement, and it came in three variations when it was released. The first Planet Oceans came in either 42mm or 45.5mm, with a black or orange bezel. The color orange is the unofficial color of the Planet Ocean line, claimed to be one of the most 
visible colors underwater, but I have a feeling the aesthetic stamp was alluring to the replica Omega as well.
The first generation of Planet Ocean fake watches featured the aluminum bezel, about 1/3 of which was the untreated inner ring with the outer 2/3 being done in either black or orange. The 120-click coin edged unidirectional bezel is one of the aesthetic markers and tactile standouts of the Planet Ocean line, joined with the signature helium escape valve at 10 o’clock which has carried through into every Planet Ocean watch. It’s a somewhat vestigial addition that can be about as divisive a characteristic as date windows, and personally I would like the choice to not have a helium escape valve.
We still have many other different models to share with you, let’s talk next time, you will benefit a lot.
