It's pretty hard to find a watch enthusiast looking for a diver's watch to be not taken by the Planet Ocean series from the Omega Seamaster family. First introduced in 2005, Planet Ocean was the first Omega watch to be equipped with the now-popular co-axial escapement. This reference 215.30.46.51.01.002 is an aesthetically dynamic model with a black ceramic unidirectional bezel carrying a bright orange coating and a Liquidmetal diving scale. This 600m water-resistant timepiece clearly delivers on all the requisites of a great diving watch, conspicuous contrast being one of them, here achieved through the bezel.

Planet Ocean's distinctive elements that make it instantly recognisable are all present in this reference. The characteristic bevelled lugs, the knurled crown, and the helium escape valve at 10 o'clock - all contribute to making this watch unmistakable. The stainless steel case is 45.5mm wide and houses a black dial where luminous hour indexes and hands are paired with orange Arabic numerals at 12. The watch displays the date through a window at six o'clock and also features a time-zone function.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
