Omega has taken the Seamaster Planet Ocean to a new level with the new Dark Grey Titanium GMT watch. This timepiece features a titanium case, bezel, movement, and dial, making it incredibly lightweight and durable. It is also the first Omega watch to use silicon nitride ceramic on a large scale, which is a material that is even lighter and more scratch-resistant than titanium.
The Dark Grey Titanium GMT is powered by the Omega 8906 Ti movement, which is a bi-directional self-winding GMT movement with a 60-hour power reserve. It is also METAS certified, which means that it has been tested to withstand magnetic fields of up to 15,000 gauss.
The watch measures 45.5mm wide and 17.4mm thick, making it a large and imposing timepiece. However, its lightweight construction makes it very comfortable to wear. It comes on a rubber strap with a woven design and a titanium buckle.
The dial of the Dark Grey Titanium GMT is dark grey sand-blasted titanium with black coated, polished dial furniture. The hands and hour markers are lumed, making the watch easy to read in low light conditions.
The watch has a helium escape valve at 10 o'clock, which is a feature that is common on dive watches. This valve allows helium gas to escape from the watch while it is under pressure, which prevents the watch from exploding.
The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Dark Grey Titanium GMT is a truly unique and impressive watch. It is a testament to Omega's engineering prowess and its commitment to innovation.
Comparison to the Rolex Yacht-Master in RLX Titanium
