The PO begins with a 42mm stainless steel case (actually about 41.7mm without crown; 44.4mm crown inclusive) with beautifully executed brushed and polished finishing and Omega’s classy ‘turned in’ lugs. As previously mentioned, a domed sapphire crystal caps the dial and exhibits no reflections whatsoever, due to the coating that is applied. Lugs are 20mm, case thickness is 14.2mm.
The caseback screws down and is an example of perfection with its clean and minimal design. Minimal printing encircles the border with an artfully crafted and absolutely lovely heavily embossed Seamaster seahorse logo in the center, which is presented in deep relief and polished to perfection. The logo looks like a proof coin from the U.S. mint, it is truly that spectacular.
The PO is also a no-nonsense diver, good for 600 meters of water resistance, with a screw down, signed manually activated helium escape valve (HEV) and a screw down, signed main crown.
Inside the PO ticks Omega's Caliber 2500 co-axial escapement movement, with a rated power reserve of 48 hours, which was met in my testing lab. This movement is also chronometer certified, and perhaps my only disappointment with my PO is that it barely achieves chronometer performance, running about -5 seconds per day (this from a brand new watch not previously owned or worn). Yes, that is still good performance, but considering my Seamaster Pro still runs at +1 per day after eight years, I expected better. I’m sure a tweak to the regulation would cure its ‘just’ chronometer performance, but for now, it stays as is.
The Caliber 2500 is an ETA 2892-2 base movement with 27 jewels. Omega tweaks this base movement, adds the co-axial escapement and tops it all off with a rhodium plated finish, among other decorations.
The dial on the PO is a pleasing matte black with applied luminous markers and screened arabics at 12, 6 and 9. A quickset date window (with white on black calendar wheel) is at the 3 position. The broad arrow hands are executed to perfection with inset lume, with the orange/red tipped second hand sporting a small arrow of lume near its tip. Lume, as with any watch in the Seamaster lineup, is bright and long lasting, consistently among the best in the business.
The bracelet on the PO is rather plain in my eyes, fully brushed with a three link design of simplicity. The classic Omega pushbutton brushed clasp is signed ‘Seamaster’ and ‘Planet Ocean’ and works great, with a machined deployant and machined diver extension. Bracelet sizing was much easier than on my Seamaster Pro, the link pins and collars were removed without a fuss. Since there are no micro-adjustment holes on the clasp, Omega includes half-links to achieve a better bracelet fit. Luckily, the fit on my PO is pretty good. The bracelet measures 20mm at the lugs and tapers to about 17.9mm at the clasp.
