 Omega Men's 2200.51.00 Seamaster Planet Ocean XL Automatic Chronometer Stainless Steel Watch By: Omega Average Rating: 4.5 Total Reviews: 7 More Information BEWARE Anti Glare coating SCRATCHES !  On: 2009-08-14Only 2 stars for this watch. While i do not own this particular brand, i do own a Planet Ocean 2200.50.00 which has the DOUBLE ANTI GLARE ( anti glare on inside and outside of crystal ). The watch looks great, no complaints about that. Take note before you buy any of these watches from Omega that have the Double anti glare. THEY SCRATCH EASILY !! Mine scratched after 2 months and Omega will not warranty it. In fact, if you go to their website, they dont even have a customer service number and it states this: "Due to the considerable interest shown in the OMEGA brand, our staff is answering an unprecedented number of inquiries. Therefore, you should expect a response time of at least four weeks. We thank you for your patience and understanding." ONLY THROUGH EMAIL I feel that after spending $4000 on a watch, that they should replace it or at least re-imburse the cost. They do not and will not, so you are stuck with a scratched watch. Save your bucks and get a ROLEX or Tag. Customer service on these Omegas are NILL ! the name is bond, james bond  On: 2009-02-16i bought this watch about one month ago, and i look at it every day and still love it!! the sapphire crystal is beautiful and the way the watch feels on my arm is just great!!! originally, i had a rolex submariner date, but like this watch much more and have now sold my rolex. i have big wrists, so the 45mm watch face looks better than a 39mm rolex submariner. in addition, since the submariner is "too popular", this planet ocean stands out of the crowd---especially because of the red numbers. furthermore, it is now the official james bond watch ;) one catch is that the watch is very heavy, about 1/2 lbs, but that isnt an issue for me. hope you enjoy the watch as much as i do! Omega On: 2008-08-13As one would expect, the Omega watch that I purchased was an excellent 10th anniversary gift! While my husband has one Omega, this is an updated version. It is exquisite and all that I hoped for. Customer service was excellent and timely. One word of caution -- you also need to purchase a winder if you dont wear the watch every day. Functional & rugged indulgence On: 2008-02-22I finally pulled the trigger on this luxury sport watch as my first Omega. I have to say it compares favorably with my Rolex Datejust and GMT-Master II. The clasp is definitely better. So far, the watch is 2.5 seconds fast over the course of 7 days. My Rolexes have never been as accurate -- this is surprising accuracy for any automatic. Absolutely wonderful and worth more than it's price! On: 2008-01-02I bought this watch as a gift to myself for Christmas. Spent a month looking at other brands, comparing prices, features, and listening to what others had to say. Finally got it and have not regretted it one bit. I also considered the Tag Heuer Aquaracer Chrono, which was also a beautiful watch (cheaper), and the ROlex SubMariner (way more expensive) but the Omega Plannet ocean provided the build quality, brand, and looks that I wanted.

Love it On: 2007-12-24I have had this watch for about 5 months now and still love it. My only word of advice would be to make sure you are comfortable with wearing a watch that is this big, and this heavy! ...it weighs half a pound! The last sport watch you'll ever need to buy. by: free_delivery_tracking On: 2007-09-14 The last sport watch youll ever need to buy. This review refers to the Model 2218.50, XL version (45 mm case) with steel bracelet. The opinions of the movement, adjustment and reliability are also applicable to the model with rubber strap and leather / lizard strap. This is a hefty timepiece, it weighs 9+ ounces (over half a pound), it feels and exudes quality and is bound to illicit a glance and a double take. The domed double anti glare sapphire crystal is super sharp and sometimes hard to determine it is even there. The exterior is a combination of brushed and polished stainless steel, most notably the trademark Omega horns are this blended finish. The screw down crown is adorned with the Omega logo and easy to open, the first position enables manual winding for a power boost, the helium escape valve at 10:00 is adorned with the periodic symbol "He". Clockwise turns of the crown in second position adjusts the date forward, the date cant be adjusted backwards. Time adjustment is easy and rapid; no adjustment for seconds is available. The unidirectional bezel rotates counter clockwise 120 clicks and lines up perfectly with every second marker, the solid feel of the rotation is nothing less than youd expect from an Omega. The luminescent material of this watch is a glow magnet, just a few seconds exposure to sunlight or held close to a lamp will turn the face of this watch into a lighthouse! Combined with the chrome and split bezel hands of the subdials and this timepiece can be used as a signal mirror for low flying aircraft. The Omega 3313 movement is identical to their 3303 movement except the 3313 has the co-axial escapement, this is the same movement inside the Omega DeVille and will be used in future models. The accuracy of this watch is only surpassed by my Omega SeaMaster Quartz 300 2221.80, my Quartz Omega never loses or gains a second and the PO gains less than 5 seconds a week. The days I dont wear it, I spend 60 seconds winding it and store it standing vertically for optimum movement. The bracelet includes the scuba extension of all SeaMasters, but has no convenience pins for rapid adjustment or for bodily weight fluctuation. It releases easily with the double release pins and feels confidently closed when clasped. Ive performed testing of the power reserve, it continues to function about 43 hours with a full wind. The watch can also function with a running chronograph for over 40 hours on a full wind, that is impressive. Overall, Id recommend this watch for anyone who wants an exquisite sport timepiece which isnt out of place at a formal, like all of the Omegas made before it; I expect this watch to endure for my grandchildren and their grandchildren. |
