Omega Planet Ocean Master Chronometer 215.30.40.20.01.001 39.5mm. $5,500.00 CAD. 510-00187

Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean watches are becoming more collectible all the time. The flagship of the Sea-Master line has been around since 2005. The models with the super scratch-resistant ceramic bezels are always snapped up quickly in our estate department. Our latest Planet Ocean is this slightly smaller size version made to a comfortable 39.5mm diameter. The actual measurement our digital caliper is 40.6mm. This the the perfect dimension for the average sized gentleman’s wrist. It’s one of the models that everyone’s looking for with the Omega’s in-house developed 35 jewel calibre 8800. All 200 plus components were designed and manufactured in Omega’s workshops. The movement features lots of cool technology like Omega’s proprietary co-axial escapement, silicon hairspring, slightly slower 25,200 cycle per hour frequency, a long 55 hour power reserve using 1 mainspring, bi-directional winding rotor, blackened screws, balance wheel, mainspring barrel and more. The slightest movement of your wrist causes the weighted rotor to spin, efficiently and silently winding the movement. The micro-mechanical masterpiece is visible through the display case back. This movement has taken the chronometer rating a step further with its METAS certification. Each Omega mechanism equipped with a “Master Chronometer” calibre is certified by the Swiss Federal Office of Metrology (METAS). The testing goes above and beyond the typical COSC chronometer standards. METAS requires all the movements to already be COSC certified but also be stable when exposed to magnetic fields of up to 15,000 gauss. The accuracy requirements are also tighter than COSC. A final test confirming the manufacturer’s water resistance rating is conducted on the complete watch with the movement installed. Being a Seamaster all the regular sporty diver features are here. Watertight to 2000 feet, one-way ratcheting bezel, helium escape valve, locking buckle with concealed fine adjustment extension, bright oversized luminous hands and hour markers plus the more basic details of threaded crown/case back, etc. New new this Seamaster Planet Ocean 215.30.40.20.01.001 had a suggested retail price of $9,600.00 CAD and can be seen on the Omega website. Our 39.5mm gently worn example is estate priced at $5,500.00 CAD. It looks to have only been worn a few times, with only a few very light scuffs on the bracelet and case. All the accessories and packaging are in perfect condition, the plastic protective sticker is still on hinge release button. Included with the watch are the original box, foam-lined outer box, instruction booklet, card wallet, instructions, hang tag, and even the original brown cardboard shipping box, but it is missing the original endorsed warranty card. Bill Le Boeuf Jewellers is pleased to include a complimentary one-year warranty with the purchase on this watch. Estate priced at $5,500.00 CAD.  Stock number #510-00187.
