I don't know if this has been discussed before. As a "professional" dive watch, orange bezel with black lettering seems to be a bad combination under water. Since only blue light reaches to reasonable depth, the orange color will turn dark to near black, and you end up with black letter on black bezel, unless, of course, you depend on artificial lights. I don't own any dive watches other than black so I don't know how it actually looks under water.

Not in the 1 meter distance it matters.

I’ve also got a first Gen planet ocean with the orange bezel. Mine is the 3313 45.5 chronograph though.

infind the orange is loud but not ostentatious, and the orange is visible underwater when I have dove with it. Even on night dives with a flashlight I had no issues.

I'll let you know how this fairs in a few weeks time when I try this colour combi out 😀 Not anticipating a similar issue

The orange helps you spot the PO from across the bar
