The Planet Ocean

That's cool, I did not realize this model has a fully lumed bezel.

Sad that there’s no full orange bezel in the current line-up.

There’s a red-orange bezel one though.

Am still convincing myself on which PO to go for -
the James Bond or the orange bezel.

No doubts the POLMLE is THE PO to own 😀

Note that the date indicator font is not 100% reliable - people have asked me to change the date indicators in the C to the one from the D. I refused, but it's possible others may do it without thinking.

Hi im a big guy and for me the 45.5 PO´s are perfect size, i wear one everyday. I own three but i just wanted to share my latest purchase..... The Planet Ocean Volvo Ocean Race LE of only 73 pieces worldwide... i feel VERY lucky to own this watch.....

Can I politely ask why? I didn't realise this would be frowned upon. Or is it more to do with ordering the incorrect parts from Omega and putting your account in jeopardy?

I have a 2500C 42mm PO and the Omega 722250091440E41 date wheel from a 2500D and was going to ask for it to be swapped when it next goes in for a service. I could swap it myself but would be worried about water ingress so wouldn't bother unless I did it immediately before I send it to STS. I just prefer the look of the new font over the standard ETA disk on the 2500C.

The biggest let down of the earlier 2500C PO's in my opinion is the AR coating on the crystal is not as nice as the newer ones. It shows the scratches much more where it has the strong blue/purple colour.

I'm another vote for the original 2500 42mm. I reckon the orange bezel of the 2500 is the original representation of the unique colourway of the PO line and therefore just as iconic as the black.

I had an 8500 with grey ceramic bezel also in the past. Awesome watch in terms of finish and quality, but by comparison it was a lot heavier and harder to wear as a daily.

NICE! Where does this was have gold on it?

I also vote for the 42 mm PO 2500. Here’s mine from 2010. The older, pre-ceramic bezels faded nicely. Works great on the original, albeit somewhat heavy, bracelet with its nice soft edges, as pictured above. Also looks and wears great on a NATO or a vintage Horween leather strap, as pictured here. Accurate as hell! Black or orange bezel, whichever you prefer, but the 2500 is the way to go.

This was always my favorite. This really is the one watch I do regret selling. We all make mistakes.
