Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M '2014 Sochi Olympic Games'

Overall Condition: Excellent condition overall. Case shows minimal signs of wear. Dial and matching handset are as-new.

The Seamaster 300 line was Omega's response to the Rolex Submariner upon its introduction in 1957.

Featuring a robust steel case with a 300-meter depth rating, a rotating bezel graduated with a dive-timing scale, and a metal bracelet with diver's expansion links, the early Seamaster 300 was not only a functional diver that would go on to see use in Her Majesty's Navy, but arguably one of the handsomest sports watch designs of the past century.

As it evolved, the Omega Seamaster 300 went on to see numerous evolutionary changes — indeed, nearly innumerable variants in a variety of materials and colorways have been produced in the past 60 years. This fact alone has made the Seamaster Professional watches (as they came to be known) more desirable than their Rolex counterparts to a large portion of the collector community — simply because they don't all look exactly the same.

One of the latest additions to the Seamaster lineage is the Planet Ocean. Introduced in 2005, these watches feature a chunkier case design with a ’broad arrow’ handset, a new bracelet design, revised dial configurations, and increased water resistance — all of which make it a worthy competitor to the gold standard of professional grade diving watches: The Rolex Sea-Dweller.

This example, a Reference 522.33.38.20.04.001, features a 38mm twisted-lug case, sapphire crystal, a white unidirectional ceramic timing bezel, gloss white dial with tri-color indices and ‘broad arrow’ handset, a beautiful white alligator strap and a matching deployant stainless steel buckle. Finally, this piece is topped off with a helium escape valve at 10 o’clock. This piece was made for the 2014 Sochi Olympic games as a special edition Seamaster.

If you're looking for a wearable, out of the ordinary Seamaster, this is the one to get. With fun Olympic prominence and a more modest 38mm case, it's an incredibly wearable diver packing 600M of water resistance
