Deep black and turquoise

Besides its practicality, the new design is remarkably attractive. Omega’s Planet Ocean series consistently features a contemporary look, with modern typography and a clean, eye-catching design. The two-tone black and turquoise styling perfectly complements this modern design, further enhancing its futuristic aesthetic.

Notably, the all-black design creates an optical illusion, making the watch appear smaller than its substantial dimensions of 45.2 mm in width. Fortunately, the choice of ceramic makes it lightweight and comfortable on the wrist. These details should enhance the watch’s accessibility for people with smaller wrists yet seeking a timepiece with a sporty and majestic presence.

Regatta chronograph

As a chronograph wristwatch designed for the America’s Cup – another historically significant watch with the same inspiration being the Heuer “Skipper” – the Planet Ocean Deep Black ETNZ Edition naturally comes equipped with a regatta countdown function. Taking the form of chronograph elapsed minutes at three o’clock, the regatta countdown is essentially regular elapsed minutes but with the scale changed to countdown, specifically for the 10-minute countdown to the race’s start.

Since the regatta countdown is the most crucial indicator of the chronograph, the entire minute scale has been painted in turquoise for maximum legibility. Furthermore, the usual coaxial chronograph hour hand has been replaced with an opening revealing a disc that indicates the elapsed hours. This separation ensures that it doesn’t interfere with the countdown minute reading.
