Leaving aside, for the sake of brevity, the details on the many patented gold alloys (Sedna, Moonshine, Canopus), let\u2019s recall that the brand has been employing ceramic for cases and dials for years. It is precisely ceramic that we are talking about for the new Seamaster Planet Ocean Dark Grey \u2013 but a\u00a0<strong>special kind of ceramic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>SILICON NITRIDE<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is\u00a0<strong>silicon nitride<\/strong>\u00a0ceramic, a first for Omega. For those unfamiliar with chemistry, formulas and balancing, here are a few hints about this material. It is composed of silicon and nitrogen (its chemical formula is Si3N4), and regarding what we are interested in \u2013 namely its use in watchmaking \u2013 it presents some very interesting characteristics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To begin with, it is chemically inert, very resistant to oxidation, resistant to thermal shock and wear. Then, not an insignificant detail, it has a low density and is therefore\u00a0<strong>very light<\/strong>: 60 percent lighter than steel and twice as light as the zirconium oxide-based ceramic that Omega uses on some Seamasters. In addition, it is\u00a0<strong>extremely hard<\/strong>. Its hardness value is 8.5 on the Mohs scale, at the top of which is diamond, that is rated at 10.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Omega_Seamaster_Planet_Ocean_Dark_Grey_Watch_Insanity_02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Omega_Seamaster_Planet_Ocean_Dark_Grey_Watch_Insanity_02-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Dark Grey \" class=\"wp-image-21982\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Omega_Seamaster_Planet_Ocean_Dark_Grey_Watch_Insanity_02-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Omega_Seamaster_Planet_Ocean_Dark_Grey_Watch_Insanity_02-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Omega_Seamaster_Planet_Ocean_Dark_Grey_Watch_Insanity_02-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Omega_Seamaster_Planet_Ocean_Dark_Grey_Watch_Insanity_02-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Omega_Seamaster_Planet_Ocean_Dark_Grey_Watch_Insanity_02-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Omega_Seamaster_Planet_Ocean_Dark_Grey_Watch_Insanity_02.jpg 1772w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not surprisingly, then, silicon nitride is used to produce high-strength automotive components, pipes, conduits, fittings and components for electrical signal transmission, and in various applications in the aerospace industry. Omega has decided to introduce it into watchmaking, and to do so it has chosen the\u00a0<strong>Seamaster<\/strong>collection, which has always been devoted to experimentation and was designed from its inception to be a line destined to push the frontiers of exploration. Both geographical ones and those of materials, as evidenced by watches such as the Aqua Terra Ultralight in titanium or the Planet Ocean Ultra Deep in O-Mega Steel. Now, after titanium and special steel, it is the turn of the ceramic of the Seamaster Planet Ocean Dark Grey\u2019s case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>MIX OF MATERIALS FOR OMEGA<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The watch owes its name precisely to the characteristic color of the ceramic, and presents all the characteristic features of the\u00a0<strong>Planet Ocean<\/strong>\u00a0line. The case has the important diameter of 45.5 mm, a thickness that feels good on the wrist (17.4 mm), and is water-resistant to 60 bar. Its tripartite structure, which characterizes the Seamaster collection, is complemented by the very short integrated lugs, which in combination with the strap aim to improve the wearability of the watch as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Omega_Seamaster_Planet_Ocean_Dark_Grey_Watch_Insanity_12.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Omega_Seamaster_Planet_Ocean_Dark_Grey_Watch_Insanity_12-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Dark Grey \" class=\"wp-image-21993\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Omega_Seamaster_Planet_Ocean_Dark_Grey_Watch_Insanity_12-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Omega_Seamaster_Planet_Ocean_Dark_Grey_Watch_Insanity_12-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Omega_Seamaster_Planet_Ocean_Dark_Grey_Watch_Insanity_12-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Omega_Seamaster_Planet_Ocean_Dark_Grey_Watch_Insanity_12-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Omega_Seamaster_Planet_Ocean_Dark_Grey_Watch_Insanity_12-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Omega_Seamaster_Planet_Ocean_Dark_Grey_Watch_Insanity_12.jpg 1772w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the structure of the case is the classic one, it does not mean, however, that Omega has devoted little attention to it. Quite the contrary, indeed. Its various parts are characterized by a\u00a0<strong>mixture of materials<\/strong>\u00a0whose use is always aimed at making the watch as light as possible. The silicon nitride case middle is matched by the case back and bezel insert in the same material, as well as a series of Grade 5 titanium elements: the unidirectional rotating bezel, the crown, and the helium release valve. The sapphire crystal on the case back and dial also combine lightness and strength. <strong>All this makes the new Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Dark Grey weigh just over an ounce, 107 grams, including the movement<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>AN ADVANCED GMT<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also contributing to the lightness is the\u00a0<strong>dial<\/strong>, made of grade 5 titanium as well. In addition to the gloomy color, what sets it apart is the delicate sandblasted finish that adds to the preciousness of its aesthetic. The hour markers are applied, generously sized as befits a professional dive watch; their outline is in an anthracite shade and the inner part is generously covered with luminescent material. The same material covers the tips and inner parts of the hour and minute hands, and the tips of the central seconds hands and GMT indicator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Omega_Seamaster_Planet_Ocean_Dark_Grey_Watch_Insanity_03.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Omega_Seamaster_Planet_Ocean_Dark_Grey_Watch_Insanity_03-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Dark Grey \" class=\"wp-image-21981\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Omega_Seamaster_Planet_Ocean_Dark_Grey_Watch_Insanity_03-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Omega_Seamaster_Planet_Ocean_Dark_Grey_Watch_Insanity_03-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Omega_Seamaster_Planet_Ocean_Dark_Grey_Watch_Insanity_03-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Omega_Seamaster_Planet_Ocean_Dark_Grey_Watch_Insanity_03-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Omega_Seamaster_Planet_Ocean_Dark_Grey_Watch_Insanity_03-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.watchinsanity.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Omega_Seamaster_Planet_Ocean_Dark_Grey_Watch_Insanity_03.jpg 1772w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This watch, in fact, also has a\u00a0<strong>GMT function<\/strong>, which is well indicated by the orange lettering applied below the logo at 12 o&#8217;clock and complemented by the 24-hour indication on the inner flange of the dial.

This self-winding movement echoes the dark gray of the entire watch in the bridges\u2019 and the main plate\u2019s colour, both in\u00a0<strong>ceramized grade 5 titanium<\/strong>. While it does not have obvious or classic decorations like the c\u00f4tes de Gen\u00e8ve, it has a subtle gren\u00e9 finish that echoes that of the titanium dial. It is not handmade but, as might be expected from a highly industrialized brand such as Omega, is achieved using laser ablation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\"><strong>TOP OF THE LINE<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Dark Grey is not a limited or numbered edition, but it has one feature worth noting: it is the most expensive watch in the Planet Ocean line among those not made of precious metals or decorated with precious stones. In fact, it costs\u00a0<strong>24,900 euros<\/strong>, a significant figure for a GMT diver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A figure justified by several reasons, one of them being precisely the silicon nitride ceramic. It is indeed a rather<strong>\u00a0expensive<\/strong>\u00a0material to produce, because it requires non-trivial industrial processes. Understandable, then, that its use could make the final price of the watch climb. Perhaps, however, it could also raise its\u00a0<strong>value over time<\/strong>: it would be the market&#8217;s just recognition of Omega&#8217;s commitment to pushing the limit of research in haute horology further and further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>By Davide Passoni<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Omega continues its search for cutting-edge materials to use in watchmaking and is launching a reference with a silicon nitride ceramic case in the Planet Ocean line.
