Review Of The Month Project, June 2014
Omega Planet Ocean GMT Goodplanet from Toro Bravo
I have only seen a few pics of this watch and i wasn't a big fan of it and from the pics it didn't look that good to me to be honest. Once again, as with most of the latest omega rep models, i was wrong. A great rep, fancy and kind of sport together! Let see a few details about it before we o to the pics.
The dial is well made one, logos, lettering, lume markers are all spot on, i really can't complain about anything here. The dial has a great shiny effect, i though i was the crystal reflecting but nop, its the dial. Same effect as the CrSMP. Lume effect is a decent one. Hands are pretty accurate too, slightly different from the gen ones and i am saying that after examining them with the loupe. Date window is ok too, but not the DW witch is off. The gen DW has thicker and more glossy font.
The bezel, well that was my first concern as from what i have seen so far it wasn't that great. It steel needs work but its pretty good. The engravement is good, the orange color though i kind of more vivid on the gen bezel. It's like the gen has more paint or the engravement is more filled. You can check yourself and you will understand what i am talking about. Besides that its ok, great shiny effect, numbers close the real thing and a dead center pearl! Clicking is perfect, no wobbling or anything like that.
Crown and HE valve are another plus for the rep. Crown needs 10 turns to screw down. Pretty good! HE valve doesn't screw/unscrew. Movement behavior is very good. It has a great power reserve, i only shook it while i was taking the shots and it was working for over 2 hours... Movement is an 2836-2 one. Setting the time/date/GMT is easy and pleasant. No struggling there.
The crystal, i have to say one more time that the new omega crystals are pretty awesome. Great AR!
Bracelet is perfect too. They must use the ones of the CrPO models or something of the same quality. Comfortable to wear and easy to adjust. Do you need to ask for anything else? I don't...
A visit to the back side now. Well as with the CrPOs this is the biggest tell. Movement with these watches as you know needs a lot of work. A pleasant surprise was the caseback. Great work there with the lettering as you will see at the macro shots. The anti-counterfeit logo though isn't that good.
Enough with the talking, lets go to the photos.
