This fact alone has made the Seamaster Professional line (as it 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 \u003cem\u003eexactly the same\u003c\/em\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOne of the latest additions of the Seamaster lineage, along with the Aqua Terra line, is the Planet Ocean. Introduced in 2005, these watches features a chunkier case design with a \u003cem\u003ebroad arrow\u003c\/em\u003e handset, a new bracelet design, a revised design language on the dial, and increased water resistance - no doubt to complete with the Rolex Sea-Dweller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis particular piece, a reference 2201.50.00, dates to circa 2008 and is from the first few years of the Planet Oceans inception. Featuring a 42mm twisted-lug case, a matte black dial with matching \u003cem\u003ebroad arrow\u003c\/em\u003e handset, a signed black rubber strap with a signed steel pin buckle, and the always controversial helium escape valve at 10:00, these early Planet Oceans are aging \u003cem\u003equite well \u003c\/em\u003eand really hit the sweet spot in design, proportions, and wearability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAlthough large at the time, the Planet Oceans little sibling has surpassed this Reference in diameter - making this piece surprisingly versatile for daily wear. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIf it was good enough for a \u003cem\u003ecertain' Mr. B'\u003c\/em\u003e on the silver screen back in 2005, then it's good enough for us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eIn fact, we love this one.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Omega","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40145471176791,"sku":"40960140","price":5950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0809\/1255\/products\/AS07335_40960140_OMEGA_SEAMASTERPLANETOCEAN_2901.50.91-6_b32381d9-9a9c-45ab-938b-f8ef7135b129.jpg?v=1679504192","url":"https:\/\/www.analogshift.com\/products\/omega-seamaster-planet-ocean-casino-royale-as07335","provider":"Analog:Shift","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
