    Default Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Liquidmetal Titanium (Grade 5)

    This relatively recent model is not readily seen in the stores because of its popularity with collectors. Its a huge timepiece at 45.5mm but its main draws is its Grade 5 titanium and Calibre 8600 movement that uses the coaxial escapement and silicium hairspring. It is quite pricey at over SGD 11K. Main part of the cost is probably the Grade 5 Titanium which is both rare and expensive to manufacture but it is the only grade of the metal that allows it to be polished.

    Detailed report on the watch will be out later.

    seems over priced. Ti is over kill. I'd take SS.

    Thanks Jeff, unfortunately its on loan from Omega for the photo shoot and they just came to collect it! For me, its a great timepiece and concept with all the new improvements in terms of movement development and materials. Unfortunately at 45.5mm its just too big for me. The correct size is 40mm or no larger than 42mm for this titanium case & bracelet.

    45.5mm is perfect for me! (I have an orange PO that size) But...before I'd get this one, I'd have to get the Grand Seiko "Snowflake" which is also titanium...
    Watches:
    Lüm-Tec - M7, M23, M42, 500M-1, M23 custom, V1 Custom, Super B2, M61, (M53, M54, 300M-1XL incoming)
    Non-LT: JS Watch Islandus Chrono; Seiko SPS003; R.Lighton San Remo; Tourneau Gotham Airtimer, Tourneau moonphase, Tourneau TNY 44mm Chrono, Oceanus 600, White G-Shock, Omega Orange P.O., Ebel Hexagon Regulateur

    Pens: too many to count, but I'll mention my faves: McLaren MRB-850, Camelot, Divine Proportion, Visconti Homo Sapiens (cool pen, dumb name)

    My PO is one of my favorite watches but this is getting close to twice as expensive which seems like an awful large premium over the standard PO just for titanium. Beautiful watch but that premium seems too steep.
