OMEGA, the prestigious Swiss watch company, during a scintillating soiree today reaffirmed its commitment in bringing forth exemplary timepieces for discerning watch aficionados. As an extension to this resolution OMEGA earlier this evening showcased its awe-inspiring range of Seamaster Planet Ocean watches at J W Marriott, Mumbai.
The Seamaster range of watches that had been on the wrist of many, right from the very early days of ocean exploration was given a new thrust in 2005 with the Planet Ocean range. The series was expressly created to pay homage to Omega's divers watch heritage, while also enhancing the designs with state-of-the-art technology and contemporary styling to create an entirely new collection of modern classic.
Announcing the launch of the Seamaster Planet Ocean, Jean-Claude Monachon, Vice-president and Head of Product Development, Omega said, ‘OMEGA has always dedicated itself to creating timepieces that integrate innovative technology with stunning design so as to enchant each new generation of watch admirers. The Planet Ocean range has, since 2005, upheld the aesthetic profile and state-of-the-art technology of the original Seamaster line and has been a testament to the brand's legacy.’
As part of its global commitment towards associating with the exploration of the oceans, Omega has commissioned environmental activist, photographer and filmmaker Yann Arthus-Bertrand to produce and direct a film about the Earth's oceans, serving both to remind people of these natural beauties that cover two-thirds of the planet's surface and to raise the awareness of what can be done to protect them.
In awe of the stunning timepieces Abhishek Bachchan, Actor and OMEGA’s Brand Ambassador who was present at the occasion said ‘Seamaster Planet Ocean range is very special to me because of its remarkable looks and style dovetailed with technology splendour. The watch series holds a very high quotient of brilliance which is definitely hard to match.’
