Spotlight on: the Omega Planet Ocean, as seen on stars.
Launched in 2005, the Omega Planet Ocean is a relatively new addition to the Omega family.
Created for professional and recreational divers, it sports a robust build,
highly legible features, and extraordinary waterproof capabilities.
That doesn't mean it's only for use under the sea, however.
Its aggressively sporty look, combined with novel materials,
in-house movements, and various evolutions, have made it the choice timepiece of the jet-set.
In the market for an Omega Planet Ocean? Take your cue from these famous men who wear it.
Omega ambassador George Clooney has his pick of the lot,
from the Omega Speedmaster, to the Seamaster Professional and Aqua Terra.
When it comes to the Omega Planet Ocean, he prefers to go bold.
His choice Planet Ocean is the orange aluminum bezel and strap model,
which offers excellent legibility even underwater.
It's a very sporty watch, but George has used it to add pizzazz to a red carpet look.
Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian of all time, was once the face of Omega Planet
Ocean. Michael is a long-time Seamaster fan and has been guest of honor at numerous Omega events.
He wears the Omega Planet Ocean Chronograph with a black ceramic bezel, which features a small
seconds sub-dial, as well as 60-minute and 12-hour counters, for intuitive reading of elapsed time.
Omega also created a limited edition Planet Ocean Michael Phelps model as a tribute to him.
Available in only 280 pieces (in reference to his 28 medals),
the watch features a polished blue ceramic bezel, which has orange rubber for the first 15 minutes.
The white ceramic dial also makes the blue-orange color scheme stand out.

Actor Josh Duhamel has once worked with Omega for their Planet Ocean documentary.
The 90-minute film, which Josh narrated,
was a joint project together with the environmental organization GoodPlanet.
Josh's watch is the model born out of the partnership - the
Omega Planet Ocean 600 Meter GoodPlanet.
The GMT timepiece features a blue bi-directional rotating bezel,
complete with a bright orange GMT scale. It also has a bright orange aluminum GMT hand,
that allows the wearer to keep track of time in two time zones.
Actor Henry Cavill gained international recognition for his role as Superman,
in DC Extended Universe films. He is also widely recognized as one
of Hollywood's best dressed men, with his classic tailored looks and dapper style.
On casual days, Henry sports the Omega Planet Ocean in black.
This bare bones model features a black aluminum bezel and dial, topped by luminous markers.
Classic and legible, this makes for a perfect daily wearer for active guys like Henry.
Singer-songwriter Keith Urban has a very laidback style that, like his music,
straddles country and rock n' roll.
While he looks polished in a full tux for awards ceremonies,
it's more common to see him in jeans, a tee, and boots.
He spruces up his casual style with a timepiece that's a little more dressed up.
His choice Omega Planet Ocean comes in 18k Sedna Gold, Omega's proprietary rose gold alloy.
This luxurious version is still a very capable diver chronograph,
with 600 meter depth rating, a helium escape valve, and chronograph subdials.
Sporty and stylish, the Omega Planet Ocean has
found its way to the wrists of well-heeled watch lovers.
