The Seamaster Planet Ocean Deep Black Casamigos comes on a black rubber strap and can only be purchased from Omega boutiques in the US at a retail price of $11,600. It’s also lacquered with a white Casamigos Mezcal logo and the limited edition number X/80. On the back, the watch actually has a sapphire crystal – even though it appears to be a solid metal caseback – treated with a special coating to resemble the dark glass of the Casamigos Mezcal bottle. Seamaster Planet Ocean Deep Black Casamigos front The watch is powered by Master Chronometer caliber 8906 and has a second-time-zone function as well as serious diving capabilities with a 600-meter water resistance rating. The Seamaster Planet Ocean Deep Black Casamigos features Omega’s 45.5 mm Planet Ocean ceramic GMT case, with a distinctive matte black finish. We used the same philosophy for our OMEGA collaboration, we worked closely to design something that was true to us and that we want to wear.” When I designed the Casamigos Mezcal bottle the key was to create something unique that I want to have on my bar. Seamaster Planet Ocean Deep Black Casamigos close-upĪs far as collaborations go, subtle is usually better, and in this instance, the matte black design of the watch is akin to the Casamigos Mezcal bottle which is also a matte black, while the teal-colored accents on the dial echo the look of the Casamigos Tequila agave logos, both which were designed with special attention according to Gerber, “Design is very personal to me. With that said, Casamigos Tequila teamed up with Omega to launch an 80-piece numbered limited edition timepiece for customers exclusively in the United States. I will be wearing it mainly in casual settings so I don't at all mind that it is red, but do you think I will eventually get bored of it?įinally, I appreciate other recommendations at a similar price.If you’re wondering why Omega is partnering with a tequila company – like I was when I first saw this release yesterday – it has to do with the fact that friends of the brand George Clooney and Rande Gerber are two of the co-founders of Casamigos.Ĭlooney is one of Omega’s most well-known brand ambassadors, and according to Omega, “Rande has established his own connection through his wife Cindy Crawford, an OMEGA ambassador since 1995, and his children Kaia and Presley, who joined the brand in 2017.” If I decide on the Black Bay, I heard the red version is more bright red than maroon. Is the 100m difference in water resistance going to be a problem if I only dive up to 30m (and usually less than 20m)? This is a dive watch and I will be (surprise suprise) actually diving with it. Is the difference noticeable enough practicality wise? That is not as important to me since both watches are definitely going to last many years. I'm aware that the movement in the Omega is better/higher quality.
I have a few questions/concerns however which are preventing me from making a final choice: Right now, I'm leaning more towards the Black Bay since I really love how it looks (more than I like the Seamaster) and I would probably enjoy the fact that is less common than the Seamaster so in a lot of cases I would be the only person in the room wearing one.
Hey everyone! I'm planning on getting either the Tudor Black Bay (probably in Red) or the Omega SMP (in Blue) which I will be using as my everyday watch.
