Continuing the global launch of the new Planet Ocean redesign, OMEGA has hosted a special celebration in Chongqing, China, with new OMEGA Ambassadors, Wei Daxun and Song Weilong welcomed as the evening’s guests of honour.
Other notable attendees included the Thai actor, Gulf Kanawut; Filipino singer-actor, Kyle Echarri; and Filipino actor, Enchong Dee. The event was held at the Yifang Art Museum, a venue blending modern geometric architecture with the charm of natural water elements – a perfect reflection of the Planet Ocean’s new silhouette, as well as its distinguished marine heritage. As the event began, golden sunlight was cast across the water features, bathing the celebration in OMEGA’s signature orange glow. Further illuminations lit the venue throughout the evening, creating a vivid sea-inspired atmosphere. This dynamic interplay not only echoed the colour theme of the new collection, but also paid tribute to OMEGA’s long-standing legacy of ocean exploration. At the centre of the celebration, a full display of Planet Ocean models allowed guests to admire the new creations up close while immersing themselves in OMEGA’s pioneering achievements in dive watch innovation. Speaking about the new collection, OMEGA President and CEO, Raynald Aeschlimann, says, “The Planet Ocean embodies OMEGA’s pioneering and innovative spirit. On its 20th anniversary, we have reimagined this iconic timepiece, showcasing our exceptional craftsmanship and innovative DNA. With the Planet Ocean, we’ve always felt there are no boundaries to what we can achieve.”
OMEGA Ambassador, Wei Daxun, said, “OMEGA is a watch brand I deeply admire. Becoming an OMEGA Ambassador is a great honour and has given me a deeper understanding of the brand’s profound maritime heritage and the stories behind its watches. The new Planet Ocean captivated me at first sight—not only for its extraordinary water-resistance but also for its design, which conveys courage, determination, and exploration. I truly love it.” OMEGA Ambassador, Song Weilong, added, “OMEGA is a world-renowned watchmaking brand whose relentless pursuit of excellence and precision greatly inspires me. Growing up by the sea with a passion for diving, I’ve always had a special admiration for OMEGA’s dive watches. The Planet Ocean really makes me appreciate the brand’s long history and remarkable achievements in diving. It’s an honour to share this moment with everyone.” Launched exactly 20 years after the debut of the first Planet Ocean, the latest 4th generation models deliver a complete transformation for the modern era. Balancing the heritage of the Seamaster with contemporary design, they also retain the signature orange colour that has defined the collection since 2005. Models are now available worldwide, offered in seven versions, including blue, black, or orange choices, paired with either rubber straps or stainless steel bracelets.
