Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Worldtimer (Ref. 215.92.46.22.01.006): When the whole world lies on your wrist

Welcome to a world full of travel passion, technical sophistication, and watchmaking excellence – today it's about a watch that can do much more than just tell the time.
The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Worldtimer, reference 215.92.46.22.01.006, is not only a technical masterpiece but also a tribute to wanderlust.
A world clock for style-conscious adventurers – made of titanium, with laser engraving, a world map, and a movement that is currently among the most precise and reliable in the entire Swiss watch production.

What is a Worldtimer complication?

Imagine you are sitting on a plane from Frankfurt to New York, enjoying a classic tomato juice – and you don't have to pull out your phone to know what time it is in Tokyo. That's exactly what a Worldtimer complication does: it shows the time in multiple time zones simultaneously – usually at a glance.
In the center is a dial with the current local time. Around it rotates a 24-hour disc, and on the outer rehaut you will find the names of major world cities – each representing its own time zone. The Omega Worldtimer covers a total of 24 time zones, including a London time display highlighted in white for the Prime Meridian in Greenwich – the district was once the center of the British Navy. The historic Prime Meridian runs through the Royal Observatory, after which Greenwich Mean Time is named.
No adjusting, no calculating – just look and know whether it's daytime in Sydney or the stock market is closing in New York.

Titanium meets world map: High-tech on the dial

Now it gets exciting: The dial of this Seamaster is not only aesthetically appealing but a miniaturized world map – with a depth and detail that seems almost surreal.
The special feature? Grade 5 titanium – a particularly hard, light, and corrosion-resistant titanium alloy – is engraved with a laser to depict the continents. No paint application, no applied elements – everything is purely mechanically "burned in."
The result: A three-dimensional world view where the oceans shine in rich turquoise and the continents appear in matte gray – almost like a view from space.

The heart of the watch: Omega Co-Axial Master Chronometer Caliber 8938

Inside works the caliber 8938, certified as a Master Chronometer by METAS – which stands for highest precision, magnetic resistance (up to 15,000 Gauss!), and chronometer accuracy by Swiss standards.
But the real highlight is the Co-Axial escapement. Sounds technical? It is – but here comes the understandable version:

What makes the Co-Axial escapement so special?

The escapement is the component in the watch that sets the pace – somewhat like the metronome of your mechanical watch. Most watches rely on the classic Swiss lever escapement, which has been used since the 18th century. In this system, the parts slide against each other, causing friction, wear, and more frequent maintenance.
Omega chose a different path: The ingenious watchmaker George Daniels developed the Co-Axial escapement in the 1970s, which Omega adopted and perfected in the 1990s.

Advantages at a glance:

•    Less friction because the parts tend to "roll" rather than "slide"
•    Longer maintenance intervals due to reduced wear
•    More stable rate values because the system is less sensitive to environmental influences
Historically, this is the first new escapement in over 250 years to be put into series production – and Omega remains the only major manufacturer to use it in series.
