Anyone own the PO 232.90.42.21.03.001 titanium?

I've always liked the look of this titanium Planet Ocean. Seems to be the perfect diameter at 42mm but a little thick. Love the jumping hour hand and the liquid metal bezel. Colors are perfect with just a touch of orange. Thinking of diving back into Omega (yes, pun intended) and curious to get some thoughts on this one from any previous or current owners if possible. Seems like these can be had at a good price pre-owned. Give me the good and bad.

Had it for a short time Mike, very nice model but pretty thick (about 15.7mm):

Thanks for posting Francisco. Beautiful watch. Did you let it go due to the thickness primarily?

Not really Mike, let it go because found a good deal for a black dial PO 39.5MM. Even though it was thick the lightweight offset it. I love titanium watches and have been considering this later version quite a few times:




Here some pictures of it at my local OB:







but haven’t pull the trigger …… yet

That looks really good. I think I prefer the bracelet version over that strap though. Of course the correct answer is always both!

Agree Mike! At the OB they did not had at the time the bracelet version on display so could not try it, but for sure would buy it with the bracelet and add other bands at a later time. Love the matte dial a lot.

This model is about $6k on the used market, not up to speed on the current used price for the 42mm version
