EP46: Twenty Years with the Planet Ocean

When it was introduced in 2005, many of us might not have realized at the time, but we were privy to a front-row seat of the launch of what would soon become a proper modern dive watch icon. Flash-forward twenty years, the boys are here to embark on their first big deep dive into two decades of the Planet Ocean, calling out subtle differences in Co-Axial movement tech, aesthetic and design changes, and what they hope the platform could become for 2025 and beyond. As always, you can reach the boys for questions and comments at [email protected].
