While one of the key trends of Basel 2017 is a move towards more wrist-friendly dive watches (see exhibits A and B), there’s no doubt that big and bold is still the name of the game. Omega’s latest PO, the “Big Blue”, delivers on both fronts, thanks to its whopping 45.5mm wide by 17.8mm high … ContinuedThe post HANDS-ON: The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean “Big Blue” lives up to its name appeared first on Time+Tide Watches.
