WOTW Time Machine: Rory McIlroy’s Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean from the 2015 WGC Cadillac

Published

We might have seen the last WGC Match Play ever as Sam Burns claimed victory. But back when the tournament was alive and well, Rory won the 2015 WGC Cadillac Match Play over Gary Woodland. He was presented the light blue and gold trophy while wearing an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M in rose gold.

Dial: Black
Size: 45.5mm

The Seamaster is one of two iconic watch lines that Omega created, along with the Speedmaster. Introduced in 1948, the Seamaster and took a lot of inspiration from the watches the British Navy used. The Planet Ocean line of Seamaster watches debuted in 2005 as the high end dive watch with 600 meters of water resistance. Rory’s Planet Ocean was released in 2012 and made until 2016 when it was updated with a new movement.

This Seamaster case is large at 45.5mm and is made from solid 18k red gold. Traditional red gold is corrosion resistant and bio-chemically inert, making it more useful for salt water use than you would think. The caseback is made from red gold and contains a large sapphire crystal window to view the movement. On the right side of the case is the screw-down crown and pushers to work the chronograph. On the left side of the case, at the 10 o’clock position, is a helium escape valve for protecting the watch during deep saturation dives. On top of the tall, 19.4mm, case is a red gold bezel that contains a black ceramic insert.

The bezel is a little special though as it has 18k red gold for the diving scale that is plated into the ceramic. This process is called Ceragold and if you are to run your finger over the bezel it is smooth and took Omega years to create. A Black dial is accented with red gold logos, hands and hour markers that are then filled with a luminescent material for easy reading in low light. The date window sits at 6 o’clock and the whole dial is covered with a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal.

Inside the Seamaster Planet Ocean is Omega’s Calibre 9301 self-winding movement. The 9301 utilizes Omega’s Co-Axial escapement for added durability and precision. The 18k red gold rotor can wind the movement in either direction and gives the movement around 60 hours of power reserve. A black alligator leather strap holds the watch on your wrist and comes together with a foldover clasp crafted from matching red gold. Omega watches are underrated and you can find a lot of models at a discount on the secondary market. The original retail price for this Planet Ocean was $34,700 but you can now get one for around $19,500.
