OMEGA Unveils the New Planet Ocean Collection in Chongqing: A Night Defined by Precision, Heritage, and Modern Glamour

Omega continues its global celebration of watchmaking excellence with a spectacular unveiling of the redesigned Planet Ocean collection in Chongqing, China a night where maritime heritage met contemporary luxury in its most cinematic form.

Held at the striking Yifang Art Museum, the event marked a milestone moment for the Maison as it introduced its newest ambassadors, Wei Daxun and Song Weilong, both welcomed as guests of honor. Their presence reflects Omega’s ongoing commitment to engaging a new generation of global tastemakers while honoring one of its most defining collections.

The guest list read like a constellation of Asia’s brightest stars. Thailand’s rising actor Gulf Kanawut, Filipino singer-actor Kyle Echarri, and actor Enchong Dee joined the celebration, each drawn not only to the prestige of Omega but to the storied legacy embedded within Planet Ocean. The evening unfolded as a fusion of performance, design, and craftsmanship, where the world of luxury timepieces met the energy of modern entertainment.

A Venue That Echoed the Sea

The Yifang Art Museum proved to be a poetic backdrop. Its geometric modern architecture, paired with natural water elements, mirrored the silhouette and maritime spirit of the new Planet Ocean. Guests experienced an immersive world where design met nature serene yet dynamic, reflecting the fluid inspiration of the sea itself.

As the golden sun set, light danced across pools and fountains, washing the museum in Omega’s signature orange hue. Throughout the night, artistic lighting reinforced the collection’s oceanic narrative, paying tribute to Omega’s decades-long dedication to innovation in diving watches. At the heart of it all, a full showcase of the redesigned Planet Ocean models invited guests to admire each watch’s technical mastery and refined aesthetics.

A Tribute to 20 Years of Innovation

Raynald Aeschlimann, President and CEO of Omega, honored the evolution of the collection:

“Planet Ocean embodies Omega’s pioneering and innovative spirit. On its 20th anniversary, we reimagined this iconic timepiece with exceptional craftsmanship and our relentless drive for innovation. With Planet Ocean, we believe there are no limits to what can be achieved.”

His words echoed the Maison’s legacy while reaffirming the collection’s relevance for today’s generation.

For ambassadors Wei Daxun and Song Weilong, the moment held personal meaning.
Wei reflected:

“Omega is a prestigious House I’ve long admired. Becoming an ambassador deepens my appreciation for its maritime heritage. The new Planet Ocean captivated me immediately — not only for its durability, but for a design that embodies courage and exploration.”

Song added:

“Growing up in a coastal city, I’ve always admired Omega’s diving watches. Planet Ocean made me value the brand’s history even more. Celebrating this moment together is an honor.”

A New Era of Planet Ocean

Twenty years after the debut of the first Planet Ocean, the fourth generation arrives refined, modern, and unmistakably iconic. The collection maintains its signature Omega orange, now interpreted through a contemporary lens with advanced functionality for the modern watch enthusiast.

Available in seven variations, the new lineup includes blue, black, and orange colorways with rubber straps or stainless-steel bracelets. The redesigned Planet Ocean stands as a testament to Omega’s mastery of balancing tradition with innovation, a timepiece that celebrates the allure of the ocean while inspiring new frontiers of exploration and elegance.
