This is one of the most extraordinary modern Omega watches we have ever handled, and without question one of the rarest Planet Oceans in existence.
Produced exclusively for Royalty and Specialist Protection Officers, this Seamaster Planet Ocean was never a commercial release, never catalogued, and never made available to the public. The project began in 2018, with final delivery taking place in 2021 after extensive internal approvals.
In total, only 51 watches were produced. These were issued solely to serving Close Protection Officers and armed uniformed officers guarding the Royal Palaces. No other models were produced as part of the project.
This particular example is engraved with its unique issue number and the original officer’s warrant number. For obvious and fully respected reasons, the original owner has requested anonymity. What can be said is that the provenance is absolute, verifiable, and without precedent on the open market.
To our knowledge, no departmental Omega of this nature has ever been publicly offered for sale before.

A Word on Condition
The watch has been worn, as intended, but remains in very good condition overall. Any signs of wear are entirely consistent with careful real-world use and do nothing to detract from the watch’s significance, integrity, or presence.
This is not a safe-queen by design. It is a tool watch with genuine operational history, and it wears that history with quiet confidence.
Provenance and Set Contents
This example is accompanied by an exceptionally comprehensive and irreplaceable collectors set, including:
Original Omega inner and outer boxes
Original Omega guarantee cards dated to 2021
Omega card wallet
Department-issued cufflinks
Department-issued tie
Original officer badge
Full project paperwork and background documentation
A selection of images relating to the watch and its service history (available to the next custodian upon request, not publicly displayed)
The depth of documentation and associated items elevates this watch far beyond the category of “limited edition” and firmly into institutional provenance.
Collector Insight
Modern Omega collecting has increasingly focused on non-commercial, purpose-built watches, particularly those with verified military or government ties. Pieces like this simply do not surface.
With institutional provenance, this Planet Ocean sits in a category of its own. It represents the very rare intersection of modern watchmaking, operational service, and documented history.
Opportunities to acquire watches of this nature do not repeat.
