: So I seen the 2200.50 Planet Ocean and the
: 2200.51 I know the 2200.51 has the colored
: numbers but what else is the difference? I
: wanted to pick up a 2200.50 also is this
: model older?
Both models are the larger 45.5mm size, and the only difference is the color of the numbers on the dial. The 2200.50 came out in the spring of 2005, while the 2200.51 was released at the Basel Watch Fair in April 2006. Omega released this new 2201.51 model in response to consumer demand for a black bezeled Planet Ocean with orange numbers. Prior to the release of this model, only the orange bezel model had orange numbers on the dial, so people were buying black bezels and changing them themselves.
As Joey said, though, both are current production models, so buy the one that you like best, not necessarily the one the one that has the newest color variation.
