Introduction to Thor Gjermund Eriksen
Thor Gjermund Eriksen is one of Norway's most recognised media executives, best known for his long tenure as Director-General of NRK, the country's public broadcaster. He led the organisation through a significant period of digital transformation, steering one of Scandinavia's largest public media institutions through shifting audience habits and technological change. Since departing NRK, Eriksen has moved into entrepreneurial circles, applying his experience in media strategy and leadership to new ventures. He remains a well-connected figure in Norwegian business and cultural life.
The Thor Gjermund Eriksen watch collection, as captured in our database, points to a preference for purpose-built sports watches with serious credentials rather than purely formal dress pieces. He has been photographed wearing what is clearly an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M in its 43.5mm steel configuration — a robust dive watch featuring a blue ceramic unidirectional rotating bezel, a matching blue dial with applied hour markers, and a steel bracelet. It is a watch built around the METAS-certified Co-Axial Master Chronometer movement, offering genuine water resistance to 600 metres. The Planet Ocean sits firmly in the professional tool-watch category, and seeing it on a boardroom wrist is a reminder that the line between utility and everyday wear has long since dissolved for this reference.
With only one confirmed sighting in our records so far, it is too early to draw broad conclusions about the full range of Eriksen's collection. What the single spotted piece does suggest, however, is a straightforward, no-frills approach to watches — choosing a well-regarded Swiss manufacturer in Omega and a model with genuine technical depth rather than one chosen primarily for brand visibility. The Planet Ocean is a collector-approved reference that rewards those who know what they are looking at without demanding attention from those who do not.

Inserted 04/05/2023
The Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M is one of the few Swiss dive watches capable of holding its own against the Rolex Submariner on both technical and aesthetic merit — water resistance to 600 metres, a ceramic bezel insert, and METAS-certified Master Chronometer movement set it firmly in professional territory. Thor Gjermund Eriksen, former Director-General of Norwegian public broadcaster NRK and a prominent media entrepreneur, was photographed wearing this steel-and-blue example, a quietly authoritative choice that mirrors his professional demeanour.
