SUMMARY

The Ploprof, with its distinctive utilitarian aesthetic, has long been a poster child for Omega’s most hardcore dive watches. The original Ploprof, derived from Plongeur Professionnel, meaning "professional diver" in French, was designed in the 60s as the Seamaster 600 ref. 166.077. The modern iteration takes great inspiration from the original, displaying similar designs and wearing dimensions. The model presented here was originally introduced at Baselworld 2009 and featured updates from the original including the co-axial calibre 8500 inside, an increased water resistance rating of 1200m, an anodized metal bezel lock button, and a helium escape valve. These stainless steel models have since been discontinued but continue to remain a favourite among collectors.  

All watches offered for sale are searched and cleared against The Watch Register database and a certificate is available to the winning bidder upon request.
