The OMEGA Ploprof, short for "Plongeur Professionnel," is a legendary piece of horology that first made waves in the early 1970s. Designed for professional divers, its introduction in 1970 marked a bold evolution in dive watch technology. Featuring a robust 600-meter water resistance, distinctive "monobloc" case design, and ‘security-locked’ unidirectional rotating bezel, the Ploprof was engineered for extreme conditions and is the ultimate tool watch. Its unique style, characterized by a "shark" bracelet, 55mm (!) angular case, left handed crown and orange accents means anything but a typical Submariner style dive watch, but instead has a daredevil appeal amongst watch enthusiasts. This modern reference was released in 2009, it marries vintage aesthetics with modern advancements, embodying both technical sophistication and a rich maritime legacy.
This reference 224.30.55.21.04.001 features a unique and substantial case which measures 55mm, providing an assertive wrist presence. The dial itself is a crisp white, contrasting perfectly with the vibrant orange hour hand, the striking white and orange motif continues in the unidirectional bezel which is secured by the security pusher. As you'd expect from a diving watch, the bezel is fully luminous such that it can be read at the depths of the ocean, At the beating heart of the watch is a remarkable mechanical movement – the in house OMEGA Cal. 8500 which features a 60 hour power reserve and a quickset hour. Interestingly, there is a left handed crown on this piece. That’s because it’s designed for right handed divers who would use the security pusher to rotate the bezel for saturation dives. There is a helium escape valve on the right hand side of the case near 4 O’Clock, along with a remarkable1200m water resistance. The crown is a unique design that fully screws into the case to ensure water resistance. The case is affixed to the head of the watch is a supremely comfortable ‘shark’ mesh bracelet, fastened in place with a double pinch release deployant clasp. It has a micro adjustment for the perfect fit, along with the classic divers extension for this to fit over a wetsuit. There is of course a scratch resistant sapphire crystal glass and a date aperture between 4/5 O’Clock, showing its fit for daily use despite being designed for the bottom of the ocean!
As for the condition, it is excellent as per the photographs. There are some signs of wear commensurate with use with a pre-owned watch, but on the wrist it looks absolutely beautiful. This OMEGA Seamaster Ploprof has just routinely serviced and as such all function are working perfectly, it comes with a 12-month mechanical warranty for added peace of mind. I have checked the timekeeping over 24 hours, and it is excellent, the crown is responsive, while the bezel security pusher works as it should.
