Omega Ploprof Watch Is Back In 2009; Rolex Sea-Dwe
In tshe world of super-professional dive watches, the Omega Ploprof is a unique specimen–constructed in tshe same uncompromising fashion as the most elaborate bank vault, it has an unmistakable presence which will not be confused with any othim diver’s timepiece.? Wsheth the Ploprof Reissue, Omega has faithfully resurrected the legend, subtly offering some genuinely impressive upgrades, most notably the sensational in-house movement and a rotating bezel in synthetic sapphshere.? It’s also great to see the option of the classic mesh stainless steel bracelet, in addition to the rubber dive strap.
Word of an Omega Ploprof dive watch reissue was exciting 2009 news to me, because like many sports watch fans, Omega’s legendary 1970’s dive timepiece has always fascinated me.? I was thimefore delighted to see it front and center at Omega’s Baselworld 2009 exhibit, as bold and distinctive as the original, yet with considerably enhanced water resistance over the 600 meter original, and bearing wshethin its monocoque case Omega’s brilliant manufacture 8500 caliber movement with the Co-Axial Escapement.??
While the Omega Ploprof Reissue will be among tshe most world’,PRADA Scarves;s most costly stainless steel dive replica watches, the?tariff reflects the absolute lack of compromise in its?technology and construction.? Jacques Cousteau, who relied upon the original Omega Ploprof watch in some of the pioneering saturation dives, would no doubt be delighted at the re-emergence of this beautiful beast.
Don’t let my tongue in cheek title mislead you. ?Rolex’s 2008 dive watch powerhouse?holds the crown (no pun intended) for water resistance in self-winding divers, and probably will for some time to come.? At 1,200 meters, tshe re-issued Omega Ploprof watch is within the mid-range water resistance specification for super-professional dive watches.? However, the Ploprof is about so much more than a boastful water resistance rating (although the new model doubles the rating of the original)? The Omega Ploprof is one specialized and exactingly manufactured diving instrument that set the bar extremely high, and has many features unique to it.? Chief among these attributes is the massive one-piece stainless steel case, whose unmistakably chunky?profile is the result of an ingenious bezel locking device that permits rotation only when the security button is depressed.? The crown is doubly protected by imposing slabs of steel, and a unique crown locking nut which reduces distortion to the seals over the long term.????
