If extreme depth is an essential requirement then the watch that goes deeper than most is the Omega Ploprof. Ploprof is a term Omega adopted for their 1200m water resistant profesional divers watch. The watch’s name says it all – Ploprof – is an abbreviation of the French for professional diver – plongeur professionnel.
Omega began production of the original PloProf in 1970 – initially designed with a rating to 600m. However, the newer versions have a WR rating down to an impressive 1200m. These 1200m models began production in 2016. Featuring a titanium case with ceramic bezels and an automatic helium escape valve, it’s certainly ready for the deepest dives.
Expect to pay somewhere in the region of £5,000 to £7,000 for a pre-owned PloProf. The upper end of the market is for watches in excellent condition with full provenance. In other words, those with a full set of box & papers and preferably some service record. Entry level models to the PloProf market without any box or papers do sometimes sell for less than £5K, but make sure you are certain of provenance and authenticity. An alternative to the fairly big and bulky Ploprof is the BABY Ploprof (166.025) – these often sell for under £4K. With a water resistancy rating down to “just” 120m – it’s unlikely a buyer is going to dive in it – but it’s a nice alternative to it’s larger, more expensive siblings.
Omega is a brand that needs no introduction to luxury watch collectors. They have been producing the Seamaster range since 1957. These stunning timepieces have adourned the wrists of movie stars, celebrities, entrepeneurs, sports-stars and yes – even DIVERS.
