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 origina 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.
When purchasing a pre-owned Omega it is the responsibility of the buyer to take care to avoid buying a fake / counterfeit product. The best way to avoid a fake Omega is to buy from a certified pre-owned watch reseller like Chronext.co.uk (UK) or WatchBox (worldwide). Visitors wishing to purchase a NEW Omega watch are directed to our preferred authorised Omega UK dealer – Goldsmiths
