Nicolas 'amanico' shares a wrist shot of his Omega PloProf, a vintage diver currently undergoing repairs. His post invites readers to consider the enduring appeal of this iconic reference, even when faced with the practicalities of maintenance. This discussion highlights the unique challenges and collector insights surrounding the vintage Omega Seamaster 600 'PloProf'.
The Omega Seamaster Ploprof 600, reference Seamaster600, is a specialized instrument within the Seamaster collection, designed for demanding underwater use. It is distinguished by its robust monobloc case construction and unique crown protection system, setting it apart from other Seamaster models as a purpose-built professional diver's watch. The design prioritizes functionality and durability for extreme conditions.
This specific reference features a substantial case, often constructed from materials chosen for their resilience in marine environments. The movement housed within is an automatic caliber, known for its reliability and precision, providing a practical power reserve suitable for its intended use. The crystal is designed for clarity and resistance to pressure, contributing to the watch's overall water resistance.
For collectors, the Seamaster Ploprof 600 holds interest due to its distinctive aesthetic and engineering. Variants, such as the unique 1971 example with an inverted case stamp and a bi-directional bezel, are particularly sought after. The use of specific materials, such as Uranus steel in some examples, further enhances its appeal to those interested in the technical evolution of professional dive watches.
Would look fine next to my doxa!
It came to me naturally that instead of wristshot you could easily use wrist shout 😄😇👍
I'm guessing yours is in a good condition so whilst it may be easy to move on I'd say it would be very hard to ever replace. Marc
Have been looking both at vintage ones like yours and the modern version. My trouble is that I'm a right-wrister, and with that huge crown assembly sticking out the left side of the case, the watch is clearly made for left wrists. I wonder whether it can be worn comfortably on a right wrist. Any insights, as an owner?
. . . is your soldato disloyal? 🤔
. . . two chances already!? This is how Don Turo . . . . . . deals with traitors.
