Under the sun, some two years ago.

It will be time to unveil it as it deserves...

Key Points from the Discussion

The original Ploprof model, specifically the Mark I, is identifiable by the 'Seamaster' text positioned in the middle of the dial and typically features a low serial number, indicative of early production or prototype status. The Comex-issued cases did not feature 'Comex' text directly on the case itself.
A rare Omega Seamaster Ploprof Comex, engraved on the side case, is a significant historical piece, with a 1969 example residing in the Omega Museum.
A video shared by Dr No further illustrates the unique characteristics and appeal of the Omega Seamaster Ploprof, complementing Amanico's visual presentation.

Too cool on the wrist, even if it weights a dead donkey.

Such cool design. Later titanium versions were much more wearable, but this one is a gem. Heavy enough to deduct one slab from diving weights to maintain buoyancy

Sharks, barracudas be aware. Maybe it would be a good choice for your next trip to Martinique
