In 1970, before most common time-piece innovations enhanced by today’s technological advancements, Omega launched a watch, drawing inspiration from the need for something more diver-friendly. This was the Seamaster Professional ploprof 600.

With a look comprising the 9 O’clock placement of it’s screw in crown beneath a shielding buffer, this watch was too unique to be confused with another.
Forty-six years later (2016), Omega, with inspiration from its 1970 design took another step forward, leading the industry as far as seaworthy divers’ watches are concerned. Although the look of watches in the Omega Seamaster Ploprof 1200m collection are not very different from their predecessors, the materials with which they are built and system by which they function makes them a formidable upgrade.
