The Omega Seamaster Professional PloProf 1200
We've told you before about the Omega Seamaster PloProf, designed in the 1960s with none other than Jacques Cousteau. The original was released in 1968, in very limited quantities, but a few years ago Omega decided to update this polarizing diver with the PloProf 1200. Here is a closer hands-on look at this beast of a diver.
Closed Crown Guard
Opened Crown Guard
In addition to the massive angular case, 55x48mm to be precise, the PloProf is best known for its idiosyncratic crown lock system. The large orange button is a "safety" of sorts, which you must push to be able to unscrew the crown at all. Once unscrewed, the top portion of the crown guard lifts off just enough for you to set the time and date.
A Closer Look At The PloProf 1200
With the PloProf 1200, Omega kept most of the design features that made the original PloProf so distinctive. In addition to the case and crown lock, you can see the mesh bracelet, large orange minutes hand, and chunky bezel were left intact. As you might guess, the new iteration is water resistant to 1200m.
The PloProf 1200 is available for $9,700 as configured here. Enjoy these hands-on photos and visit Omega's website for more info.
