OMEGA Seamaster 600m "Ploprof"
The ever greater depths at which professional divers worked inspired OMEGA's engineers in 1970 to conceive a special watch to resist these crushing pressures.
The "Ploprof" was famously used by Commander Jacques-Yves Cousteau during a series of experiments in the waters off the coast of Marseille. These experiments were designed to test man's physical and psychological endurance when working at depths of 500m.
The Seamaster is carved from a single block of steel, equipped with an immensely strong tempered glass, and has a special twin-locking crown. At the time it was waterproof to 600 metres/2000 feet.
