Omega Seamaster Ploprof 1200M 2010 [Preowned]

Overview 

The Omega Seamaster Ploprof 1200M reference 224.30.55.21.01.001, introduced in 2009, is a striking modern revival of one of Omega’s most distinctive and professional-grade dive watches. Originally engineered in the 1970s for saturation divers in collaboration with COMEX, the “Ploprof” (Plongeur Professionnel) was a no-compromise tool. This contemporary version remains faithful to that original mission, while incorporating modern materials, improved comfort, and Omega’s in-house mechanical innovations.

The massive 55mm x 48mm stainless steel case is unmistakable in silhouette, built to withstand extreme pressure. Its crown is uniquely positioned and protected at the 9 o'clock position—an iconic reversal of traditional placement. The orange bezel-lock pusher at 2 o'clock ensures the sapphire-inlaid unidirectional bezel stays secure during a dive, while an integrated helium escape valve further reinforces its professional credentials.

The black dial is clear and functional, purpose-built for high contrast and visibility in murky depths. It features bold luminous markers, a distinctive orange minute hand, and a discreet date window at 4:30. Powering the watch is the Omega Co-Axial calibre 8500, an automatic movement with twin barrels offering a 60-hour power reserve. A rare sapphire caseback allows a glimpse of the movement—an impressive technical feat for a watch rated to 1,200 meters of water resistance.

Completing the watch is a stainless steel “shark mesh” bracelet, a direct and charming homage to the original 1970s Ploprof design. This rugged timepiece is not just a conversation piece; it is a technical marvel with historical depth. For serious dive watch enthusiasts, the Ploprof 1200M wears its uncompromising heritage proudly on the wrist, successfully bridging over four decades of unparalleled diving functionality.
