Lot Essay

The Swiss watch company Omega is considered to be one of the most well-known manufactures in the worldwide watch market. It was established in 1848 with a clear focus on horological innovation – due to this it became later on the leading watch company in precision records and sports event timing. Today Omega is also known for its broad choice of fine vintage timepieces.

The Seamaster 600 Professional model, also called the "PLOPROF" for "Plongeur Professional" or "professional diver," was launched in 1970. The Ploprof was developed by Omega in conjunction with Jacques Cousteau and Comex which is the French commercial diving company usually associated with Rolex. It took over 4 years to design and create this watch. The case is made out of one piece of steel.
With this particular watch the movement has been changed during an earlier service, there are no matching numbers therefore no extract from the archive can be ordered. This used to be a quite common practise with Omega in earlier times.
