Plo Prof

Any thoughts on the 1200 series of this watch?


Seems like the latest versions have lost the date function for reasons I don't understand.

I've always liked the look of the ploprof. It seems odd that on Omega's website they show the 1970 and 2016 version side by side. The date is glaringly missing, but I still think it is a nice looking watch.

Really enjoying the latest Ploprof. I for one was very happy to see the loss of the date window and equally happy with the addition of exhibition back. It clearly hasn't compromised the integrity of its ability to deal with pressure.

The blue and Sedna gold version remains my favourite of the '15 and '16 crop and deserves the standard bright orange hand - which is why I had mine replaced.

I like the look of the watch but have never gotten around to owning one.

I like it a lot and as a HUGE fan of dive watches I wouldn't mind owning one some day. I was shocked years back how well it fit me when it was tried on at an AD here.

I really like the Ploprof but I can't wear it on my right wrist. Don't think I can invert the dial like the destro 166.077, so I hope to get the original one day.

They have the black 224.30.55.21.01.001 with date between 20/25 in SS and the 227.90.55.21.01.001 black no date in Titanium.
