An update of its iconic 1970 dive watch, the new Ploprof (short for plongeur professionnel, meaning 'professional diver' in French), doubles its water resistance to 1200m from 600m, but keeps many of the unique technical features from the original timepiece. Its bezel is bidirectional, and it's locked in place with a security pusher at 2 o'clock, which unusually places the screw-in crown at 9 o'clock (making it especially useful for lefties). At 4 o'clock, there's a helium escape valve; it has a 'sharkproof' bracelet, which is suitable for diving, and it comes with an additional rubber strap.

Omega created timepieces that are so precise that it has been the official timekeeper for the Olympics since 1932. Yet despite being the sportsman's most reliable watch, the brand continues to innovate and elevate its craft. One of the brand's most iconic innovations is the Master Chronometer. Twice as precise as any other certified chronometer, water resistant and anti-magnetic, watches employing this mechanism are dependable and durable irrespective of surrounding conditions.Utilizing this mechanism, the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Ultra Deep that debuted in 2022, is the world's first dive watch that has water resistance up to an amazing 6,000 meters. The Prestige, Chrono Chime and Co-Axial Master watches similarly uphold the brand's steadfast reputation while retaining aesthetic charm.The Material Difference motto, also followed by the brand, incorporates the industry's most essential materials but uplifts to ensure longevity and beauty in all its designs. As well as metals and alloys, Omega employs unrivaled expertise in the use of ceramics, allowing its watches to be twice as light as those made from stainless steel, be chemically inert, hypoallergenic and scratch-resistant.
