Comparing the Original and Modern Omega Replica Watches Seamaster Ploprof

I love a good, modern re-edition watch, but most of the time a lot of watch brands get it wrong — wrong case size, wrong movement, wrong hands, wrong printing, and so on. Sometimes it is just one of these things, but most of the time it is a nasty combination of all of them, which doesn’t — in my mind — make the watch a true re-edition.


When Cheap Omega Replica introduced its Ploprof 1200M back in 2009 during BaselWorld, I was actually happily surprised to see that the brand did such a good job at first sight. The resemblance with the original Omega Ploprof 600M was amazing. The new Omega Seamaster PloProf 1200M looked identical to the PloProf 600M version of almost 40 years earlier. We’ve written about the Omega PloProf watches several times on my blog, Fratellowatches, but have never taken the time, until now, to put the two models together and have a closer look.


For detailed history on the Omega Seamaster Ploprof 600 I would direct you to this article on the Omega Ploprof’s History, written by Jon Wallis. I will give the highlights of the Ploprof history to you in a nutshell, mainly based on what Omega has documented on this timepiece. According to official Omega Replica documentation, it took the company more than four years to develop a solution to create a watch that could handle the extreme pressure that a watch needs to withstand when diving at great depths. Even COMEX divers were involved in the testing of Ploprof prototypes during the Janus operation. At that time, around 1970, Omega was already experimenting with materials like titanium for watches. Fewer than 10 pieces were made out of titanium for testing purposes, but none of them ever made into production, since the price of such a watch in titanium would have been totally crazy.


In the end, Omega Replica Watches came up with the following solution: a monocoque case made of stainless steel with a locking bolt to secure the setting and winding crown. Of course, the watch needed to be waterproof, but at the same time had to take into account the extreme depths at which divers would be working in a pressurized chamber, where they breathe a mixture of oxygen and helium. The helium gas is able to enter the watch when it is under pressure, as you probably know if you are into diving watches. Instead of using a helium valve, like Rolex did with its Sea-Dweller watches, Cheap Replica Watches decided that it would be better to prevent helium from entering the watch in the first place. Omega also wanted to measure the maximum pressure the Ploprof 600M could handle, which resulted in a failure of the watch at 1,370 meters— at which the seconds hand stopped due to deformation of the crystal and case. The Omega Ploprof 600M was taken into production in 1970.


The photos in this article show you the differences between the watches in detail. The red pusher made of plastic has been replaced by a metal pusher, the side of the bezel has changed so there is more grip on the Replica Watches new one, the caseback is now screw-down and has a number of engravings on it, instead of just an industrial-looking machined finish. The dial of the new model is also quite different. Not only has the location of the date changed from 3 o’clock to 4:30, but it also has a glossy finish and “rich” hour markers.


On the other hand, the PloProf was definitely used by professional divers. With all due respect to Agnelli, that’s really the “cool factor” about this watch for me — even though it’s likely that the watch won’t get to see more water than the occasional hotel swimming pool if I’m wearing it. (It is the same with the Omega Replica Watches, really: I know it was on the moon and used by NASA, even though sitting in a 747 at 10,000 meters in the air is probably the closest mine will ever get to outer space. The Omega Seamaster PloProf – new or vintage – isn’t really for the faint-hearted, but in my opinion it is an awesome watch that could be used for daily wear. It is a watch that can take some serious abuse, goes with any kind of attire, and is a great conversation piece. You should be able to find one of the vintage PloProf models fairly easily, but keep in mind that some of them have had a restoration in the meantime and could have a service dial provided by Omega Replica. Make sure you get yourself informed about these details before you buy one. There is nothing much wrong with an all-restored model if you want it for daily use, but keep in mind that it does affect the value of such a timepiece. Depending on the condition, we’ve found Omega PloProf watches for sale between $6,000 USD and $10,000. Some of these are complete, with box and papers; others are the watch only.

Omega Planet Ocean Collection Replica Watches

Called Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Deep Black, the collection adds touches of color and gold to a one-piece 45.5-mm case of black zirconium oxide ceramic complemented with similarly black ceramic bezels and dials. Omega Replica Watches has devised a ceramic case for this collection that has been tested for water resistance to 600 meters, or about 2,000 feet, which the firm claims is the first ceramic watch case tested to reach such depths.

The Planet Ocean Deep Black models differ by accent color and one features its bezel, crowns, hands and indices forged from Cheap Replica Watches own 18k Sedna gold. All also boast a new GMT ring that has been fixed to the dial, while each model’s diving scale is built directly into the ceramic bezel using markers and numerals made with Liquidmetal or Ceragold, a proprietary Omega gold-ceramic alloy.

Omega injects red or blue vulcanized rubber directly into the bezels of two models to colorfully mark the 15-minute dive-time indication, as well as to match the hands and the 12, 6, and 9 indication colors on those models. Rubber-injected “He” marks the Helium valve on the red and blue models, while the symbol is in Liquidmetal on the black model.Two Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Deep Black models — the Black and the Sedna gold versions — feature ceramic cases and dials polished for a glossy effect. The blue- and red-accented versions feature cases and dials that are matte finished, which Omega says offers better visibility underwater. For the gold model, Omega uses its 18k Sedna gold to accent the hands and indices; the three other Omega Replica Deep Black dials feature hands and indices of 18k white gold. All are coated in white Super-LumiNova that emits green and blue colors.

You’ll recall that Omega announced the Master Chronometer certification last year, explaining that each Master Chronometer watch will be certified as having passed eight tests set by the Swiss Federal Institute of Metrology. The tests are said to replicate or exceed real-life wearing conditions highlighted by the enhanced resistance to magnetic fields. This standard, first offered with the new Omega Globemaster late last year, is meant to verify the watch’s precision and performance and is added to the COSC certification Omega Replica Watches already extends to these watches. Omega also adds a four-year warranty to this expanded certification.

A look at the caseback of these new Deep Black models reveals more than a clear view of that Caliber 8906, which features a silicon balance spring, Omega’s proprietary Co-Axial escapement and a 60-hour power reserve. Developing a new ceramic case for dive models necessitated new technology, specifically a patented ceramic Naiad Lock, to ensure a water-resistant caseback for a material rarely used to case dive watches. With the caseback thus locked tight, Omega added another aesthetic touch to the Cheap Omega Replica Seamaster Planet Ocean Deep Black design by orienting the caseback so that the engraved wording always sits perfectly in position, with “Deep Black” at the top of the caseback and “Planet Ocean” below.

Aeschlimann added in a statement that the new Deep Black collection “takes everything we’ve learned and developed over the years and combines these advancements into a truly striking collection of timepieces. It is a momentous occasion for Omega to be here in New York and to share these watches for the first time.”

Omega Seamaster Ploprof 1200M Co-Axial Master Chronometer Replica Watch

It was delightful amazement to discover that Omega will soon discharge a fresh out of the plastic new, new Seamaster Ploprof 1200M look for 2015.

It was 2007 that Omega discharged the last “new” Seamaster Ploprof 1200M in view of the faction most loved vintage jumper watch from 1970. For 2015, we get the intriguing and welcome redesign to the 2007 Seamaster Ploprof 1200M with the Omega Seamaster Replica Watches Ploprof 1200M Co-Axial Master Chronometer.I last went by the Omega Seamaster Ploprof 1200M watch with a hands-on audit here in 2012. While I was not generally a Ploprof fan (like a few people) I was receptive about the peculiar looking apparatus style jump watch. Subsequent to wearing the Ploprof 1200M for some time, I wound up truly enjoying it, and the new 2015 Omega Seamaster Ploprof 1200M Co-Axial Master Chronometer is apparently more attractive. In the event that you claim one of the active era Omega Replica Ploprof 1200M watch, would it be a good idea for you to get one of these new Co-Axial Chronometer variants? That is a decent question. From one viewpoint, they both look outwardly fundamentally the same as with the same size case and fundamentally the same as dials. All things considered, the 2015 Omega Seamaster Ploprof 1200M Co-Axial Master Chronometer has some extremely tempting updates – so proprietors of the present day models may have a troublesome choice.Let’s begin with the development. Omega chose to fit the Omega Replica Watches Ploprof 1200M Co-Axial Master Chronometer with the same gauge 8900 family development as found in the additionally new for 2015 Omega Globemaster Co-Axial Master Chronometer (hands-on here). This development is basically the same as the 8500 group of in-house made Omega developments that existed in the 2007 Seamaster Ploprof 1200M, however contains the counter attractive innovation of what was already known as “Expert Co-Axial.” It likewise utilizes Omega’s new affirmation plan, where developments are first sent to COSC for Chronometer confirmation, are cased at Cheap Omega Replica, and after that experience an extra and more stringent testing regimen. Precision for Co-Axial Master Chronometer watches is said to normal – 0, + 5 seconds for each day.

We should recap that point

The bore 8900 group of developments is pretty much the same as the bore 8500 family yet with the counter attractive parts which make it for all intents and purposes totally impervious to attractive fields. The 8900 developments are additionally in watches that get the new METAS confirmation from Omega. An intriguing special reward is that the 2015 Replica Watches has a sapphire precious stone caseback with a perspective to the development. Yes, this a watch that is water impervious to 1,200 meters and has a presentation back. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced that before – cool right?Inside the 2015 Omega Seamaster Ploprof 1200M Co-Axial Master Chronometer watch is the Omega in-house made gauge 8912 programmed development. This is the “no date” rendition of the 8900 and works at 3.5Hz with a force store of 60 hours. It is truly an extraordinary development for every one of those times you are worried about brutal attractive fields while plunging 1000 meters or more under watch. Are those not circumstances you every now and again get yourself in?While the 2007 Omega Replica Seamaster Ploprof 1200M models had steel cases and bezels with a sapphire gem embed, the Omega Seamaster Ploprof 1200M Co-Axial Master Chronometer watches have titanium cases and fired bezels. These subtle elements have for a gigantic effect in how these watches wear. The Omega Seamaster Ploprof 1200M has dependably been a colossal watch, and now in titanium, it wears a considerable measure lighter. It feels incredible on the wrist regardless of the substantial case measurements of 55mm wide and 48mm tall. Notwithstanding the case being in titanium, so is the lattice metal wrist trinket and deployant, which is phenomenal news. This is the main titanium network metal arm jewelery I am mindful of. Omega Replica Watches really incorporates an elastic strap with every Omega Seamaster Ploprof 1200M Co-Axial Master Chronometer furthermore the arm jewelery – which is truly decent, yet in the meantime, this is not a modest watch.The “no date” form of the Omega Seamaster Ploprof 1200M dial is somewhat better as it offers a more symmetrical look, yet else it will resemble the active Omega Seamaster Ploprof 1200M dial complete with the notorious looking orange moment hand. Its sheer usefulness and clarity is excellent to a few people. For 2015, Omega is putting forth four variants of the Cheap Omega Seamaster Replica, incorporating dark with a dark bezel, blue with a blue and 18k Sedna gold bezel, white with a blue bezel, and one with a dim artistic bezel.

The clay bezel looks awesome and offers cut markers.

The whole purpose of the odd Omega Seamaster Ploprof case outline is to have a pusher that, when discouraged, takes into account the pivoting jumper’s bezel to turn – the Helium escape valve has been set on the underside of this bezel lock pusher section. There is likewise that no-nonsense looking crown Replica Watches framework that opens up as you unscrew the expansive crown. It’s truly part of the character of the watch, regardless of the fact that you needn’t bother with a jump watch fabricated like a tank.Dive watch lovers energetic to make the most of Omega’s most recent and most prominent development tech will be excited to hear that the Omega Seamaster Ploprof 1200M is presently the beneficiary of some intriguing redesigns and Omega’s against attractive development innovation. The new hues offer more assortment, yet by the day’s end, even individuals with a cutting edge Omega Replica Watches with the 8500 development will be profoundly romanced by the new 2015 Omega Seamaster Ploprof 1200M Co-Axial Master Chronometer accumulation. While the dark on dark model is most likely my top decision, that white dial with blue bezel alternative is conversing with me. However, at these costs, you are going to need to get a great deal of mileage out of these watches.

Omega Seamaster Chronometer Replica Watches Hands-On

At Baselworld 2016

Omega at last conveys on their guarantee to redesign the famous Seamaster Planet Ocean accumulation with “Expert Chronometer”- evaluated, in-house-made developments. This is additionally the main real redesign to the Seamaster Planet Ocean accumulation since the introduction of the 9300 development based Seamaster Planet Ocean Chronograph watches in 2011. In this article, I run hands-on with the redesigned Replica Watches Seamaster Planet Ocean Master Chronometer Chronograph, which is especially similar to the active model, yet with an overhauled development and some general configuration upgrades and refinements.Omega isn’t precisely certain what it needs to call this watch, obviously. The two authority names are “Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 45.5mm Chronograph” and “Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Master Chronometer Chronograph.” Perhaps both are correct, or maybe there is another official name. In any occasion, the watches are truly decent, despite the fact that there won’t not be genuinely convincing purposes behind proprietors of the active era Cheap Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Chronograph watches to upgrade.Omega really didn’t discharge any absolutely new models at Baselworld 2016, but instead redesigns and expansions. That isn’t as such a terrible procedure, and it is a smart thought for them to enhance the worth recommendation of their current group of watches. In any case, nobody would contend that Omega needs SKUs or item families. During the current year, the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean accumulation is most eminently overhauled with a development that is presently an “Expert Chronometer.” This essentially implies the development experiences the broad METAS testing in-house at Omega, and that contrasted with the active 9300 development the new bore 9900 (9901 on the valuable metal case model) has the exceedingly antimagnetic properties which make Master Chronometer watches impervious to 15,000 gauss.The 9300 development family was at that point one of the best developments Omega Replica ever constructed (something that Omega even conceded a brief time after they discharged it). The 9900 ought to turn out to be, wonderful and noticeable through the substantial sapphire precious stone caseback on the watch. Once more, review that it isn’t normal to have presentation caseback windows on 600m water-safe jump style watches.

The Co-Axial escapement 9900 development works at 4Hz with 60 hours of force store and with a silicon parity wheel.

The programmed development offers the time with date and 12-hour chronograph. The privilege subdial has two hands which are utilized to number the chronograph minutes and hours. We completely expect the 9900 group of developments to be in the same class as the active 9300 development era, however stunningly better with the high bar set by the METAS accreditation for “Expert Chronometer” watches.At 45.5mm wide, the Cheap Omega Seamaster Replica Seamaster Planet Ocean Master Chronometer Chronograph watches couldn’t be depicted as little, yet they are more wearable than any other time in recent memory (in spite of being an entire 18.87mm thick) because of another drag connection framework which permits the strap or arm jewelery to go down all the more straightforwardly. In addition, the caseback itself is smaller (and has been revamped with another outline) which permits the watch to feel just as it wears littler than it really is. On the off chance that you wear vast, top-overwhelming watches like this cozily, then they are very comfortable, to be completely forthright. Omega makes that basic by including their astounding small scale alter framework to the arm ornaments. Also, the overhauled elastic straps (which are super cool) make for a cozy fit on the wrist.In expansion to beat up Liquidmetal fired bezels, there is another bezel style for the Replica Watches Seamaster Planet Ocean Master Chronometer Chronograph accumulation, which consolidates Liquidmetal clay with caoutchouc elastic, done here in orange. Omega really has some clay orange bezels, however picked elastic for its brighter shading contrasted with artistic. The elastic is shaped into the bezel and afterward cleaned. Truly, unless you touched it, you wouldn’t know it was elastic in the bezel. I asked Omega how it ages, and they guaranteed that amid testing (where it was misleadingly matured to reproduce around 10 years of wear) the shading and material looked fine and dandy. Another little upgrade to the turning jumper’s bezel outline is the expansion of moment markers for the whole ring.All the new Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Master Chronometer Chronograph models accompany new clay (or titanium) dials. Assigned with an unpretentious “ZrO2” mark under 12 o’clock, the dials are more pleasant looking than the active enamel dials of large portions of the past era models. You’ll likewise see new hour markers and even redesigned 6, 9, and 12 connected Arabic numeral hour marker textual style styles. Once more, these are all little upgrades, however taken together they are a more-than-welcome facelift to Omega’s top-rack plunging Cheap Omega accumulation, which has pretty much stayed unaltered for the last five years.Don’t overlook that Omega delivers the Seamaster Planet Ocean in an assortment of styles, with no less than four diverse Master Chronometer development alternatives, on the off chance that sizes extending from 39.5mm wide to 45.5mm wide with the chronograph. Pretty much as a note, I trust the biggest size of the three-hand Master Chronometer Planet Ocean is 43.5mm wide, which was already a size possessed solely by the Planet Ocean GMT.

The 2016 Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Master

Chronometer Chronograph 45.5mm watches incorporate steel-cased models with dark, blue, or dim earthenware dials coordinated to dark and orange, all dark, or blue bezels. The all the more top of the line models incorporate a two-tone steel and 18k Sedna (rose) gold form with a blue dial, and additionally an entire 18k Sedna gold model with a blue dial on a strap. These are some beautiful, though extensive and striking, sport Omega Replica which keep on being class pioneers in this classification that incorporates options, for example, the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Diver Chronograph, Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Bathyscaphe Chronograph, IWC Aquatimer Chronograph, and the Breitling SuperOcean Chronograph.
