Omega PLOPROF Review: The Wildest New Luxury Watch On The Market?

[@lbco5229]

Owner perspective: totally comfortable, totally unique, highly recommended. One of my favorites! Yes - you can operate the bezel one-handed.

[@felo6035]

Omega is my favorite brand. I own a Rolex Sub, a Breitling Superocean, and these Omegas: Seamaster Professional Chronograph, Speedmaster Professional Moon Watch, and a Railmaster. At some point I hope to be able to add the Ploprof or an Ultra Deep. These are completely impractical, but I just love them. In all honesty, if I could only collect one brand, it would absolutely be Omega.

[@kcwater2915]

To turn the bezel while wearing, you just press the button with your middle finger while turning the bezel with your thumb and index. I have a couple ploprofs and do it all the time. Thanks for making this review. Hope they come out with more colors.

[@udosteinhauser5661]

I'm impressed by your statement that you already own a couple of them. I will certainly get this one next year if my dealer AD can source one for me. Great watches.

[@paulburns6110]

Until this video I never really appreciated just how cool, special and desirable this watch could be. All its quirkiness has been actually purposefully inspired. I can’t think of anything else that is like it. Thanks.

[@anthonystevens8683]

A top review Oleg. I've been fascinated by the PloProf for a very long time. Each time I see a review the longing to get one at some point increases but so far it hasn't made me want to pull the trigger (sometimes life gets in the way) but it's getting closer. Like you if I see one in the wild on somebody else's wrist I would happily shake there hand and waffle on about watches for longer than I should. Many thanks for sharing,

[@markojirasek-fw9su]

I saw this watch and tried it on recently in Denmark. I was so pleasantly surprised by it.

[@mathieut3197]

God I love them! The most impractical and awkward Omega out there...

[@joesaave]

I have a ploprof……. Bezel is no problem to operate with one hand. Use the middle finger to depress the button and index and thumb to turn.

[@jjlad5037]

Great review. The Ploprof has always been high on my short-list. We're so lucky to live near an OB.... The Vancouver location is one of my favorite watch dealers in the city. I've purchased many Omegas from that location. Special shout-out to Jorge. He makes watch shopping so enjoyable.

[@briancolyer8483]

Fantastic watch, there's no middle road for it, you're either a pucker diver or omega collector....I'd love to try one on....I could pull off the dimensions....love it....🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⌚🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿⌚

[@richardthomlinson9137]

Thanks again, great review!

[@davidr2802]

the coaxial movement in this watch beats at 25,200 VPH

[@markplayford5836]

Always loved that one and actually got to try one on this week. Wears better than it should really. Would I buy one? Nah but only because I would rarely wear it, but respect to Omega for still making it.

[@andychang7137]

Already order it. Can’t wait

[@peterclarkson7101]

What brand the bracelet ?

[@allydea]

Hi Oleg, great review! As a big fan and owner of the 2016 gray Ti Ploprof, I'm super excited about the latest member in the Ploprof family. Btw, did you get a measurement of the weight? I haven't been able to find this information anywhere. 😞

[@allydea]

Omega website says 182g.

[@frankv7068]

I’m in a debate in choosing the Omega Ploprof white dial on mesh, or the Rolex Explorer II Polar, they both have white dial orange hands, they both came out in 1971 but Omega came out Feb 1971, I don’t know exact date on the Rolex one, but that’ll be the determining factor.

[@johnmonachelli5256]

Its crazy but its beautiful

[@denis888red]

'Weird and cool.' Yup. Sounds about right. I couldn't pull it off myself but more power to anyone who might and likes the idea ;)

[@PabloTBrave]

The original 1971 ploprof was the first watch to use 904l steel. Although it was called 'uranus steel', it wasnt proprietary and rolex didn't invent It 14 years later neither. I believe they are titanium now.

[@speedypaul2314]

Why has it got a HE valve. I thought the whole point of the case design was no helium could even enter the case. Also no hand winding?

[@allydea]

Of course it has hand winding. As for the He valve, well, it's not too obtrusive, is it? And one reason I heard is that a particular diving certification for saturation diving requires the watch to have such a valve, so maybe they did it to comply with those requirements.

[@speedypaul2314]

@@allydea @allydea no it's not obtrusive but that was the whole point of the case design and what made it very unique from any other deep diver from any other manufacturer. Your right maybe they had to comply even though it is not actually needed. Still seems a bit odd. Handwinding wasn't mentioned in the video when covering the crown and it's use, so a valid question. I think the watch is great regardless.

[@DzejWiJV]

Well there is some benefits from wearing this watch. In case of being attacked you can used as a weapon to defend yourself.

[@trogpo]

Every healthy minded man dreams of wearing such a watch, but only few have the manly wrist to make the dream true. Mine is only 6 and 3/4 inches, darn!

[@allydea]

Mine is similar and I've been wearing the larger titanium version for the last 6 years, as a daily wear no less. If you love it, get it and wear it with pride.

[@trogpo]

@@allydea Thanks, Allydea. To each his own...

[@Amplitudeproblem]

@@allydea Spot on - that *is* the healthy-minded way to go! Would love to have one.

[@josephrangelescamilla5620]

Dude I have this watch in previous edition and I have no problem pushing the lock and turning the bezel with one hand. Use your brain, sure you can do it too.

[@michaelkilbride2927]

It looks like the millennium falcon landed on your wrist

[@Amplitudeproblem]

...and that's a good thing!

[@alexsdg3441]

for $14,300 price tag, I guess it is not for everyone. Also I assume that since it is not for everyone, the ones who ARE really diving into 12,000 feet of ocean (highly unlikely, but you never know, ha ha) Again, this is a luxury pc who can cough up the money without a second thought and love to brag about to his/her (unlikely "her") friends. If you ask me, I can only afford Steeldive Ploprof. By the way, I don't even know how to swim, so 12,000 feet diving is highly unlikely. ha ha. Thanks for this interesting pc and have a wonderful day, Oleg. (war in Ukraine, will ever end?)

[@Emaratilfy]

If you're a diver, you buy a dive computer...

[@speedypaul2314]

@@Emaratilfy and wear an appropriate watch as backup to saving your life.

i like the watch, not the price though...thanx Biden

[@gothops154]

Idk how anyone wears this unironically

[@Gundal66]

A super expensive tool watch.. ridiculous

[@danijelfistrovic3992]

Ufff..the uglyest Omega on the market😮😮

[@allydea]

That's the modern railmaster by far.

[@DanteBisset]

That is one ugly watch. Do professional divers actually were this watch instead of a dive computer? My guess it's just the wannabe 😉

[@aubsta1]

They did in the 70s

[@allydea]

Sorry to say, but that sounds like an ignorant comment. I'm not gonna judge though, that's what I also thought when I first saw the Ploprof almost 10 years ago. For the past 6 years however, it's been my favorite watch by far. Hope I can land this new one too.

[@speedypaul2314]

It ain't no wannabe. Your either a deep water diver or your not. Either way the watch has a job to do and a very important one. I feel its probably a backup from the dive computer and still very, very necessary. It's like a yacht, yes you have sat nav to navigate a course onboard, but by law you must carry and know how to use a sextant... why? Because what do you do when the sat nav goes funky? You go old school without any techno wizardry It may very well easily save your life. Things go wrong. The watch most likely is never used alone but a seriously life saving backup in case things go wrong. I personally wouldn't dive without one.

[@allydea]

@@speedypaul2314 I was gonna say that at 16k euro, this is not going to be used as a backup to the diving comp. However, deep sea divers make a ton of money, so maybe someone with style would actually wear it at work.

[@DanteBisset]

@@allydea, you like the watch and I don't. That's called preference not ignorance. They also didn't have dive computers in the 70's so choices were limited. Since I am not a diver I have no need for such a watch. I do have a friend who is a commercial diver. He wears two computers, one as a back up. He said this is common practice. He did say his friend who is a weekend diver wears a computer and his Rolex.

[@MarsAlexandre]

I own the old reissue (black dial date with mesh , black and orange rubber) and I absolutely love that magnificent beast , hard to believe but is one of the most comfortable watches to wear .
