Movement OMEGA basis Lemania caliber 861 in copper. Only watch WITH ORIGINAL BRACELET FROM 1970S. Officially launched a watch that had been created to withstand the crushing pressures endured by. Working deep below the ocean’s surface. Professional 600, the so-called. From plongeur professionnel French for professional. In 1970, Omega co-operated with specialist dive engineering firm COMEX, the oil company Elf, and the French Centre National pour lExploitation des Océans, in testing a watch that could withstand the deadly forces encountered by divers working at depth. Three prototype Ploprofs accompanied divers on the undersea Janus II expedition, spending four hours a day diving at 255m. During this eight-day excursion, the men lived on the ocean floor in a dry, pressurised undersea habitat, not surfacing for over a week. Later the same year, the watch was successfully tested to nearly double that pressure, on the wrist of Jacques Cousteau, lHomme Poisson himself. The aim of these tests was ostensibly to secure contracts to supply dive watches to COMEX, however, the contract ended up being awarded to Rolex instead. Unlike the Sea-Dweller, the Ploprof has no helium escape valve. Indeed, it doesnt need one. Its unique construction does away with the necessity to vent pressurised gas from inside the case.
