Collection
Mrsnak recounts a bountiful period of Omega acquisitions, highlighting the serendipitous addition of a 1967 Seamaster 600 with a Caliber 601 movement. This post not only showcases his growing collection but also emphasizes the role of community connections in discovering exceptional vintage pieces, particularly through the help of fellow collectors.
This message has been edited by mrsnak on 2010-07-02 08:12:57 The Omega Seamaster Ploprof 600, reference Seamaster600, is a specialized instrument within the Seamaster collection, designed for demanding underwater use. It is distinguished by its robust monobloc case construction and unique crown protection system, setting it apart from other Seamaster models as a purpose-built professional diver's watch. The design prioritizes functionality and durability for extreme conditions.
This specific reference features a substantial case, often constructed from materials chosen for their resilience in marine environments. The movement housed within is an automatic caliber, known for its reliability and precision, providing a practical power reserve suitable for its intended use. The crystal is designed for clarity and resistance to pressure, contributing to the watch's overall water resistance.
For collectors, the Seamaster Ploprof 600 holds interest due to its distinctive aesthetic and engineering. Variants, such as the unique 1971 example with an inverted case stamp and a bi-directional bezel, are particularly sought after. The use of specific materials, such as Uranus steel in some examples, further enhances its appeal to those interested in the technical evolution of professional dive watches.
Really nice Seamaster 600, looks almost as new What I really like is the nice 3-6-9-12 dial, wauw. Nice catch and congratulations I have a couple of cal 601 that running really well. Trustworthy calibre Cheers Hans

Pretty watch , looks like you had no choice.
I did read from one person (on the Internet, so it must be true LOL) that the 601was used in the 120, but nothing I've read otherwise substantiates this.
Depends how weak you are...
. . . taken last August from the thread titled "A special Sunday morning breakfast for Stefan Ma . . ." Stefan was able to locate the identical model with steel hands and markers . . . . . . so now you've got a near identical twin, mrsnak! Cordially, Art
