Friends,

As you all know I am a big fan of divers watches, so maybe not very surprising that the next watch I had a look at in the Vienna Omega Boutique was the: Seamaster PloProf 1200 M!

The version that was on display was the Seamaster PloProf 1200 M/4000 FT in Titanium.

I always had a “love/hate” relationship with the PolProf…

On one hand, I love the raw tool for which it was created!

But on the other hand every time I tried one on I find it a bit too big and a bit too heavy…

Especially on mesh bracelet.

Now the Titanium version is much lighter that the steel which removes one obstacle for me, the weigh.

The grey dial on the TI version is very consisting with the material and the white and orange details gives the watch both character and contrast, IMO.

BUT, the dial doesn’t really “pop” to my eyes if you understand what I mean…

Maybe that is OK with such a large watch, then the dial doesn’t need to scream “look at me”…

But personally I would have preferred the blue dial of the Gold/Titanium version, but in full TI, bezel, crown, case…

On the wrist I would prefer the rubber strap over the mesh bracelet.

It is big, it is bold, it got a given place in the history of diving watches….

And it is SUPER COOL!

Again, a big thank you to the Vienna Omega Boutique for letting me play with this one.

Best

Key Points from the Discussion

The titanium version of the PloProf is significantly lighter than its steel counterpart, making it more wearable for those who found the original too heavy.
The grey dial of the titanium PloProf is consistent with the material, offering character and contrast with its white and orange details, though some prefer the blue dial of other versions.
The stainless steel version of the PloProf is perceived as having a bolder presence compared to the titanium model.
Despite its large size, the PloProf is generally considered wearable, especially the lighter titanium variant.
The rubber strap is often preferred over the mesh bracelet for wrist comfort on the PloProf.

Impressive on your wrist... and I'm sure it isn't small as mine. A wetsuit is fully required to wear this one

Yes but this timepiece would be more wearable and... in its element ;-)
