Yes
The Ploprof evokes an instant emotion. Chunky and yet light and very easily wearable. The titanium combo of case, dial and bracelet is a complete package. To top it, Omega has added two extra bracelets of S and L sizes alongside the standard M size fitted...

Should be featured in a Bond like the Breitling from Thunderball. Maybe the detonator for a small atomic device...🤔
Had the same reaction when I tried on the very same Ploprof . . .
. . . five years ago. And I contemplated buying it on the spot - the only hold-up was a lingering uncertainty over the possibility of a Railmaster in the near future. Which, of course, came to pass the following year. If I could do it all over again, mayb...
If i
come across a ploprof with orange grey white, it would only be a problem if the owner go to ask to much bucks for it. I wil go to a 2500 dollars max as the ploprof is in a normal condition, papers,box. What is the average price anyway?
Titanium Ploprofs are $10K US$ . . .
. . . but if you find two at $2500 apiece, please let me know.
yes
I had no clue at all what a ploprof it’s value. But i can imagine that the holy Speedmaster Alaska project goes over a 20K.
Not too late
to take the plunge. I feel that Omega seems to produce the ploprofs in very small quantities and this might make them harder to get over time.
In theory, you're right - there's still an opportunity for a titanium Ploprof . . .
. . . but as it happens I'll be going for another Omega instead.
By far
the nicest Ploprof. The orange and the grey is matching well top. The white lume is terrific. 1200 meter depth. For most diving actions it is enough. But is there a watch for the bottom of the Mariana trench? 10 km depth is very deep, so divers could wear...
There are choices
Firstly the MSRP for Titanium on Titanium Ploprof is available on Omega website Titanium on titanium 227.90.55.21.99.002 (USD 14k). The price is much higher than the steel version though. Also the Titanium model has the antimagnetic METAS certified coaxia...
The limit for SCUBA with plain air is usually considered 130 feet. The world record with a custom gas mixture is a little over 1000 feet.
You would be okay with the Ploprof. ;-) With a hardsuit you can be sure the person on the other end of the tether is watching the clock. Saturation diving which is what the watch is intended for is another story but you would still be okay.
Scuba diving
1000 feet, how much meters is that? My Seamaster can go to 300 meters. The gas mixture is normally the air which is in the air filled into the bottles. The pressure can be dense under water. I saw on tv a submariner which exploded by the pressure. A train...
1000 feet is about 300 meters.
Atmospheric air is mostly nitrogen and recreational SCUBA tanks are just pressurized air. Below 100 feet nitrogen becomes a serious problem. Research nitrogen narcosis and and "the bends". For deep diving a controlled mixture of pure gases is used, primar...
The Ploprof is BY FAR my favorite from the Seamaster line. Just a BEAST 👹 of a watch. Already have a couple in SS which I have not worn in a while due to no accessibility from COVID-19 so maybe I should just pick up a Ti model...
I actually love this orange version and prefer it without the date as well. The transparent case back is a bonus as the SS model had a solid back 👍
