Omega Seamaster 600 Plo Prof Comex.
I knew this ad for years.
You can imagine the excitement to see this Plo Prof at the Omega Museum during my visit six months ago. Pay attention to the case side, just under the red button to use the bezel... Comex is engraved.

This is the kind of watch which make our hobby so enjoyable. Even if the watch is not mine.
Best,

Great advertisement and an interesting watch....
....though far too big for me. It always amuses me that the watch designers think of every aspect of usefulness that a professional diver would need for their work and safety and then add a date function. Presumably just in case a diver working at dangerous depths suddenly needs to check he hasn’t forgotten his wife’s birthday. Regards Kev.
Saturation divers spend days at depth.
Saturation diving involves living in an underwater compression chamber for up to 28 days. The idea is to keep divers on the job 24 hours a day, because they don't need to spend time returning to the surface and decompressing.
Thanks Bill, I didn’t know that.
As a non-diver though I prefer my dive watches without a date. In the unlikely event of my spending days in a compression chamber I shall take a calendar to stick on the wall. Regards Kev.
Now that is cool!
I wonder how many were produced for Comex as never seen another one out there apart from this one.
Cheers

This is very hard to verify and verify easy to create a comex version.
It seems that comex has been seen both on the caseback and on the case side as in your example.
Unless you have some chain of ownership pictures etc you really never know. There are no serial numbers on the case only movement numbers.
Not sure if Comex has a list of movement number serials to confirm what is what.

No but maybe the Omega Museum is able to tell if a Plo Prof was issued to the Comex, through its movement number? [nt]

I think the extract from the Omega Archives could show in a special case the delivery Marseille France - Maybe special mention Comex. [nt]

They say it for the Pakistani or Peruvian Air Force... That's why I think they can say the same for the Comex. I will have to investigate... [nt]

Yep, next time I meet them I will ask if they precise this destination. [nt]
