Omega Seamaster 600 aka "Ploprof". A little weekend action.
This is the USA version from August 1978. I got this on from the original owner many year ago.
Recently serviced and ready for diving.
Have a great week.
I just saw that
aWtchslvr also chose the name “beast” for this watch. So there must be something to it. 😎
Wow! 1978!?!?!?!
You wear it so well Bill! I need to hit the gym so I can increase the size of my wrist and wear these nice watches Bill can wear. That looks so good on you and the lime has aged perfectly. The lume on the hands are perfectly in sync with the lume on the dial.
I think the same
1978?
In the middle of the hard times the Swiss watch world was in.
The Ploprof survived everything.

Mostly sold to professional divers who need tool watch that would not be unusable after a few dive due to plexi.
Ahh! That's right! Those plexiglass would distort after a few dives!
Good to know! I didn't know that detail, but it makes sense. Flexibility is good in outer space, but not necessarily under the ocean.
Just spent a few weeks in service with my good friend and expert in the matter "t_solo_t". Truly the one guy who really knows how these watches are supposed to be configued.
As an expensive "at the time 3 x a rolex" Tool watch service was done fas as it was on the wrist of a working diver. So often parts and movements were swapped out for expedience over the life of the watch.
Goodness, they were really expensive back in the day...
Justifiably so, since that case was so complex. But definitely so much more secure and everything had to be big and grippy in case a diver was using gloves under water.
Just curious
Did you get omega to service it or did you take it to an independent shop? Asking because I see hands and dial were not swapped, thx!
