Omega is not one for eccentricities. What it is highly known for is the bold mechanism and strength that defines its functional sports watches. But Ploprof is one of those rare examples where Omega brings its signature technical brilliance in a wild form. As unique as weird, the Omega Ploprof was released in 1971 with an odd-looking asymmetric case that carried a bold red button, an integrated crown, and a humungous height. It was a design that instantly held the gaze. But beyond the eccentricity, it was an excellent 600m water-resistant dive watch that could remain underwater for prolonged periods of time. Needless to say, the watch was hit!

The reference we have here is a 2009 update of the iconic Ploprof. Omega took the opportunity to refine a few things, which made this updated Ploprof even better than the original. Minor improvements, such as the font on the bezel and a more balanced use of colours through the matching orange button and orange hand on the dial, surely give the Ploprof an elevated look.

At Second Movement, the pre-owned division of Ethos Watches, we adhere to a rigorous verification process where expert watchmakers carefully inspect every watch to certify its authenticity, ensuring it is not counterfeit. We also go to the maximum extent possible to ensure that the timepiece is not a stolen property and that all duties are paid. However, in the absence of any central database, a 100% verification is unlikely for any pre-owned entity in India. Nevertheless, we can still provide a provenance guarantee for watches purchased from Ethos.
