I bought a titanium Omega Ploprof (227.90.55.21.01.001). Can you believe it?

I bought mine in 2010. I still wear it most days and I still love it. I do get stopped occasionally in airports or hotels by guys that know watches. Interestingly in 10 years I’ve never seen another one in the wild.

YOU are a very bad influence. I was at the Omega Museum in Biel today and wandering over to their Boutique..... The rest is history. I'm fortunate, or not, to have an 8.75" wrist and it fits great. Now the question is, do I still need my Sub?

The moment Talking Heads came on my first thought was "there is water...at the bottom of the ocean!" Evan, you are fast becoming my favorite watch reviewer. It's borderline criminal that you only have 13k subscribers...the quality of your videos is exceptional. Beautiful photography, sharp editing, great storytelling and humor, and a personal honesty that is straightforward but not offensive. Tim Mosso is the walking encyclopedia, Teddy Baldassare is the relatable everyman, and Wei Koh is the insufferable douche- but your videos bring a clever, creative, and fun spin to a topic that others take too seriously. Well done my dude!

Your videos keep getting better, and I always look forward to them. Just a few comments.... 1. Your wife is a keeper. Obviously I’ve never met her, but the only comment that I get from my wife is that she thinks my Panerai is hideous, or rolling her eyes when she tells me she signed for another package. 2. I love it that you can put anything on a Colareb strap and it looks great. 3. Anyone who can use “eschewing” in a watch video gets extra points.

@deepdiver0101 3 жыл бұрын

Exactly, same problem 'solving' that Seiko tried. Although, once you're in sat at pressure, if you don't equalize by unscrewing the crown before blowdown, you can absolutely forget about unscrewing the crown to change the time or date until decompression! At that pressure, a monkey wrench would damage the crown before it budged - and sometimes time changes are needed. HEVs are fairly handy in some cases. Crazy cool watch through, its so unique.

Great review. As a rule, I only watch reviews if the reviewer has actually himself purchased the watch. Living on the edge of Europe (Ireland!), you don’t ever see the PloProf in the shop windows of the few Omega retailers. Found myself strolling through Istanbul airport very early the other morning, waiting for my flight. Was pleasantly surprised to find the Omega Duty Free boutique open. The two staff members - a man and a woman - were very generous with their time, and very knowledgeable about Omegas. I was amazed to find that they had several Ploprof models on display. I tried them all on. And I fell in love. I have been thinking of treating myself to a Rolex Submariner or Deepsea for my 50th Birthday. But the ability to purchase the Ploprof at Duty Free prices has made it tantalisingly-affordable! So, I’ll be treating myself to a Ploprof (black bezel) in 2022. And it will be nice to have an excuse to return to Istanbul!

@dursunkaradag5566 3 жыл бұрын

The helium part in the video is incorrect. Later tests proved, that the original Monobloc-Ploprof from the 1970s was indeed helium-proof. Comex just went with the more normal looking Sea-dweller. And contrary to the explanation (taking time) in the video, one of the reasons for that choice was just the fact that Rolex finished it faster, while it took Omega 3 years to develop the Ploprof. The new Ploprof does the Titanium right, since that was originally meant to be the material for the watch-case. But it definitely loses on other ends. The purpose of the monobloc design is overwritten. The pusher was originally red, while the minutes hand orange for visibility. The new one just has both orange (so much for form follows function). The overall case shape and design with the pressure variable gaskets on the original was more functional, while the new one is vertically symmetrical and designed to be a big shiny luxury piece. It doesn't follow up on many of the innovations of the original Ploprof. It's not a bad watch, and definitely an interesting timepiece. But it fails to reach the coolness of the original Omega Seamaster 600 Ploprof.

Fairs, fair, no one should deny good information, research and knowledge, it's core to watching content like this - we are afterall all here to understand and learn.. Absolutely correct sir, in everything said! There is a strange fascination with this piece, as a function of depth, theres certainly lots of others more capable, indeed it has a number of very capable contenders that could, 'blow it out of the water' for specs, if you pardon the pun - watch brand Sinn should is more than worthy of recognition. Rolexes leviathon, the deep sea challenger has 10x the rating, but it won't be found sitting in your AD's shop window! This watch has strange credentials, it didn't fulfill it's commission, Rolex did pull the rug from beneath Omegas feet by modifying it's existing submariner by introducing the He escape valve, providing a thicker crystal and renaming it to sea dweller. And perhaps a story of interesting parallels is the Tudor P01,Blancpain being the aggressor this case- another failed commission from the French navy that didn't come to pass. All this aside, there's something that pulls people to this; it's aesthetic is its own (disregarding Seiko Ripley), it's unassuming, brash, with an uncompromising honesty for what it was intended for. Bizarre in every way, it doesn't even fit in with any of the other watches I own, but I will one day add this piece - it's just a must have for me !

Question please: Before wearing it for the first time, did you manually wind it up to get the fantastic timing rate of ~0.50spd? Mine runs about 0.57 spd (23 seconds fast over 41 days now), but I wound it up like 70 turns before wearing it on day 1. You? Also, for a brand new watch, yours looks scarred up (clasp area). Mine barely has any scratches.

omega was solving the right problem as a helium tight case is a better solution to get rid of damage by escaping helium. Rolex just made the cheap/improvised solution as they were not capable of designing a helium tight case. I think its sad that the better engineered solution used by the original Ploprof and some Seiko models(mm300, and the real tunas(600m and 1000m ones excluding the spring drive models) is not enough talked about while everyone acts like the helium escape valve was an innovative solution(the underlining principle is standard and easy and brings a lot of negative attributes to a watch) . every helium escape valve is a potential weakpoint(structuraly), an additional gasket which can fail and a few extra parts which a proper designed helium proof seal could render obsolete. Also the gasket for helium proof cases are superior to the polymere gaskets used on crystals. i think for Omega to drop there superior technology/design(the helium tight monoblock case) to switch to the easier inferior system there opponent (Rolex) used is not the right way to deal with the heritage of the Omega brand.
