If you’re looking to buy pre-owned Omega Seamaster, the Omega Seamaster Ploprof 55mm in Titanium and 18K Rose Gold is a standout choice. This timepiece combines striking aesthetic appeal with purposeful design and delivers a commanding presence both above and below water. While the Seamaster Ploprof is a professional Omega dive watch, it outperforms typical dive watches by offering superior craftsmanship and functional design. The Seamaster Ploprof 1200M is not only a superb tool, but it’s also an irresistible treat.
A Deep Dive into the Ploprof's Origins
Since its introduction in the 1970s, Omega’s Seamaster Ploprof has become a signature dive watch model. Professional saturation divers were the original target of the Ploprof’s design, but it has become a favorite timepiece among collectors who love Omega watches. The updated 55mm case of this timepiece can endure depths of 1,200 meters and pressures of 120 bar due to its modern materials and technology, which make it superior to its original version.
The Case | Unmatched Durability and Luxe Design
The case is hard to miss. At 55mm, it is a huge watch. However, the titanium means that even this large timepiece feels incredibly light. Finished with 18K rose gold accents, the large case gives this timepiece an overall luxurious appearance and feel.
Titanium is one of the toughest materials when it comes to scratch resistance and corrosion. The 18K gold highlights elevate this timepiece to a refined status, from a diver’s tool to the level of luxury watches. Large as it is, the case fits like a dream on the wrist. The brushed and polished surfaces reflect light in the most premium way.
For those looking to maintain the premium quality of their Omega timepiece, it’s always best to visit an Omega authorized dealer for any purchases or servicing needs.
Highlights
- 55mm titanium and 18K Rose Gold case
- Water resistance to 1,200 meters underwater / 120 bar
- Omega’s Master Chronometer Caliber 8912 offering anti-magnetic resistance up to 15,000 gauss

The Dial | A Splash of Blue with Gilt Accents
The Seamaster Ploprof 1200M comes with a blue dial that creates a beautiful contrast with its silver or gold-toned case. The dial itself is a deep blue, reminiscent of the deep seas the watch will one day see. It’s accented by the gilt rose gold hands and hour markers. The rose gold markers provide a touch of elegance to an otherwise utilitarian instrument.
The dial is stark and minimalist, with easy-to-read lume on the indices and hands. The practical design of the dial meets functional standards, while the rose gold accents provide a refined touch to the otherwise robust watch. The absence of a date function enhances this watch’s straightforward utilitarian design.
Movement | Omega’s In-House Caliber 8912
The Seamaster Ploprof operates with the Omega Caliber 8912 automatic movement, which maintains accuracy in magnetic fields up to 15,000 gauss. Seen through the transparent sapphire caseback, the movement showcases Omega’s signature high-quality finishing and all typical beauty marks, including a finely finished rotor as well. The Seamaster Ploprof provides a 60-hour power reserve and removes the necessity for regular winding.
To keep your Omega in top condition, it’s important to know how often to service your Omega watch. And if you’re looking for professional Omega watch repair in Philadelphia, make sure you trust a watchmaker who is familiar with the complexities of the Caliber 8912 to ensure your timepiece keeps running as smoothly as possible.
On the Wrist | Large, Comfortable, and Ready for Anything
Despite the 55mm case size, the Omega Seamaster Ploprof 1200M is super comfortable on the wrist. The titanium bracelet features high-quality finishes, making the watch even more comfortable to wear. The screw-in crown is another crucial feature for maintaining water resistance, and the oversized bezel, which is easy to turn, allows divers to set the time accurately, even when wearing gloves.
In addition to the titanium bracelet, the watch is also equipped with a rubber strap, allowing you to choose the one that suits you best.

FAQs
1. What makes the Omega Ploprof unique?
We think that the Omega Ploprof is such a fascinating timepiece because it has two qualities rarely found in the same watch. On the one hand, the Ploprof is a tank watch designed for professional diving operations. On the other hand, this instrument is a beautiful timepiece with luxury materials that go beyond the pure functionality of a tool watch. It was one of the first watches ever made with professional saturation divers in mind.
2. Is the Seamaster Ploprof a luxury watch?
Yes, it is. While it is designed with diving professionals in mind, the use of premium materials such as titanium and 18K rose gold, along with its fine mechanical movement, makes it a luxury timepiece.
3. How can you tell if an Omega Seamaster is real?
The authenticity of Omega Seamasters can be confirmed through their precise movement operation and high-grade material construction. Only the highest quality metals and the exceptional finishing are found in real Omega watches. Counterfeit versions typically lack the precision finishing and certified movement quality found in genuine Omega watches.
4. Does a Seamaster hold value?
Seamasters tend to hold their value really well. Models that are rarer, such as special editions or the Ploprof, can also be rather expensive on the pre-owned market. Omega watches have a reputation for lasting quality, craftsmanship, and innovation.
