It’s about the new passion for the Omega Skyfall watch, even as vintage Omega watches continue to inspire modern creations like the new Omega Ploprof, a recreation of a classic Seamaster watch.

It’s about tritium, white gold and seahorses.

The details that make Omega watches desired around the world

As a leading authority on fine watches, WatchTime knows exactly what collectors and admirers want to know about their favorite timepieces. In Omega Watches: From the Seamaster to the Omega PloProf to the Omega Skyfall, we deliver a full report on how Omega’s mission to create a watch for divers led to it becoming the official watch of James Bond.

Along the way, we find how the Omega PloProf, which debuted in 1970, impressed divers and collectors with its new monocoque case, milled from one complete piece of metal; its red security button on the side of the case, unlocking the diver’s bezel; and its square crown on the left-hand side, sealed by a fluted compression nut. It was this watch that solved the helium problem suffered by even the best dive watch available at the time.

Other vintage Omega watches made for divers include the Seamaster Automatic 120m, introduced in 1972, the first watch to have non-screwed buttons that could be used underwater without danger of water getting in the case, even at the maximum depth of 120 meters.

Then, of course, there was the three-hand version of the Seamaster that debuted on the wrist of Pierce Brosnan, as James Bond, in 1995’s Goldeneye. It was a marketing coup for Omega: James Bond even used the watch to escape death in the film. WatchTime reports that in 1996 alone, the company sold 10 times more Omega PloProfs than in 1995.
