Omega - Black or White? Bracelet or Rubber Strap?

Black or White? Bracelet or Rubber Strap?

Jul 23, 2010,12:23 PM

The Plongeur Professional or the Professional Diver is one of the most iconic divers' wristwatches ever made in 1970.
It was known as the Seamaster Professional 600 then.

2009, OMEGA has updated the Ploprof. The reborn model is equiped with a new movement, Co-Axial Cal 8500 and has higher water-resistance rating, and was named as the Ploprof 1200 (1200 m, 4000 ft, 120 bar).

Our OMEGA Moderator, Bill Sohne has done a detailed side by side comparison last year. Please click here to access his review.

And for 2010, OMEGA presented a white version of the Ploprof, with a new white dial variant and chrome-coated Arabic numerals bezel and comes with the option of either white rubber strap or a the mesh "Sharkproof" bracelet.

The question now is, which model do you prefer?

Black or White?
"Sharkproof" mesh bracelet or Rubber strap?

I'd like to see the mesh strap on the white face model though just to compare. Andy.

I think both have their place

I currently have the black dial version and switch between mesh, orange and black rubber - the white one strikes me as the perfect summer color combo and is also very unique HAGWE Rupert

When I first saw the white verison I simply dismissed it ...

Hi When I first saw the white dialed version , I simple dismissed it . But then I kept coming back to it. I now really like it but I would suggest it on a black strap or steel mesh. Good Hunting Bill Sohne

The white dial is OK but...

I prefer black! The white dial is OK and the watch is beautiful - but IMO the white rubber strap is a "mis-match" I think it would look much better on the SS mesh bracelet. best Erich

the Ploprof looses its EDGE... black on black for me...

Orange Rules bigtime

It's an awesome combo on washed jeans and ash tshirt. And with the orange strap people notice the watch and give comments on it.

Had the chance to try the new white last month.

Still liking the black on bracelet better. Perhaps Omega can come out with a Baby Ploprof in this same white/white configuration for the ladies? Ruckdee

White for me

I don't own either (the white is still not released in the US AFAIK), but have handled and photgraphed both in Omega boutiques. When I first saw the photos of the white I was dismayed, but after seeing it in person on mesh I like it better than the black....
