I've been contemplating getting one of these for a while.. I had a hard time tracking it down to say the least. I had been in contact with Tourneau for several months, finally it paid off. With all the talk of the Ploprof, I knew how much this even more elusive watch would mean to RWG. So I set about hunting it down. Layed down the cash, and now here it is.

Are you ready to have a look?

I present...

Omega Plofrrrf

Wow. What a piece! Something I would never expect to see in my watchbox. Isn't it magnificent? The dial and print was done truly well if Omega was going for the aged look. Bit of a fun fact: A lot of these left the Omega factory with the dials slightly askew, and it is being said amongst WIS that they will become true collectors pieces.

The time is easy to read, and it is nice having all the information I need just like that, with a glance at the wrist. GMT subhand at 9, and date window at 3.

Some people say you can always tell a gen by the color of the gold. Gen Rolex, Omega, etc. gold is special. A special ceramic polymer gold blend was created for the Plofrrrf in order to create a comfortable strap for demanding tool watch such as this. The advanced material is called Cerubber.

Great attention to detail again, the strap having some ridges along the outer edge to keep the watch in place during extreme adventure, while also being smooth enough to avoid discomfort.

People always complain about the poor replication of Omegas logo, aka happy feet. Here is proof that even Gens arent always perfect. Its these nuances thought, that add a touch of character to the watch.

The plofrrf bezel button is not like the Ploprof. This button now controls the date mechanism of the Caliber LY022 movement. By pressing the button, the watch displays the date, or that could be the dive time, or whatever your imagination wants it to be. This is innovative [censored].

The case and bezel are made of another advanced material, called cerplastic.

The rehaut is protected by the cerplastic bezel, but once the bezel is removed, you can see it is very nice. A work of true hand craftsmanship.

Plexi crystal. Good to see Omega going back to their roots for such a prestigious release of a classic dive piece.

The Caliber LY022 movement is a compact design capable of displaying the time in AM or PM, and the date. The watchmakers at Omega must reach a score of at least 32 jewels in bejeweled game demo during the manufacture of the movement in order for it to pass quality control. It keeps perfect time.
