Is Omega’s newest Seamaster teaser on its official Instagram web page going to be an built-in bracelet watch, resembling a Seamaster 120 Child Ploprof?
The “Child Ploprof” is a nickname given by collectors to a classic Omega Seamaster 120 mannequin as a result of its fingers (particularly the minute hand) are very comparable in fashion to the bigger, extra well-known Ploprof dive watches.
It was produced within the late Seventies, in an angular (not round) 39-40 mm chrome steel case, with an built-in bracelet, a caliber 1010 automated motion, and 120 meters of water-resistance.
The classic Seamaster 120 Child Ploprof (Ref. 166.0250) and (Ref. 166.0251) have an analogous look. The previous reference got here with a primary mesh bracelet, whereas the latter reference has an arguably extra enticing case design and a real built-in metallic bracelet.
Because of this, and based mostly on the teasers we’ve seen Omega posting, we’d wager that the brand new “Orange” themed marketing campaign Omega is operating, that’s already been confirmed to be a Seamaster, will likely be a contemporary model of the Seamaster 120 “Child Ploprof.”
Notably, the big minute hand on classic Seamaster 120 “Child Ploprof” references is mostly orange.
This concurrently provides Omega entry to the on-trend built-in bracelet market and takes benefit of an archival design, with out basically constructing one thing new, which is the corporate’s customary working process.
