"Ploprof" applies to both the Seamaster 600 and the Seamaster 1000 watches. The Seamaster 600 is undoubtedly the most recognisable watch ever made by Omega.
Gianni Agnelli, the chairman of Ferrari and Fiat and one of the most prominent public figures in Italy had an allergy to the metals used in watch cases. This led him to wear his Seamaster 600 on the outside of his cuff and this idiosyncratic display enhanced the watches visibility and hugely boosted demand.
