On the other hand, we are proud to know that one of our most famous products has inspired such a copy (imitation is the sincerest form of flattery).
This Omega reply was forwarded to me from a friend. She was thinking of getting a Ploprof reissue for her Husbands 50th.
Dear Madam,
Thank you very much for your message, which was transferred to our department. We appreciate that you would like to offer the brand new OMEGA SEAMASTER PLOPROF 1200M to your husband and we are certain that it would be a perfect choice.
However, as you certainly know, the original watch was launched as the OMEGA Seamaster 600, so-called ‘PloProf’, in the early 70’s and became an iconic watch both for professional and leisure-time divers. It was produced in a few different versions until 1976. You’ll find more details on the original watch in the attached catalogue page copies from OMEGAMANIA, an auction which was held by Antiquorum two years ago.
The new OMEGA SEAMASTER PLOPROF 1200M was created in the spirit of its original; however, we used 21st century technology and integrated our proprietary Co-Axial movement technology which is unique to OMEGA. The watch is water resistant to 1200m/4000ft and comes with an updated design. You’ll find more details on this watch in the press section of our website: www.omegawatches.com/baselworld2009/ploprof. Once this timepiece is available on the market, we will of course include it in the product section too.
Regarding the Ocean7 replica of our OMEGA Seamaster 600 ‘PloProf’, we can only confirm that this product exists on the American market, but that it has nothing to do with our company or any Swatch Group watch brand. Since the original watch was produced more than 25 years ago, its design is no longer protected. Accordingly, we are not in a position to take legal action against this company. On the other hand, we are proud to know that one of our most famous products has inspired such a copy (imitation is the sincerest form of flattery).
οι παραγωγοι ρολογιων διαβαζουν τα φορα και τα blogs If you spend a bit of time at different watch blogs, and especially at diver blogs, you will quickly learn that for a serious diver, this Ocean7 replica can never replace the original. The new OMEGA SEAMASTER PLOPROF 1200M plays in a completely different league and we are confident that your husband would highly value this authentic, unique timepiece which blends classic OMEGA design with state-of-the-industry technology.
Yours sincerely,
Claude Guelbert

O7 has done a great job of offering a diver with a feel for the original without pretending to be something they are not. Personally, they are both ugly watches but then to each their ownOmega is fully aware of the LM-7...and they seem to like it.
Omega acknowledges that the patents on the PloProf expired a long time ago and anyone can make a watch with a case shape that resembles the PloProf.
αληθειες [Great marketing by Omega. They know that the LM-7 will only bring attention to the PloProf, and many people that buy and love the LM-7 may just consider spending the extra $$$ for the PloProf in the future/color]
