In 1975, he walked into Leslie Davis of Kent, England – his local supplier of fine timepieces – to replace his Seiko. In the case in front of him, there was a watch that was twice the price of anything Rolex offered and looked drastically different than any watch he’d seen before. It was marked “For professional divers only.”
Stevens had found the perfect match for his deep-diving career. He walked out with an Omega Seamaster 600, known as the Ploprof.”The case design with all its features, royal sizing (indispensable for its purpose) and the overall quirky aesthetics all add up to an undeniably interesting watch.
