The new version features a map of that part of the ocean floor plus a hidden message commemorating the achievement: UV light on the dial reveals a circled area with the handwritten words “Omega was here”.
Between the two extremes is the entertainingly named Ploprof (from plongeur professionnel, French for “professional diver”). The go-to aaa quality replica Omega for French oceanographer Jacques Cousteau and the underwater research company Comex for its deep-sea experiments, the modern version reflects the original’s asymmetric Seventies looks.

It was found in Venice, inspired by sculpted representations of Neptune’s seahorses on the city’s gondolas. For the 2023 Omega Seamasters replica for sale this emblem has been remodelled as a trident-bearing Poseidon with two seahorses — a fitting motif for these deities of the sea.
