OMEGA PLOPROF MK1 LNOS 166.077 ca. 1972 COLLECTOR SET LIKE NO OTHER *PICS*

The ICON circa 1972.

Generation ONE, Omega Seamaster 600 aka PLOPROF // MK1

JUST LOOK AT THE UNTOUCH AMAZINGLY PATINA'd TRITIUM MK1 DIAL, I would say very possibly the BEST UNTOUCH original MK1 PLOPROF dial in existence!

The museum does not have a set like this one:

LNOS GEN1 MK1 freshly FACTORY OMEGA BIENNE serviced REF 166.077 complete set with books, papers, leather red case and unbelievable era extras LIKE NO OTHER COLLECTOR SET!

ALL ORIGINAL WITH ERA PARTS yet FACTORY RESTORED TO BRAND NEW.

The very best of both worlds, the providence of the original wabi'd parts but in a factory spec'd fresh presentation!

All parts included from pre-factory service configuration.

Again, LOOK AT THE PATINA ON THAT MK1 DIAL 8-) captivating isn't it??

Reportedly approximately 500 remain of these ref 166.077 watches total world-wide, a tiny fraction; and I mean tiny are quasi-presentable MK1s!

Let's begin, in this incredible offering:

-LNOS factory restored to brand new, first Generation MK1 Seamaster 600 aka PLONGEUR PROFESSIONAL DIVE WATCH, unused since return from full documented factory service (waterproof Factory confirmed MINIMUM 600m (historically -1300m) more accurate than originally spec'd cal 1002, factory service cost was in excess of euro 1000)!

-NOS Omega stainless steel mesh bracelet, unused brand new

-Original COMEX Omega ERA ca. 1973 NOS rubber divers extension - NLA (no longer available) in deteriorating plastic wrapper (in quasi-sealed package) of the era. The COMEX rubber extension strap is still perfect, only the wrapper shows age.

-NOS Original Omega mesh extension with original Omega spring bar (in sealed package)

-All original parts (bezel, hands, button, springs, nuts, bolts, crystal, spring bars et al) returned from complete Omega Factory Bienne overhaul to brand new specs - FOR COLLECTORS THAT VALUE PROVIDENCE - those who do not can sell this as these go for a PREMIUM!

-NOS original Omega Seamaster 600 owners manual (NOT REPRINT, original authentic article) in the language that gave the watch the OFFICIAL name: PLO-NGEUR PROF-FESSIONAL (French)

-Original Omega era warranty book

-Original Omega Official red leather zipper dual padded case.

-Original Omega OFFICIAL 1973 full color catalogue (NOT REPRINT, original authentic article) featuring all watches from that year: PLOPROF, Marine Chronometer, Speedmaster, 125th Anniversay Chronograph et al.

-Original Omega OFFICIAL 1973 full color authorized dealer advertising/promotional sheets (NOT REPRINT, original authentic article) featuring PLOPROF ++

-Original NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Magazine full color 2 page OFFICIAL Omega PLOPROF advertisement from 1973 (NOT REPRINT, original authentic article) in English and uber RARE

-Original Omega era cushion

-Original Omega documentation of complete overhaul dated and signed, matching tags on watch et al

-Original Omega folder of documents, sheets, et al

NOTE: there are many "supposed" MK1 dials advertised that are actually MK2s with the 600 on the last line - don't be fooled - MK1 are the very first and most rare because of the Tritium and paint issues that resulted - an MK1 dial like the one on this example, is SUPREMELY RARE, if at all any other exists, do not take my word, GOOGLE PLOPROF MK1 and see for yourself :)

Because of this paint issue, only the very initial batch are MK1, all others as even clearly demonstrated in the Official Omega catalogue and dealer sheets included in this offering were MK2 and of course the later service dial (least sought after and market flooded) 600/2000 dial variant.

NOTE: the bezel on this example is PERFECTLY positioned and not riding HIGH, as MOST never sit right: as in flush to the case; but rather have a bit of "play" which is very common, but this one is as was intended, NO PLAY, just PERFEKT!!

NOTE: yes the dial PATINA'd in this manner NATURALLY, it has never been altered, nor anything applied for that PERFEKT CREAMY LOOK ;)
