Säkert många av er som redan sett och läst om Omega och Comex samarbete under Janus II experimentet in the 70's men lätt värt att kolla på igen isf!
Vad kan man säga, Omega var lite före Rolex.. Som vanligt! :lol:
Måste älska Omegas reklamalogan: "It may not look pretty on the surface, but deep down it's beautiful." Så skön, även om jag personligen tycker den är beautiful på alla nivåer!

The aim of this experiment was to test the ability of divers to work during several hours at -250m, breathing special gas mixtures. The Comex divers were using Ploprofs during this project, for this purpose about 10 watches had been delivered to Comex by Omega with special case engravings.
The experiments took place in Corsica and was a great sucess, it was soon followed by other experiments where Rolex watches were involved.

Other professional divers have used the ploprof in these early days, for example here's a picture showing Albert Falco - a famous member of the Calypso crew who has worked many years with Jaqcues Yves Cousteau - wearing a ploprof over his wetsuit:
Vackert, vackert, vackert! Är det ngn som sett en Ploprof med "special case engravings" live?
