A unique and very collectible Omega model – Plongeur de Luxe from 1980, associated with the legendary freediver Jacques Mayol. This is the type of watch worn during his record-breaking dives, giving it a unique historical context.
The model has a completely different philosophy than classic, vintage Omegas – it has an integrated bracelet, a compact case and a quartz mechanism. It was created during a technological breakthrough, i.e. during the quartz crisis of the 1980s, which makes it an interesting testimony of its era.
The case is extremely thin – only approximately 8 mm – which is exceptional for a diving watch. The characteristic bezel with sharp, square teeth ensures a very good grip, and its condition in this example deserves special attention – it is in excellent condition, which is rare today.
This is a model for the conscious collector – non-obvious, with history and a clear identity.
The watch is sold with box and booklets (no card). Very good condition.
