A man by the name of Frederic Robert can be credited for the creation of the Ploprof, among a number of other link "Professional" models like the Omega Flightmaster and Seamaster 120 "Big Blue" chronograph. He joined Omega in 1967 as an advisor after successfully growing the company Aquastar, which he founded and owned. A "Marine Unit" was set up at Omega under his stewardship, and by 1968, the link framework for the Ploprof as we know link it today was established under Robert's unit.
