    The Helson Sharkmaster was inspired by Omega Seamaster 1000m (ref 166.093). I have not had the opportunity yet to test at 1000m, but had it at 220ft and it worked great! Anyone have pictures of their 166.093 ?

    I used to use a Helson Tortuga for diving. Awesome divers for the money with a very cool vintage look to them. The PP 1000 is my second favorite Omega after the Big Blue. I wish Omega would remake them and do it as well as they did on the modern PloProf 1200m.

    You could always buy a WatchCo version.
