Omega Seamaster “Ploprof” COMEX Watch Repair >

The Omega Seamaster “Ploprof” COMEX was inspired by COMEX’s early search for a dive watch that could survive unprecedented depths and the unique challenges of saturation diving. In the late 1960s, before their partnership with Rolex, COMEX collaborated with Omega to test and refine the Ploprof (“Plongeur Professionnel,” or “professional diver”), a purpose-built watch engineered to be virtually impermeable to helium and withstand pressures far beyond standard diving limits. Its monobloc case construction, distinctive crown-lock system, and massive bezel were all designed for maximum strength and security during prolonged high-pressure exposure. COMEX divers used these watches extensively during deep-sea experiments and record-setting dives, proving the Ploprof’s capabilities in real-world conditions. This collaboration not only cemented the Ploprof’s reputation as one of the most robust mechanical dive watches ever made but also set the stage for COMEX’s later, even more famous partnerships with Rolex.

We know that your COMEX watch is important to you and understand that the sentimental value more often than not outweighs the monetary value. Our expert watchmakers strive to make sure your watch can be worn for many years to come.

Rolex Sea-Dweller “Great White” COMEX Watch Repair >

The Rolex Sea-Dweller “Great White” COMEX was inspired by COMEX’s ongoing need for a watch capable of handling the extreme depths and extended high-pressure conditions encountered during saturation diving, but with even greater resilience than the Submariner line. Introduced in the late 1970s, the “Great White” nickname came from its all-white dial text—replacing the earlier red accents—while still prominently displaying the COMEX logo. It incorporated the helium escape valve technology perfected through earlier COMEX collaborations, offering a depth rating of 610 meters (2,000 feet) and a thicker case for added durability. The watch was designed not for style or commercial availability, but as a precision tool tested and proven in COMEX’s professional dive missions. Its blend of functional engineering, limited distribution, and direct association with legendary deep-sea exploration has made it one of the most coveted Sea-Dweller variants among collectors today.

Rolex Sea-Dweller “Triple Six” COMEX Watch Repair >

The Rolex Sea-Dweller “Triple Six” COMEX was inspired by COMEX’s push for deeper, longer, and more technically demanding saturation dives in the early 1980s, which required a major leap forward in dive watch engineering. Rolex responded with an all-new Sea-Dweller design featuring a sapphire crystal for greater strength, a larger helium escape valve for improved decompression safety, and a doubled depth rating of 1,220 meters (4,000 feet)—making it one of the most capable mechanical dive watches in the world at the time. The “Triple Six” nickname came from its 16660 reference number, and COMEX-issued versions bore the company’s logo on the dial along with individually numbered case backs for tracking. Built for pure function and issued only to professional COMEX divers, this model represented the culmination of Rolex’s tool-watch evolution, blending cutting-edge durability with the proven heritage of the COMEX partnership.

Rolex Submariner COMEX Watch Repair >

The Rolex Submariner COMEX was inspired directly by COMEX’s need for a highly reliable, water-resistant tool watch that could survive the extreme pressures of saturation diving. In the early 1970s, COMEX was pioneering deep-sea engineering projects and pushing human limits underwater, which exposed divers’ watches to prolonged high-pressure environments where helium gas could seep into cases and damage crystals during decompression. Rolex responded by adapting its existing Submariner Ref. 5513 with a helium escape valve—technology developed for the Sea-Dweller—and by adding reinforced cases and COMEX-branded dials for identification. This watch wasn’t about retail sales or aesthetics; it was purpose-built for working divers, designed to function flawlessly in hostile environments, and became a symbol of the partnership between Swiss watchmaking innovation and professional deep-sea exploration.

We know that your COMEX watch is important to you and understand that the sentimental value more often than not outweighs the monetary value. Our expert watchmakers strive to make sure your watch can be worn for many years to come.

Jane Murray ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I found Times Ticking on the internet. The last time I had a watch repaired locally it cost more than the watch did new. I got it back just like new 2 weeks later and 2,000 miles away. HIGHLY recommended. Times Ticking was prompt, inexpensive, and even phoned when they got my watch and told me in advance what it would cost to repair.

Keith Kerney ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Their service was grade A!!! They're quick and professional; they always kept me updated with status of my watches. Their work is flawless which they stand behind, to me most importantly. They speak to you as if you're an old friend asking for help; in which they're always happy to do. Times Ticking; a place where you can ask an old friend for help.

Matthew Emory ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I cannot speak to the local facilities or sales staff. I am an internet customer who took a chance and sent my prized Accutron watch across the country to folks I do not know and have never met. This was a big decision which took several weeks to discern. I am thrilled with my decision and am planning to send my Dad’s watch in for repair. The difference? This time there is no hesitation whatsoever.

Doug Hammer ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had several issues with my Bulova mechanical watch, including running too fast. They not only fixed it, but it is better than when I bought it new. Amazing! And the only place I recommend for service.

Kent Bolin ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Outstanding in every way. TT exceeded all of my expectations…and my old watch is working like new.

Nameless Ghoul ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I never believed in miracles until the day I got my watch back. I never thought I would see it working again, but they made it happen. I am extremely happy with the work they did, and I definitely appreciate all the research they did to make this small miracle happen.

Brian Rudnicki ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Very satisfied with my experience. My favorite watch is now back running and working perfectly. I was a little leary as we are in GA and they are not but they were very timely and easy to communicate with so it all worked out great.

Ellen Hymes ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I was thrilled that they were able to repair and clean up a watch that I had inherited from my mother. It looks great and works great. The service was fast. The person who called me about the watch was very friendly and seemed grateful for my business. I would highly recommend them to anyone and will use them again if the need arises. So refreshing to receive such good customer service these days!

Peter K ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I highly recommend Times Ticking for watch repair. Jesse & crew know their stuff and even take the time to talk with you. They communicate very friendly/professionally and most of all the prices are more than fair for such craftsmen skills! My opinion: They are like the American Restoration of watches.

HISTORY OF COMEX

The Legacy of COMEX: A History of Precision, Style and Innovation

COMEX (Compagnie Maritime d’Expertises), founded in 1961 by Henri Germain Delauze in Marseille, France, rose to prominence as a world leader in deep-sea engineering and saturation diving during the 1960s and 1970s. Their work included record-breaking dives and pioneering underwater techniques, demanding tools that could withstand extreme depths and prolonged high-pressure exposure. To meet this need, COMEX collaborated with top Swiss watchmakers, first working with Omega in the late 1960s, whose Seamaster 600 “Ploprof” was tested and used by COMEX divers. In the early 1970s, Rolex became their main supplier, producing specialized Submariner and Sea-Dweller models fitted with helium escape valves, reinforced cases, and COMEX-branded dials. Issued exclusively to COMEX divers and never sold to the public, these watches proved themselves in some of the harshest diving environments on Earth.

Today, they are celebrated not just for their rarity and professional pedigree but also for their direct connection to a golden era of underwater exploration and innovation.
