br Jacques-Yves Cousteau, the most famous underwater explorer of modern times, also contributed to the making of an Omega. The French oceanographer, diver, inventor and filmmaker led hundreds of marine expeditions, paving the water for future explorers. br Together with oil research firm Comex, he helped design the Omega Seamaster PloProf short for Plongeuer Professionnel or Professional Diver in French.
