Professional?

[luddite]

I have various watches ranging from hundreds of pounds to thousands and they have the word "professional" printed on the dial.
What does that mean?

[JasonM]

About a 20% addition to the list price usually.

I guess that depends on the watch - but it did mean suitable for a professional diver. Although Rolex have a whole Professional range, which I guess include owner or buying the skipper of a yacht.

[Alansmithee]

They sold poorly when they used to have amateur on the dial.

[paskinner]

It means.....nothing at all.

It means you passed the test. The test you didn’t know you were being tested upon...

Out of date overpriced diving gear.

[Operation Grandslam]

That they are suitable for Bodie and/or Doyle.

When it is used in connection with musical instruments it usually means less expensive and of lesser quality.

Well that certainly explains Omega's use of it on the basic Moonwatch.
