·It looks like you have an extract, so that should answer any questions you have.

··ΩF InvestiGatorNice set could I have a pic of the inside of the box
Interesting that the paper work is dated to 1956 the same as mine but I am pretty sure the watches date to 1952 and sold in Canada as well
These were expensive items at the time and sometimes sat in inventory for years between the importer and retailer.
Both very nice examples.

·This is the picture inside of my box.
I found an advertisement from Omega about the “1956 Olympics,” which was held in Melbourne.
Additionally, in my “GUARANTEE OF ORIGIN” from OMEGA (dated July 12, 1956), which came with this watch (on page 8), there is a mention of the Olympic Games.
Finally, I found the phrase “OFFICIAL WATCH OF THE OLYMPIC GAMES” inside my box.
Although the exterior of the box appears the same, I believe both inner designs of the box could be correct (mine was on the lower part).

··ΩF InvestiGatorI just looked up the date that Melbourne was named host for the 1956 Olympics.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1956_Summer_Olympics
So having advertising as early as 1953 that mentions Helsinki and Melbourne together makes some sense.

Melbourne was selected as the host city over bids from Buenos Aires, Mexico City, Montreal, Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, and San Francisco at the 43rd IOC Session in Rome, Italy on 28 April 1949.

·Interesting I have a century with an identical script on the inside of the box I am pretty certain this set dates to the 1956 Olympics
Now thinking my box similar to yours probably dates to the previous 1952 Olympic games
