Have done some more research on these today. It’s interesting, I’ve only managed to find three other examples but all have exactly the same character traits
dial: XVI dial with applied markers but with distinctive two tone finish and printed omega script not applied logo like other XVI models but all with XVI dial markings

A really interesting piece, I can’t find any prior research on this specific model. If anyone can supply anymore info it would be great to see it
Thanks Tom
