    Hey guys,

    I'm new to the forum.
    Actually, I've been following it for some time, and finally decided to start posting.

    Done anyone know what these triangles mean, found on the outside back case of these 2 watches?

    1 is a 1965 geneve cal 601
    1 is a 1967 seamaster 600 cal 601

    I've attached a couple of pictures for reference.
    One of the triangles has I I Z engraved within it.

    I'm relatively new to vintage Omegas. I hope it's not a completely foolish question.

    Sincerely, Jay

    The marking is that of the Afghanistan Air Force.

    Pictured is the Afghani AF new all weather STOL fighter. Hard to tell if the pilot is wearing his Omega.

    Thanks guys. I was wondering if it was military marking.
    Never seen it before.

    I don't have them readily available, but I'll post some more pics when I get a chance to take some.
