路Is it one of those that are for the Japanese market only? There are a number of different variations of Seamaster 120s, none of which have been documented in any great detail. They are not faked and I don't see any warning flags.

Edit: I am an idiot sometimes. I recall that I actually owned the box and LE papers for one of these a few years ago. From memory the box is a blue version of the red 1990s/2000s box that flakes horribly (and this one does too!). I will try to find a photo. I am sorry to say it is long gone.
The scuba tank box I referred to was seen on the similar looking (but very different) Omegamatic and other SM120m models I think.

路Hey @nclondon,
The reference number for this model is 2500.80
It was a 1997 limited edition of 3500 pieces.
I don't know if it was Japan only, but nearly every single one I've seen for sale has been from a Japanese seller, or with the card stamped from a Japanese dealer.
As @padders says, these Mayol Le's (of which there were a few, came with a different coloured version of the 90's Omega "red box" - I've seen blue, grey, and green - which I think might correspond to the LE dial colours.

Can you share pictures inside the case, the back of the case, and the side of the watch please?

Chris is right, do a search on the PIC code and you will see lots of pics of the Blue Dolphin Dial J Mayol SM120m, the case number is not used for normal (ie outside of the service dept) identification purposes on a modern Omega. On a piece after about 1990, the only people who use the case number are watchmakers ordering parts and eBay sellers who can take a back off but have no idea what the watch they have picked up in a yard sale really is!

Thank you.
The 168.1611 you quote is the case number, what Chris gave you is the PIC code, namely 2500.80 A case can be shared by many references hence Omega use a Product Identification Code to uniquely identify a retail item and describe the dial colour, bracelet type etc.

路Having a bit more of a google...
At least three editions of the 2500.80 Mayol LE
1997 - 3500 pieces
2001 - 4000 pieces
2002 - 5000 pieces
The biggest case size is 36mm as far as I can tell, but there are also smaller case sizes with different volume of LE.
It is tedious, but the information you seek is out there... just gotta dig.

But then there鈥檚 also a limited edition 700th anniversary of the Confederation Helvetica in Switzerland that was only available in Japan along with many other Japanese LEs that seem largely irrelevant to Japan or the Japanese people
