路Wow - it actually says 'Delivered to the British Military'. I thought the extracts for these only showed they were delivered to the United Kingdom as the Military Seamasters were sent to Goldsmiths first (the UK importer for Omega) and were ordered from Goldsmiths by the Military.

路Interesting, but does the Onega archive actually have the information on the final destination?
There was no other information provided other than a covering letter (and a fancy wax sealed wallet!) - it is probably worth asking the question. Has anybody had any luck with this before?
Does anybody know how many of the military version were produced, I cannot seem to find this information anywhere. Can anybody give me a pointer?

路M MrMattHi All,
I have the opportunity to buy an Omega SM300 Military (see pictures), but am looking for a second opinion on how correct the watch actually is.
Apparently bought in the late 80s from a dealer, it has a modern Omega Service case and there are 2 sets of glasses and crowns with it which have been replaced, presumably during a service. Which I have been told has been carried out by Omega, but there is nothing proving so.
There is nothing I feel is obviously wrong with it (but could stand to be corrected) with the exception of the dial/hand configuration, in particular given the difference in patina.
The movement is within 2 years of the case, which dates to 1968/1970 respectively, however as I understand it, the baton hands were used in earlier models which this certainly isn't. So does anybody know if this config exists anywhere in the military versions, are these replacement hands or is the whole hand/dial set up wrong for the year?
Any help would be appreciated.
