Good afternoon members of the OF, somebody knows what can mean the word " SURETE" on the dial of this vintage Omega T17. At 12 hours, the word is inverted.

Thank you in advance

Could be a retailer's name. Really don't know for sure.

What I do know is that I like that watch. 馃憤

La s没ret茅 was also the french police. Maybe a government issued watch, similar to those military watches?.

The name "Surete" has been found on watch dials. Mostly Movado movements, though.

Could be a connection to the French National Police. I really don't know.
