    It's very interesting to me how this model is designated by Omega as a "Military divers' watch," and not simply a "divers' watch," as is the Seamaster 300 model. Perhaps there exists a British military connection with Hong Kong? Who knows. I've always loved the fully applied logo + indices of this model over the 300 series.

    That is quite odd...usually there are Remarks about where it was delivered. Great watch!

    What do you mean? Is Hong Kong not specific enough?

    The Remarks section is blank...

    It would normally say "Delivered to the Hong Kong Navy" or something like that.

    Another member's Seamaster 300 remarks were similarly empty.

    Yes, most are...

    My point is that it says Type: Military Diver's, yet Remarks are blank...that is odd.

    My FAP 300 says Type: Military Diver's Watch and Remarks: Delivered to Air Force of Peru.

    This archives was eye-opening to me because it was the first time one of my pieces has come back with a "military" designation. That's super cool to me.

    WOW! I wonder how you were able to receive so much information in your extract. Also, I notice the font for yours is slightly different from mine.

    Thank you! Yes, it does! That's one of the reasons why I bought the watch.

    I would expect that the extract for the SM120 166.073 state that the watch has a blue dial.

    Not sure either, but the watch is entirely original.

    I’m not questioning yours, it but there seems there is inconsistency on these. I’m sure yours is not one of the questionable extracts

    I’ve seen remarks only

    Delivered to MOD but not labeled military nor remarked.

    And now labeled and remarked but not delivered to MOD.

    It seems that these old records were not complete.
