Hi I got the information yesterday , the watch was delivered to Italy that means 1121 correspond to Italian market

 

Is it right to think that they were engraved in the factory?

 

Really the archive guy was too young to confirm that but , in the early 70´s they where trying those things for them is logic as the country code of Italy was at that moment 1121 and the watch was send to a Italian retailer all fits.

weel also they said Italian retailer and not the Distributor also said this can make a difference , during that time some retailers get direct access to Omega because previous contacts or agreements maybe was a way to know if the watches where coming back to another country, the grey market still exist today .

Wonder what countrycode 1011 was/is ?

I find it strange that they would put country codes on this particular reference and no other?



Mine should be from Spain then?
