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?
