This week an Omega refurbished Mark II appeared in OF's Private sales (https://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-speedmaster-mark-ii-145-014.136884/), with the Seamaster back like my replacement back. It looks like a very nice example for anyone interested, and at a considerably lower price than I paid for mine.

So with the feedback already received here, and this comparable example, it is time to accept that sometimes odd things happen. It really does not matter anyway, as I enjoy mine as much for its international pilot provenance as for its other attributes. Thanks to all for your contributions!
I’m glad nobody jumped on it, I love it!

Seamaster - De Ville: the De Ville line started as a subline of Seamaster, and dials were co-signed
Seamaster - Speedmaster: The Speedmaster was born as a child of the Seamaster, even if the dial was never co-signed. Omega decided to keep the logo
Interestingly, the tachymeter scale was called a "tacho-productometer"

Others, no real idea...
- The Railmaster is listed by Omega as part of the Seamaster line, maybe that is why. So when the trilogy was presented in 1957, it was a Seamaster Trilogy: 1 for deep-diving, 1 for rail-diving, and 1 for Moon-diving 😁
- The Seamaster - Geneve is really weird to me... I thought Geneve started earlier than Seamaster and that it was their flagship line before the Constellation was created
- Seamaster - Constellation: maybe they handle those vintages as part of the same category on their computer system? If correct, it would be more correct to write Seamaster/Constellation but software usually do not like '/' (it should, but it doesn't)


edit:
- Seamaster with no seamaster logo: found the answer in another video of the watchonista series: Seamaster was the first line, then comes the Constellation, then the Ladymatic. When Constellation arrived, they thought a logo was needed to differenciate the lines. But the Seamaster only got its logo in 1956-1957, after the 2 others
Morning....I just bought a omega de ville tool 104....
Are they good the de ville or not

A late follow up. I recently bought a totally original Speedmaster MkIII and on the back was Seamaster. I subsequently noticed other MkIII watches online with the same back, so it appears that that is the way they came from Omega.
