Could I get a POC as well please?
I sent you the POC via DM. The program from what we have heard has been put on a pause.

this is a real watch offered to military pilots only. you have to be a winged aviator/pilot/navigator and show documents to get one. Im with a group that is in contact with Omega to buy around 50 of these with custom casebacks like you see above. Ours have US Navy wings, our names/CS and other meaningful engravings at the 12/3/6/9. the brochure from Omega has US Army and USAF wings--im sure other countries badges too. It also comes with the Ed White bracelet. ive got a digital brochure around here somewhere.... ive also got a custom IWC with Navy wings..

Any chance you could DM me the POC as well? Former Navy pilot!

I like it better than the Silver Snoopy cartoon character watch, to me, those are just silly.

I was referring to the one only available to military aviators.

Heading to work after a chunk of time off. At the end of this trip I’ll stop by a watch store to get the bracelet on and fitted.

Blue skies, y’all!

Still in limbo. Looks like the company wants to do Type Model Series with Squadron buys. Will be tough to get a watch without going through a squadron. Really tough, if they dont fly your plane any more.

I got this back from Omega today.
If anyone is planning on organizing a unit order and wouldn’t mine me jumping in let me know. As a retiree can’t hit the 25 minimum…

Retired Army USAPAT pilot (can provide all credentials)

Just found this thread. Figured I'd share. I received this a couple months ago. Haven't worn it yet though.

Would love to get on this. Do you know if we all have to be in the same unit for the order? I might be able to pool all 6 flying squadrons here for a big enough order.

Looks cool, but definitely not something Omega produced.
Their site says otherwise, this is the market version that was mentioned at the start😗:

I know this is a bot account, I just can't prove it yet.

Should stick to your usual "enjoy it" spam.

Good morning everyone and congratulations on the discussion....
It would be nice if the owners of this pilot model would also share a photo of the case back, perhaps obscuring the name and serial number.
Thank you

I haven't seen anyone else share a caseback yet. I'm not sure why. I have one but don’t want to be the first to share as I suspect most of the watches out there are from my batch.

Ultimately, I think there are about 30 of these in the wild, based on my conversations with Omega. That means there are at most 2–3 caseback designs out there outside of the test watches and the one-off produced for Johnny Kim (assumption).

It also appears that Omega has paused or cancelled this program, as there were some programmatic issues during the last order.

Thank you for your reply and congratulations on your watch.
I made this request because I am fascinated by engraved casebacks and I collect x33 military (when I find them).
In case you change your mind, I'll see it as I follow this discussion.
Thank you

I'm sorry that Omega has stopped producing these pilot watches.
