Here is the correct box. It is referred to as the moonscape or crater box with a slotted card to hold the watch in place. The boxes below are for an early 1980s GMT 16750 and 16800 Submariner which utilized the same box. As a footnote, some of these boxes contained a small opening on the upper box lid that held a passport holder. This box is for watches sold outside the USA.

Springers given a good answer as ever. There are others (as dealers had a room full of old boxes often, so they just grabbed closest one !), eg like the green atlas and bufkor (USA), or old stock late 70s cream/green.... but that box he showed had most prevalence up to 1994, I'd say ...
