My brother-in-law’s new Seamaster

He ordered this in July ’23, and it came in over the weekend.

Wow!

Wasn't this the special edition only issued to an armed forces unit?

For the sake of clarity, it wasn’t issued, but it was made available for purchase by current and former unit members in good standing… Custom engraving on the circumference of the case back was an option, although I’m not sure if was done at the factory.

… The photo of the case back really doesn’t do justice to the quality of the engraving of the Unit logo.

So cool! All the engravings are done by Omega. This watch is only available for special unit members or former members. Which unit is this?
