More than one 150th Anniversary Seamaster ???

When flying through Derek's faq I saw some time ago in his chart that there are supposed to be more than one 150th anniversary Seamaster, listed via their type numbers in the chart.

I looked around and found nowhere else a similar remark, but I adopted myself to this classification for the below posted "electric blue dial" Seamaster, since it looks so close to my 150th anniversary limited SM with silver dial.

Recently I found my "pics" again I got from another site and a scan of the electric blue SM's screwed Titanium back. The electric blue doesn't have the engraving on it's back saying 150th anniversary !.

When flying through the news in Derek's site I also found the term 150th anniversary "series".

Going back to Omega's main site I also found no evidence of this to be true. The spec. sheet on Omega's site list the electric blue unit as a regular Seamaster, just in full Titanium. I believe that this is probably the cause of the electric blue dial, it might look better to the also featured Titanium bezel, which is blue on the blue Titanium Chronograph. The fact that the electric blue looks so close to my silver dial 150th and to the the GMT was probably just the first indication that all Seamasters are supposed to change soon to this new dial style ?.

So is there really more than one 150th anniversay SM ????.

Thx for any clarification.

Regards,
Andreas
