Olympic Omega Stopwatch *PIC*

Hey Guys,
I just wanted to know if anyone can fill me in on the details about this stopwatch. It has the emblems for the 1976 Montreal Summer Games and the 1976 Innsbruck winter olympics on the front. I picked it up at a Swap Meet in a job lot of old cameras for only $10 !!!!
I guess what I want to know is, was this very stopwatch used in the Olympics? Or was it a special edition to co-incide with the olympics?
And is it worth much? I'm planning to sell it on ebay where they seem to go for $200-$400.

Thanks in advance for any help!
Cheers
