: That model was introduced in 1998 to celebrate
: the 50th anniversary of the *Seamaster*. The
: first OMEGA watches to bear the name
: Seamaster came out in 1948.
: But that is not a special or limited edition --
: it is just the regular version of that model
: as made for the past 6 years. It was
: introduced as a regular model with that
: inscription in 1998 and is still made
: exactly the same today.
: Two other variations on the Seamaster GMT were
: introduced a couple of years later. One with
: a white dial and brushed steel case, the
: other with a black dial and red gold case.
: Neither of those newer variation have the
: "50 years" inscription.
If you talk to Omega dealers some of them don't know about it, and even Omega U.S., claims that the 50 yr anniversary model is the skeleton model for the seamaster only. Which makes you think twice about these watches, especially with the replica quality getting so good.
