Wow! I had never seen that.

No, it doesn't have it. The photo was probably taken of a prototype using the original case from 1998 (Seamaster Anniversary 1948 - 1998). The White Dial GMT came out in 2000, and I've never seen one with the 50 YEARS stamp. I'd be interested to know if there are actually any out there. I suspect, if Omega wants to know what dealer had one, they may be concerned about fakes getting into the system (but that's speculation on my part).
