Model number oddities on Omega site...
In Response To: Omega Seamaster 2296.80 ()

: Does anyone know if there is any differences
: between Seamaster Chrono 2296.80 and
: Seamaster Chrono 2297.8??
: Many dealers have the 2296 but Omega´s site
: talks about 2297....

Well, the 4th digit of the model number indicates the bezel option. Yet both these appear to have the same gold bezel.

This is the second model number someone has noticed on their site that seems out of sequence with what we see elsewhere. The other is the 2992.80 titanium diver, which seems like it should be labeled a 2292.80 instead).

Don't know if these are newer variations or whoever updated the site is a making typos.
