Hard to find info
I’ve been trying hard to find information about all the models in the Seamaster range since the inception.
Last night I watched some videos on Omega SM’s history oj youtube (by Monochrome) but lots of history were left out, for example, they went from the Proplof straight to the Pierce Brosnan era models, skipping the Seamaster 200 range (those with the nautilus like bracelets shown below). I believe there are much more obscure models lost in time.

. . . the tungsten -clad Seamasters of the late '60s. Those models, commonly referred to as the Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader, were produced in small quantities. I've seen AS types in the metal, and would acquire a DV under the right circumstances. [ph...

Knowing our old mutual Purist friend and how knowledgeable he is I think there is a chance it might exist but the dates and timeline don't match...

Wow, that is amazing
I’m waiting for some brave soul to write about these obscure Omega models. Will make a great read!
Now there's an obscurity . . .
. . . I'd forgotten about. I recall running across that one somewhere online in the distant past, most likely on that very dedicated website. If that's the one Salman's identified, then yes, it's possible a prototype escaped and has been captured 'in the ...
