Omega

i've seen it before several years ago, but my mind doesnt retain things like it used too. i know it has been discussed somewhere in the past and i think it might have a military reference. if anyone can tell me i'd appreciate it. cheers Graham...  

... is a word in English that describes the watch as impervious to water ingress. TO be serious: these are Afghan Army marking. The letters stand for Afghan National Army

thanks Achim, funny thing to see on a gold plated Omega geneve, but its the original caseback. i knew i'd seen the mark before. cheers Graham

Ben, trust you to know the answer :) i knew i'd seen it before after some emails with Ziggy Wesolowski, collector, dealer, email aquaintance and author of 'military timepieces etc' a great reference book. as i've already typed to Achim, its odd to find it...
