Information post for those it may concern.
Just acquired a mk2 SBS and am currently giving it
"sea trials" on a beach in the Caribbean.
A few points of interest:
Lume is incredible! Even better than it used to be on previous SL dials
Perhaps they are using more/better/different SL but it's like a torch and easily as good as the wonderful Omega 2254's.
Date wheel is in English/French.
First of these I have seen, all previous have been Spanish.
Case back has added script. "CABOT WATCH COMPANY " and "SAPPHIRE"
NSN and pheon is still proper engraved but the added script and the
issue number, year and "WATERRESISTANT 30ATM" is now acid etched...
Cheaper, presumably.
Haven't had chance to spin the back off yet to confirm if they are still
supplied with movement covers, have read somewhere they had stopped.
White dots visible on crystal are from phone case...
