SAS Omega

Aug 08, 2007,19:16 PM
 

Recently I was talking to my dad about my Omega Seamaster, and he brought up an interesting story.  When he was in Vietnam his unit (Special Forces) did cross training with the British SAS.  My dad believes that they (SAS) were issued Omega Seamasters as there standard issue watch. 

He also remembers a friend of his who was in the SAS as swearing by them.

Does anyone here know if this is the case, and if so what watch was the standard issue of the SAS?

Thank you.

Hi Scott Actually the DEF STAND from the MoD ( Defense Standard from the Ministry of Defense ) from the 60s shows the Omega Seamaster 3oo ( sans the Omega name ) as the "SPEC" for the military diver watch. I have a copy of the spec but for some reason one... 

Thanks Bill
