During the mid 1980's Omega used the services of renowned case maker Charles Spillmann (C.R.S.) featured on this example.
In addition, a series of milky blue hesalite crystals have been observed in the serial range of 48.2 million and this example features this crystal as well. This phenomenon was studied by our friend @themasterofspeed and is knowledgeable about these also.
This watch is fitted with the rare 'President' style 1450/808 bracelet from the 1980's adding to the value of this example. The watch also comes with its box, papers (blank) and 861 caliber booklet.
