16800 logo

Maybe not considered vintage, but here are some shots of my latest. It has been some time before I got it, but now I finally have everything complete.

The watch is a 16800 with Oman police logo on the matte dial(8 mil serial).  The watch came with Oman box, hangtags and an Oman commemorative shield from the Royal Oman police. The watch is in mint condition with the case back sticker still on.

I have been following a number of posts here and else where recently regarding Middle Eastern presentation watches and they have really peaked my interest. Your Oman Police 16800 is a real stand out. The presentation box and accessories make it a package ... 

I once owned an AirKing issued by the Bahrein Oil Co . . .

. . . with the seal of the company on the dial, which was issued to an employee for five years of service. I wonder what they issue for ten years ;-) . . .

What a superb find!

Unfortunately there is not a real story behind the watch. Usually these watches are gifts for special services or exchange programs. I can only assume it is the same for this one. Again thanks for all the comments.

How cool is that!
