Does anyone know what this vintage Omega is?

The watch in the image below appears on the Omega site, but no info is listed about it. I found this on the page where all the Omega NATO straps are listed.

It's a beautiful field-style watch - googling "Omega field watch" really didn't show anything similar to it. Interested to hear if anyone knows what it is!

That's a watch supplied to the British military (War Department) all items had a broad arrow mark somewhere on them. Not just watches, anything from pocket knives to clothing.

Thanks for the replies!

I was able to find a little more out by looking up "Omega RAF watch" too. What a beautiful watch!!
