007 special edition chronograph?

Hello all, I'm not usually to be found on this side, but I have an Omega related question. My colleague has recently got back from Bahrain and usually wears a Seamaster pro, but I noticed today him wearing a chrono with the 007 logo at the seven hour marker, and 007 on the clasp. I noticed that there doesn't appear to be one of those in the collection on the omega site, is it possible that he has an ersatz one or is it a special edition only available over that part of the world? I've only been able to find pictures of a similar watch on the web being sold in India, so just wondered if it was something for the market outside Europe? I'll be able to ask him more about it when I see him next week, but I'm just impatient!

I think fake. Cannot seem to find it online and cannot recall it either. Not 100% sure though.
Here are all the 007 editions: http://www.omegawatches.com/spirit/j...mited-editions

That's what raised my suspicions. If it is, it's a pretty good fake in passing, good solid looking clasp and bracelet. However there was something about the face that wasn't quite right in my eyes, maybe it was a bit of a toy that he bought for a giggle, I hope he went into that deal eyes wide open!

Oh yeah, that and the one I've seen on the web is for sale for 13500 rupees, around $220.

Saw someone in Hong Kong wearing something very similar recently.
