Summary
Often compared with the Omega Seamaster 'Great White' GMT version. There are subtle differences in the models. The 50th anniversay model version has an amazing nightime glow from the extensive areas of luminova applied to dial and hands.
Note there is also a solid gold 18k cased blue dial GMT version with rubber strap - ref 2634.80.93 which is very rare.
