During the mid 1980's Omega used the services of renowned case maker Charles René Spillman (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.
