Omega Country Code 33400
I recently purchased a used titanium blue face Omega Seamaster 2232.80.00 that came with the original boxes, instruction manual & the 3 cards: chronometer, pictograms, & international warranty. I was told the watch was purchased about 3 years ago as NOS. On the warranty card, the model & serial # were printed but the date spot was blank as was the dealer info box. Below the date box, anyone know which country code 33400 correlates to? I've tried searching but to no avail.I know 2011 refers to the US & 2025 refers to Canada.Also does anyone know when this particular model was discontinued?
