Footnote
Launched in 1997 the Dynamic series three range has one of the shortest production runs from Omega, having phased out prior to the year 2000. Released in two versions, the time-only and chronograph the series three was in stark contrast to the original Dynamic model and had a more visual resemblance to WWII military watches. This was possibly intentional as Omega had only taken over supplying the watch for James Bond in 1995, so it was very possible the Dynamic series 3 range was intended as a Bond watch, then production stopped when it was decided not to use it.
