This little booklet appears to be dated 1966. I have a number of reasons for saying this.
It refers to the 1968 Olympics games in the future (see the rear cover)
It refers ONLY to the Gemini space missions ( NOT Apollo & no mention of a man on the moon) - so it's definately pre-69
It makes NO reference to flightmaster or Chronostop models - These are clearly refered to in the 1972 version, of mine, that Chuck Maddox hosts. (These models were both released in 1969)
It explicitly mentions the Seamaster 300
I believe the code 866 printed on the rear cover dates it to August 1966 - I cannot prove this, though.
Since the booklet covers "all bases" by mentioning, manual watches, automatic watches, Watches with dates, waterproof watches, dive watches & chronographs, I assume would have been issued with most watches that Omega sold in 1966.
However, as stated above, the ONLY watch it explicitly mentions is the Seamaster 300.
I have reproduced all the pages here.

I don't think Omega will have a problem with me reproducing these pages on the internet. They are good enough quality that they can be used, but not so good that people can copy, print & sell them as originals.
I have written this page to share the limited knowledge & information I have. Please don't abuse me, my work or other peoples pictures. It's not a nice thing to do !
Finally, It pisses me off that I have to write a disclaimer like this !
