I can't accurately date this little booklet, but I place it in the early to mid 70's. I have a number of reasons for saying this.
I host a similar booklet which I guess to be from 1966. Use this link to see the 1966 version.
It makes NO reference to any chronograph models or features - These are clearly refered to in the 1972 version, of mine, that Chuck Maddox hosts.

I believe this version of the booklet was issued for NON-Chronograph watches.

Since the booklet covers "all bases" by mentioning, manual watches, automatic watches, f300 watches, Watches with dates, watches with day & date, waterproof watches & dive watches. I assume would have been issue with most non-chronograph watches that Omega sold in early 70's.
Page 5 makes a reference to the push/pull quick setting for dates, as found in the 565 movement used for the Seamaster 300 & other models.
However, as stated above, the ONLY watch type it explicitly mentions are the f300 models.

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 !
