Essay
The Omega Railmaster was created for professionals like scientists, technicians, and electricians who work in proximity to high-voltage electrical currents.
This Omega 'Railmaster' ST 135.004 was made in the mid-1960s for the Pakistani Air Force. It is thought that due to the British control over the railroads in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh at that time; the dial features 'Seamaster' instead of the original 'Railmaster' printing, as the Railmaster name carried negative connotations due to the colonial history.
