This specific model is known as "Iraqi", as it was part of the equipment for fighter airplane pilots in Saddam Hussein's army, during the Iraq-Iran conflict. (1980-1988)
Historical fact linked to this particular model: it is from 1991, during the Gulf War. After the first aerial attacks from the coalition in Iraqi territories, a press conference was called in a Teheran hotel, during which an excited spokesperson distributed, from a burlap sack, about 130 Natitimer 3300 to the journalists in the room, announcing that they had been taken from Iraqi pilots. The pilots preferred surrendering rather than losing their precious airplanes in a conflict against the coalition (source: Military Timepieces - Wezolowsky)
