Really good example. Well done!
The "NATO" strap looks realistic in colour and texture although the RAF issues, post-1960, did not have the steel runners and also the steel buckle was twin barbed/pinned. The pins were quite sharp to pierce the canvas strap, which had no spaced holes.
Your watch looks seriously dangerous to wear for long periods and needs to live in a lead-lined box! Also taking the movement out of the case needs caution in case you inhale fine particles of dust/luminous paint. Please take care. Ingested radium 226 will find its way into bone marrow and radiate alpha. Not nice and no cure!

It appears to have led a sheltered life; perhaps . . .
. . . it was assigned to a serviceman that never saw combat. At any rate, it's a tribute to both Omega and Thomas . . . a fabulous watch like that deserves to fall into the hands of a dedicated collector. Art
Wow!
What an absolute dream! Please tell us more about the strap. It's perfect for this watch.
