Looks like a 1990s Carrera resissue CS3140. Not that unique surely. Looks a bit overpriced.

Never come across a Sultan of Oman model. That's why I was curious how unique this piece is.

What makes it a Sultan of Oman model other than the description? Looks like a normal CS3140 to me.

I think what it's saying is the Sultan of Oman wore such a watch (the original Heuer) back in the 60's, but yes the re-edition being sold looks like a typical TAG Heuer CS3140.

Yeah I think this is one that has a khanjar on the back? Think I have read about it before but otherwise its just a CS3140 with some engraving done.

I take back what I said, @PhillipDB is right. I found these references to the watch, the re-edition was apparently made for the Sultan of Oman circa 2000/2001.

This is what the case back looks like on the one I'm looking at. Apparently the Sultan had these commissioned and he gifted them to people.
Seems like quite a rare piece.
Thanks for the investigation Michael.

Sure, thanks for bringing up the topic, we learn something new everyday. From what I've been reading, the Sultan's watches could make for a good investment. 👍

So is it a piece unique or not? If he gifted them to people that suggests not..

It's not unique as in a 1 of 1, since the two links I provided are for two different watches. One apparently from 2000 the other from 2001. They have different wear on them as well, indicating they're not the same watch.

Hard to know the exact number made. I'd guess a fairly low number, perhaps no more than 10 or 20 maybe. 😕

These also have the Khanjar on the box and case, a greeting card from the Sultan was included too.

I doubt it's a 1 of 1 as Michael said.
I can't find any info on how many produced in total. The pics here are the example I'm looking at. Definitely different to Michael's find.

Pretty cool!

Agree, I like them. Lived in Oman for 3 years so would be a cool piece to have (at the right price).

Olympic rings on a Formula 1 are rare for sure. But an Olympic torch?

Came across this piece on FB. I know about the Gold Monaco CW5140, and remember this to be an exclusive or heavily aimed at the Italian market (remember reading it in calibre11). But now it seems that this was also a Russia LE of 50 pieces. That just ups the ante doesn't it!!!
