I did some digging on EPSA, the company who made these cases for a multitude of manufacturers, (Omega not the least among them) and they had quite a few designations:

Beach, Dive, Marine, Rain, Scaphandre, Sea, and Stop. No luck finding any of the actual patents for some reason. 

I'm guessing this is a pretty interesting and possibly unique crystal, it has to accomodate the rotating inner bezel.

When I did my own digging I was also looking for the pattens, I’m wondering if they expired. Strangely no one is making this case anymore. Possibly is not a superior design for deep water diving
