A Jump in the Legend. The first published introduction of the 5218-203/A & 5218-202/A
The first Italian article about the Pre-Vendome 5218-202/A Marina Militare PVD & 5218-203/A Luminor Marina PVD
The article concludes that both watches have of immense personalities, extraordinarily robust and well build, and it mention the particular and secure protecting device once used by the navy.
The down side was that both watches were of important dimensions limiting wrist-wear ;-)
changed pics to full size from scaled

Would love to read the article but it's in Italian. Too bad babblefish can't read jpg's for translation! - AT
Back then, they only meant something to the Italian press.
Sorry for those who cannot read/translate Italian. Anthony he will soon get better ;-)
