If you have confirmed with Omega that the serial number matches this model, what is your question?
Omega once used serial numbers more or less in order. However, determining the date of production was always an approximation.
Since 1995, Omega has used numerous sequences of serial numbers simultaneously, making determining the date of production more difficult than simply looking at a table.
However, 80 million numbers have been used for chronometer movements and are somewhat consistent with a date of 2002.
