Nice looking button but there's something not quite right about it. Seems to be styled on a British Royal Marines Button, but with other wording replacing the words "ROYAL MARINES".

Note that the usual format is that the legend on our naval military buttons reads clockwise from the lower left, not from the top. For your button the legend would then read "OCEAN ATLANTIC" rather than "ATLANTIC OCEAN". The crown is in the style used from 1953 onwards, but it's a non-standard interpretation of the usual design.

I haven't seen a button like this and would guess that it's a civilian blazer button styled to look naval military.

So glad you were on the forums today - thank you kindly for your time to reply!
