Pierre,
Your bass was made in 2003. The serial is a 2 digit year, an alphabetic OW for an Orion and a 5 digit number.

And looking at the picture here (http://club.alembicguitars.net/index.php?topic=8819), it looks like it has a Mahogany body with Purpleheart and Maple accents, and Epic/Orion electronics.  Very nice!
