General Information
It would look like production of this bottom bracket began at the same time as the Dura-Ace 7700 chainset, also showing on this database. This Dura-Ace model is different to the other Octalink designs due to it not being a self contained unit but having bearing cups and axle that can be disassembled. Both ball and roller bearings are used, and are user replaceable, along with the axle's bearing races, making this a cost effective design in the long term, compared to the above disposable models. The unit's axle is also different in colour to those of the other Octalinks which would suggest a lighter metal used- helping towards the unit's light weight. Seems a pity Shimano didn't filter the replaceable parts/disassembly technology down to the other models, seeing as they're all- even Ultegra- heavy units, as well as (more importantly IMO) highly priced over the long term, in comparison.

Details:  Shimano always leads with Dura-Ace. In 1997, 9 speed was introduced. They kept with the shift cables coming out of the side of the STI levers and greatly improved the shift quality. Ultegra (600) and 105 followed suit. 9 speed uses the same freehub body size as 8 speed.
