The Potez 633 was manufactured for export only. Hellenic Air Force placed an order for 24 aircraft, of which 13 were received, but one of them was destroyed during delivery. Thus, the 12 remaining airplanes joined the 31st Bombardment Squadron in 1938. With the onset of World War II, the 12 remaining aircraft were withheld by the French. In early 1941, the Potez 633 was painted in the standard variant Dark Green / Light Earth / Light Blue. The roundels were painted on the fuselage and lower surfaces of the wings.
