    I'm not sure if this counts as textured. I have seen it called a "wave" dial.

    Very nice linen texture dial and I really like the combination of styles on the Altus dial. Thanks for sharing.

    Found another in my files. This one belongs to a friend of almost four decades standing . . .

    DSCN0439.JPG

    . . . and was handed down from his Dad, who purchased it new in the early '50s. No movement or inner caseback images, but there's one of the back . . .

    DSCN0441.JPG

    . . . with an engraved number; not sure of its relevance, but my guess is it's connected with the precious metal content rather than Omega reference or serial numbers. Can't remember for sure, but to the best of my recollection, his folks were living in Spain when this watch was acquired. I'll ask him to refresh my memory.

    The provenance and continuity of ownership mitigate against the dial being refinished. I don't think I've ever seen inscribed circles quite like this on any Omega before. Perhaps someone here can shed light on this unusual configuration.

    For sure! Will be a couple of weeks as I planning for a small vacation and shipment from watchmaker will take some days.
    Movement running sweetly and the rest looks fine!
