Thanks Dan...glad to have found this forum. I was wondering if this watch with this particular Arabic dial was produced in mass or just special order. I have only found a few on the net like this one. Thanks.

Welcome to the forum. What did you want to know? Here is the OVD page for the reference if that helps:

I would say the dial is uncommon. In my searches, the design does come up regularly for "dofasco" watches, so perhaps it was the company's preferred styling. Here's another thread where you can find some of those watches: https://omegaforums.net/threads/refinished-dial-on-a-geneve.58065/

Thanks for this..I did check that one out...wish mine was as pristine as that one. I did speak with Paul the owner...he was saying that just as you suggest, that it might be special to Dofasco.
Cheers

It's an unusual dial, the font especially. But I like it.

Dan..I was thinking that the dial font was something from a much older period...I actually thought that I had a watch from the 40's, till I did some research with the help of this forum..still, I would like to know the story behind the font...very interesting!
