To start; there are a few things wrong with the watch, a missing logo, and incorrect hands. Plus, I think it is a repainted dial, but I cannot be sure of that (look at the inconsistency between the 3, 9, 12, and 6 markers). Also, movement serial tracks to ~1941, not 43?

I think the movement is a 30T2 or so? This thread has some discussion on it: https://omegaforums.net/threads/when-has-omega-started-using-3-digit-caliber-numbers.110708/ , and other than the plating, looks identical to the ones being discussed there (and now that I look, it is the 30T2 on the mainplate). See here: https://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-30t2.80413/

There are variants of course for different shock settings/jewel counts/etc.

As far as value: That one looks to be worth ~ parts, so maybe a few hundred dollars.

Interestingly, in my search, I found this one that, despite the listing, is only a few hundred movements away (also a 1941): https://www.ebay.com/itm/386992855490?chn=ps&google_free_listing_action=view_item&gQT=2

I have some concerns with the movement and caseback on that one (its a dirty/somewhat rusted movement, and a bent caseback), but that is what that dial is supposed to look like.
