I did not found much information about this style of dial in this watch that without “seamaster” or “constellation”.
(also cannot find another ref.2735 with cal420 , using this same dial’s configuration)
However, thank you “cristos71” for sharing me this picture from Italian catalog in year 1956 that use same dial style with my watch (ref.2741)

My omega was ref. 2735, cal.420, serial number 15,30x,xxx (production year 1956), diameter 33.5mm

In my opinion:
Dial: Original interesting dial with circular ring dial (not exactly know how to call it?)
with patina and some imperfect spot on dial.
Minute marker: Original omission mark with uncommon hour markers.
Hands: correct hands and second (in my opinion but not sure — should the second hand longer than minute hand?)
Caseback: original
Crown: not sure (but probably later replacement)
Crystal: not original

About ref.2735, From my own search, https://www.omegawatches.com/watch-omega-other-omega-ck-2735 . In this picture only minute hands going longer than the minute track. (But second hand no longer than minute track?)

This another one from “sliceofftime_” look the same marker style with me. His watch use the same cal420, same ref2735 but different in crown, also different in dial’s style)

What’s your opinion about this exact configuration?
Thank you for your help and kindness,

My opinion is that it is all correct and a fairly decent example of the kind of 'fancy' dials that Omega was producing in the early/mid 50's. Such a shame about the central dial section damage.

Original in every regard. Congratulations, Teerapat!

Incidentally, my '53 ref 2667 with the same movement . . .



. . . is the best performer in my collection, with a deviation of about a second per week.

Looks like oil damage. I have seen this before where a non-professional has either sprayed WD-40 on the movement or liberally squirted oil on it . The oil then leaks out when the watch is turned upside down 🤦

Couple of bottles of red wine with Italian tonight.

But that’s a monkey in that picture and it won’t stop looking at me......

Looks all original to me, i loved these simpler and 'cleaner' dial designs, this one is pretty uncommon. Stunning piece.
Thank you
