    Hi
    Did anyone see such a dial before?
    What can sign mean?
    Is it a Maserati or Masonic ?

    Never seen that dial but I'm sure the experts will chime in, it's a beauty though

    I think the trident is the best guess. I tried searching based on these images and no go.

    Called a clou de paris dial. Not sure if original, or original with new furniture or fake or real.

    no luck with google either. love to see the inner caseback.

    Neptune's Trident.

    Never seen it on a dial but I'd say its original.

    I've never seen an Omega dial with markers like that before. The trident is supposed to designate a water-resistant watch.

    The snap-back bumper cases were generally not water-resistant, so that theory does not fit.

    I have seen some very strange dials that were original from the late 1940's to early 1950's period when this watch was likely made.

    Also could be custom made markers for a customer by Omega or private jeweler.

    Nope, but they could be original as others have said. They quality looks pretty good and they are neatly installed.
