Anyone have any idea what case this dial would belong in? Maybe a 2577?
Perhaps I could source a correct case.
Thank you all very much for the analysis, appreciate you taking the time. Seems like the consensus is that it's an original dial and I'm excited, have been searching for one for some time. The case, however, is a problem. Seems that most think the dial did not come with the case originally. Anyone have any idea what case this dial would belong in? Maybe a 2577? Perhaps I could source a correct case.
I have several 2577's with Swiss and Swiss Made on the dials.
Then there may be some other parts of the watch not Swiss made. On the other hand, Swiss Made label indicates most if not all of the watch was made in Switzerland.
PS: It could be too early for this rule, if so I will take back my previous statement regarding the 2577 case, but my opinion of the OP's case still stands.
Would like opinions on whether the experts concur this is the same case. Second watch from the left. Thanks yet again.
I took a look at the catalog you referenced. All of the watches you show above are manual wind, which would have a slimmer profile than a bumper automatic.
There is a section in that catalog with just automatic watches, but none of the cases match your original post. All this means is your particular case was not made for the 1955 model year. With US made cases, it's almost impossible to tell what year they were made. The serial number on the movement would indicate a 1954 (or so) made movement, but it may not have been cased until several years later.
I'm not sure what you are trying to prove here. I see no reason to doubt the originality of the watch.
It is a 1950's US market Omega Automatic. Everything looks good to me, even the buckle.

I've had many questions concerning watches from this time period and have experienced dead ends even after heavy digging.
