·Sorry about your father - he left you a nice watch to remember him by.
We’ll need photos of the inside of the watch - the movement and the inside of the case back - to give much information. Photos of the back would help as well.
It should have a bumper automatic movement, perhaps a caliber 351. Case reference I’d guess to be 2577. Have a local watchmaker open it up to confirm.

·Hmm, how big is the case? Looks like a jumbo version, the 2494 😀
Odd dial, that "12" is usually not the only number on there.

The watch is at the jewelers (the auto wind teeth wore out and a parts need replacing) who is puzzled and is trying to find more information about it. I will stop by his shop, take photos, and post them. I’m sorry to say that I am ignorant about case sizes, but I’ll find out. It’s a stainless steel case is all I can tell you.

·When you take more photos, move the hands so they aren't obscuring the text.

·Here’s a brother with different typeface mirrored “12” and bronzed markers and hands. This case wears very well—- your father had good taste. I think when you clean up your crystal you’ll be happy.
This is a two tone dial like yours but it’s night time here and I can’t get a good shot.

·My concern is the seconds track and the (apparent) lack of "swiss made" at the bottom. I see this same type of seconds track on a large number of old redials, mostly on early bumpers.
Hey look - it's a reference 2494! 😀

··ΩF InvestiGatorFixed the title for you.
Here is information from Omega on Ref. 2494:

The dial looks to be in superb condition.

·Good call on the reference. I have also seen many original dials with this type of second track, and the beautiful art deco numeral looks original. Markers align perfectly with the printed track. And pointy A is OK for this era. What I dont like is the chopped tip of the minute hand, other than that I thinks its a nice example.
