Wow you even got the omega sign on the crystal on the photo. It looks nice and clean doesn’t look like a redial as far as the hands go someone else will verify.

The crown may be a service replacement.
From that era (early 60s) the crowns were the thinner scalloped ones.

Here is my 14704 with original crown. View attachment 924467

Dial and hands look original, and crown looks correct as well. 14704 is the only Omega reference that used the cal. 591, so that is also correct.
Cal. 591 was made in only about 60.000 pieces in 1959-1960, in two versions (17 and 20 jewels). You can read more about this particular caliber on the interweb.

It´s a nice watch, congratulations 😀

Below are pictures of a couple of 14704s I used to own:

Nice watch! I think you did well for your first vintage Omega. It's a replacement crown, but don't let that bother you. Crowns are commonly replaced, and in your humid climate, it probably helped preserve the watch. 👍
