Help Identifying My Grandfather's Watch

[damatthews]

Looking for some help identifying my Grandfather's vintage Omega. I was gifted it years ago shortly after he passed away, but don't know much about its origin. I believe he bought it either in Europe during WWII or shortly after he got back to the US in the mid-1940's. As you'll note, the minute hand has become detached and I'd like to get it repaired, but want to learn more about it first. Some interesting notes: (i) no "SWISS" or "SWISS MADE" on the dial (ii) unique crown, assume after-market (iii) no inscriptions on the back. Any information or insight would be much appreciated, thanks!!

Crown has a Longines logo on it.

Dial does not look to be original.

Unworn caseback.

no minute hand

longines crown

dial furniture encroaches into the subdial

obvious redial.

I’m very curious what the movement and inner caseback look like.

Thanks! I am curious to see that as well. Will update when I bring it to a jeweler.

If you can get clear pictures of the movement and caseback inner that would help ID.
