·The OP's watch appears to have curved lugs.
Yes, the original watch definitely has curved lugs.

·I thought so, too, from the original picture but I was thrown off by the similar watch.
Did the dial have a small second hand subdial below the hour and minute hand like the one Davidt posted above? It doesn't look like it from the photo, and it seems that curved lugs and central sweep seconds hand should narrow it down a bit, but to what references I don't know.
No subdial, just central hands. Very simple dial with only the words Omega, Geneve and Swiss Made.

·Any of these look familiar? What were the hour markers like, just baton or numerals? Were the hands just baton too?

·Is the last photo an example of what you mean by curved lugs? i.e. those match pretty closely?

·By the way, you might find some here that can help you narrow it down, though many of these are form the 50s: https://omegaforums.net/threads/the-old-genéve´s-lets-see-them.59067/
Finding the case reference (or something from the same era with lugs that are close to yours and a center sweep second hand) is probably the most important. Once you have that, keep an eye out for one with a "sunburst" dial and "dauphine" hands.

·The one on the right actually looks a lot like mine. Mine didn't have the crosshairs (although it's very possible the crystal was replaced at some point). It also didn't have the pie pan dial. Do you guys know a) what this model is, and b) did it come with a regular (not pie pan) dial?

·I'm very inexperienced, but if I had to guess, I'd think that's what you had, too. I think it's a 14702 (same as the one I posted and the one above, I think - someone correct me if I'm wrong). https://www.omegawatches.com/watch-omega-geneve-omega-ck-14702
But I can't find an example with the dial you describe. All of the dials I see with dauphine hands have the two-tone dial. All of the full sunburst dials I see have the thin pencil hands. Between that and not having the work "Automatic" on the dial, my gut tells me that your watch had the original dial replaced during service at some point.

·You need to treat the case and dial separately. Find an example of the case and from that we can deduce the reference number.
