    The movement indicates a mid 1950’s watch eg 1954 as does the case and hands . I’ve never seen an OMwith a boxed logo on the face or that style oh OM buckle though.The case back seems to be stap on with no seal, so it could be an early “Century” model ?

    I would guess a local production Omega, where movements were shipped to various countries and local artisans and casemakers completed the watch.

    South America?

    To @Tungomega, can you see what this number is?

    The movement looks legit. The dial is a modern reproduction of a 1950’s style textured dial.

    The hallmark looks South American to me, but the attempt to replicate a Swiss responsibility mark has me concerned that it could be plated and not full gold. No way this case is Swiss, IMO.

    Have you had it tested for gold content?

    Was there any work done on the hands? In the first picture, it looks like there is a "central" line that runs down each hand... with the minute one being way off center. In the other picture where hands are shown, it looks brushed and different than in pic one.

    I don’t think so. The movement, case was original. The number 033 on case was eXactly, I think the dial is made from an omega artist, it's different and almost unique. Do you think like me?? @gatorcpa

    It looks like a non omega case. With hallmarks that make no sense. Which is worrisome as it might not be real gold.

    The dial and hands where not made by omega.

    Only the movement and crown appear to be from an Omega factory.

    Omega cases are always marked on the inside.

    Agree with Gator here, sorry @Tungomega.

    That hammerhead stamp is for Swiss watches made outside of Geneva (as per the link in the quoted text), but Swiss watches require two hallmarks stamped on the outside of the case - usually these are on the lugs - which can't be found here. In addition as @Foo2rama says, Omega never put their markings on the outside of the caseback.

    So can you tell me your own judgment about the case, dial, or the model of this watch? @ConElPueblo

    I’d wager money he agrees with me. And he has better knowledge of these then me.

    There really isn't a whole lot to say, sorry. I agree with the other members that it seems to be some sort of local production/franken/possible fake.
