Do you know what the meaning of the "1955" on the caseback? Because this is a 60`s case and movement.

Apart from the inscription what’s different about it compared to others you’ve seen?

Movement SN dates to 1971- so maybe a 16 yr birthday gift?

This is a common black redial. The lettering should be silver and gilt instead of white, and the crosshair should go past the hour markers. These redials are sold on eBay every week, and I would encourage everyone to do their research before purchasing.

Not a bad job - and if the price is OK ...... (my2cents)
If not: go Steinhart 😀

and you may find something here as well

Yes this watch supposedly produced in 60’s era, when i ask the seller about the caseback, It turns out he doesn't know why either, because the caseback has looked like that since he first bought it from the previous seller.

there’s no major difference if i compared it with another KM6292, but the omega letter on the automatic is kinda messy

I think it’s a very nice watch in good condition with an interesting technical dial. Quite unique. US market with 14k gold filled case typical for US market. Probably says gold filled on case maybe between lugs.
Personal engravings can add interest and my theory on this one is George H Jones M.D. was a post war boy wonder, born in 1955 and completed his MD degree in 1972 or 73 at age of 17-18, and this watch was a medical school grad gift. ( watches were often sold a year or 2 after their movement date)
Anyone have another theory?
