Welcome. I hope some of the experts here will give you the answers you seek. In the meantime I would encourage you take a few more pictures of the watch. Preferably head on(straight) and closeups and focusing on the dial.

To my amateur eyes at least the lume on the hands seems to be relumed or dropped of completely. Afaik it should be radium lume.

Suverans have numerous different dial styles. You should post the photos of the case back, inside and outside.

I need help identifiying my family watch.

I've found another photo showing this model in a better condition. https://www.omega-watch-collection.com/album/omega-watches/omega-suveran-twotone-jpg/

It says its Omega Suveran on the website, but I'm yet to find another photo of this exact watch or another model of Suveran with round markers. Any clues of what it might actually be? Or is it just a counterfeit?

I'd glady appreciate any answers

Does it say anything on the caseback?

It's not counterfeit. And judging by your wrist shot and sub-dial, it may well be a jumbo reference.

Inner caseback and movement pics, please.

Here lies the problem xD

It was replaced and I'm scared to pry it open. I'll go to repair shop after new year.

This is likely an alternative reference mid 40s 30T2, such as the Omega 2317. I've owned a variety of these over the years with similar dials, and here the dial and hands all check out. It is not a suveran, but could be something like this:

This 2317 case is similar by the looks of it, as it the dial, the hands are not syringe but leaf hands, but this is okay. It measures 35mm across without the crown, and has a snap back caseback.

I'm not suggesting this IS your case reference, but it could be. By the placement of the sub dial, I am tempted to think that your example might be a smaller case, such as 33mm, but you can help us with this quite easily by taking a measurement.

If for example it is 34mm, it could very well be a Denison case like this one, which shares the same syringe hands:

That said the best way to identify a watch as the others have mentioned is by taking of the caseback and seeing if there are any case references inside.

Once you've found either of these two pieces of information we might be able to help further 😀

Looks like a 26.5 inside.

While crown and dials looks identical, it is 33mm at most (from what I can tell, I'll try to borrow something more accurate on monday) like the watch on top. Also the markers on the outer ring are dots which is not that common as I can tell (though my "knowledge" is based on searching photos on google images for about an hour).

Thank you all for the replies. I'll provide more info asap

The discovery is is all part of the fun. Could very well be a Dennison measuring 32.5mm / 33mm. I look forward to learning more.

Here's my one:

Here is the movement.
I have no idea why but my phone didn't save the photo of inner caseback. It turns out that it was a Dennison but for whatver reason I can't provide the evidence xD
With that information do you have any idea when it was produced?
