·definitly mid 50's. Probably a caliber 265. You should pop up the caseback in order to see the model number. It also looks like there's a ding on the subdial.

Thank you for your help, I have opened the watch, and the only thing I find is its caliber under the steering wheel, 30T2 in steel color I have read that it began to be manufactured in 1939.

·so I made mistake. It's possibly an earlier version. Any picture of inside the caseback?

·Top and bottom right side lugs look bent to fit an incorrect sized strap
dial most likely refinished and someone ham fisted the indexes off and possible bent the posts or poor print job or the posts are not correct for that dials (note how far in the 5 & 7 indexes are into the sub seconds dial.
if there is no information on the inside of the case back.
it’s an orphan movement in a custom made case

·Notched at 6:00 for possibly a previous refinish of the dial. Ham fister ignored the notch location and mis-printed the dial
One lug is also damaged on the back side and might want to get that area filled in

·Circa 1942. Dial was repainted. I see no maker's mark in the case, so it's hard to say much about that.

·Thank you all for your answers, I thought that maybe it was because of the antiquity the lack of information in the box... but I see that it doesn't matter the age, they already put that information many years ago. I will try to polish the box and change the plexi, since the watch doesn't tell me anything as it is.
Greetings and happy holidays to all!

··ΩF InvestiGatorThe case may be 18K gold, but is not an Omega case. During the 1930’s through the 1960’s, it was common practice for some countries to charge exorbitant customs duties on imported gold watches. Omega and other Swiss watch companies got around this by having watches cased locally. That’s what I think you have.
