Google the numbers inside the case back ( can’t make it out from photos )

and here is a serial number range for year

Thank you for the fast reply
10729953 on the case back and 10772526 on the movement
Cant find a the 3 digit movement nr
Can’t find any thing

 

Makes sense, normally there is a reference number on the caseback. It this case you have the serial number of the case and the movement. This was often the case with Omegas from the 40s like yours. That's why you can't find this Watch. @mac_omega do you know this Ref?

 

Movement looks like a 30 T2 SC, which would be marked under the balance.

Serial number dates to ca 1946.

 

What is the diameter - my estimate is around 35-36 mm?

Then I might be able to search for the case style in my data base...

 

Yes You are right I just checked

 

36mm

 

What colour should the dial be originally?
I kinda like this dark brown patina
But wonder how it looked like before

 

The nearest I could find is ref 2321 which has a cal. 30 SC and a "bezel opening" of 33 mm which would match a 36 mm case

Here a photo of an old Omega sales catalogue (print not of great quality)



IMO this is the model

 

Yes pick is not that great but I think is one has a raised dial (like a rolex bubble back but on the dial)
Mine is flat

 

Oh and is the red second hand a normal thing for that period or is that after market?

if I’m going too diep just stop me

 

Most references had many different dials available.

 

Wow… That is a "database".

 

Thanks guys
