Hi

I had in the past this vintage Omega with some rare (in my opinion 😀 ) lollipop hands and i was just wondering how can i know that the hands are 100% Omega and belong for that model of the watch..Also for this watch the case ref. do not help much.

Thank you.

These are called “pontife” hands and were used by Omega in the 1930’s and 1940’s. Since your watch dates to the early 1940’s, based on both the movement and case serial numbers, you are right in there.

That’s a nice clean look.
