My grandfather gave me this old omega and i'm trying to successfully identify which model is.
Also i found that the serial numbers are on the outside the case and not from the inside, could it be imported from usa(an uncle was from there).

it's a 750 gold watch..i thought it could be a 132.026? no photo on the inside i dont know how to remove the case without make any damage

I'm not aware of any Omega Factory cases with that info on the back in that era.

I wonder if there is a casemaker's mark inside.

While markings on the outside of the caseback are similar to the "highway gold" fakes seen in Europe, I don't think it's a fake case.
I suspect it's a locally produced case manufactured in Italy as that's where the OP is from.

What does the 246 means in vertical?

On a Swiss made case, a similar marking with a hammer head shape (and other shapes) instead of a rectangle would identify the maker of the case.
As the origin of this case is so far unknown, the mark could mean anything.
