It is probably a reference CK 1065. Here is a 1065 in a 1939 catalog :

It could also be a CK 1055 (I am not sure of the difference, it seems that on the 1055 the bezel is flat and thinner, wich would make it different from your watch...). Here is a 1055 in a 1940 catalog :

It should have a 37.5 Inside, extra flat caliber. The crown is probably a replacement since this model had a globe crown. The dial and hands look correct to me (btw the dial is in a exceptionnaly well preserved condition). They may differ from the pictures from the catalogs but Omega used to have different combinations so it doesn't mean that they are not original.

Hi,
I'm about to contact Otto Frei in Oakland regarding a replacement crown. I'm convinced mine was replaced. In your catalogue archives is there a side shot of the CK 1065 body? I've seen the flat sides of the CK 1055 in your catalogue image and on a 1055 on Christie's auction site. As you can see, my side is not squared and flat. I'd sure like to know before I order my crown.

Thanks in advance.
