Hi everyone.
I am sorry for lot of pictures that I attached.

I want to share another of my new incoming watch and the most important thing is to ask experts in this forums.
I cannot find this dial's style from my research (also in this forums).
So, can it be the legit watch? (I can accept the truth if it was only the franken watch.)

It was omega manual winding with serial number 13,841,xxx.
The uncommon dial pattern comes with uncommon hour-markers at 12,3,6,9 o'clock.

I think the crown (of my watch) could be incorrect.
(I ask @hoipolloi via PM. It should be bigger version as his watch.)

Also, I found that crown from @SW4323 (https://omegaforums.net/threads/omega-1951-2640-5sc-black.95059/)

Furthermore, I'm not sure about the hands as most of them (from internet) got luminous markers and luminous hands.

Finally, I'm not sure why the pic in this omega website (https://www.omegawatches.com/watch-omega-other-omega-ck-2640) show the word "seamaster". I found more pictures of the watches in that ref. but didn't have "seamaster".



Please share your opinion and thanks a lot for your kindness help.

The dial looks ok to me, definitely not a common dial variant though. There were many variants with different patterns and markers around the outside though, I think you and I had PM’d about some of them.

The crown should be more like mine below I believe. Hands I’m not sure, but the length is definitely suspicious and mine doesn’t have the facets.

Wow, super interesting dial, which definetely looks original IMO.

The crown, like mentioned before, does look off, as well as the seconds hand. Both in colour as specially in length it does not fit the dial, which has a much shorter seconds track.

Very interesting find though!

Also, Omega did manufacture many watches in the 50s which look identical, some of them carrying the word "Seamaster" and some without this inscription.

The fact your watch does not carry Seamaster does not make it less original.

The hour and minute hands do look ok to me, I gotta say though.

No, it is not a real book, you misunderstood my statement - "in my books..." is just a phrase...

Exciting dial! I have never seen this version before! And it sure looks genuine.
Is it made with Guilloché / engine turning technique?
Is it a "custom made" dial?

Here is my picture of another 2640. (2640-5). All steel.
