Is this a Medicus?

I just got this Omega. I believe it is a 1939-43 17.8 caliber. I can’t find any info on the ref number.

The dial looks good other than a few radium burns

Please help if you can

The sweep second looks a little short.....Are those hands original? Perhaps not. looks a littler bit like a Naiad/Medicus CK2064. Others will know more...I quite like it..

Not real sure, they seem to be original to me. I haven’t seen this style hand on any other I have googled.

That’s why I defaulted to the ref number but it seems omega changes their vintage search from when I last was collecting.

Hour and minute hands are perfectly original and nicely match the lume dots of the dial - I have seen these hands several times

The second hand is too short for sure as it has already been pointed out before

Seconds hand might have been clipped by an impatient watchmaker. Crown is almost certainly not original. Case seems over-polished.

These sorts of issues are worth sorting out on a collectible reference. For this one . . . possibly not.

Conservatively,

A Medicus would have a cal 23.4SC if I recall correctly.

Is this a Medicus?
