·Hello all omegaforums’ members.
I want to share another one in my collection, just received it today!!
It was Omega seamaster ref.2576-16 with the uncommon dial pattern.
From my research, someone called it as “textured dial” or “diamond dial” but I will name it as “rhombus dial”.
The serial number was 13,004,xxx (around 1951-52) and powered by caliber 342.
In my opinion,
- The dial was a white factory original with beautiful and very unique pattern
- The font of “OMEGA , AUTOMATIC and Seamaster” look legit and original
- The nonluminous hour-markers were original which I have never seen them before, but some expert mentioned that he has seen before but on a plain dial or another expert found in the constellation model. I've tried my best for searching in google, plus in this forums but I couldn't find any example.
- The minute-tracks were original with some of the hour-markers covered the minute-tracks (at 1,2,4,5,7,8,10 and 11 o’clock).
- The silver “dauphine hands” were original (not the facetted version). I found at least one example with the same type of hands, please note that this watch also come without luminous hands and hour-markers.

- The case and lug condition was acceptable with some scratches
- The crown maybe was not an original omega crown (I am not sure, please share your idea)
- The caseback was original too
From my research, I’ve never seen combination of these dial pattern and hour-markers together. Also, the first one of ref.2576 using this “rhombus dial”. Moreover, most of ref.2576 will come with luminous hands and markers. I noticed that the horizontal parallel straight lines in each rhombus are very difficult to capture, especially in the white dial.
More close-up photos:
By the way, I found these pattern from the collector in my country, however, I don’t know both of reference and caliber (one expert guess that it maybe the ref. 2638). Please note that the hour-markers are all uncommon shape and all of the minute-tracks stay outside of the hour-markers.
My ref.2715 with caliber 420 used the same dial pattern configuration.
Also, another watch from this forums (unknown ref. and caliber too).

Finally, my wrist shot:
Could you please provide your comments and please share yours with these markers or these dial pattern.
Thanks in advance for many experts that I asked via PM,
