    I'm not sure what to make of this... did Omega ever make anything like this?

    I believe they call that configuration a Californian dial and AFAIK no Omega never did. Its not unappealing but likely not remotely original. Note the T marks? Those weren't used until about 1963, that is a 1950s fat lug case and clover crown.

    It's a silly redial. However, some companies did make such dials, notably the Rolex "California" model.

    No, but Rolex did.

    It’s sometimes called the “California” dial.

    The Omega shown is a poor redial and is probably not worth pursuing.

    I would make haste too, but forget the runaway:

    They became popular in Southern California specifically LA in the 50’s through 60’s.

    It's an interesting watch even though it's a redial. I've always liked California dials on military style watches.
