·Hard to see anything on this photo, but those might be applied lume dots.

·That's an odd one.
Applied lume dots like in the OP isn't unheard of (there are some great ones on this forum, I believe @TexOmega has one?), but it should - naturally - be accompagnied by hands with flourescent material, not solid ones like on this one. As @Dimitris note there are some shadows around the markers. This could be residue from a prior dial clean.

·Thank you all for your informations, indeed i think it's radium lume, its a watch from 1958 (before 1963) when Omega stop the use of it. The watch is pretty clean to me, I can get it for 1350 euros that looks fair to me, I looked for arrowhead index with pie pan for a long time.

I do not see a serial number on the OP's watch, but if is in the 20,000 rated Especially Good Test Results, it would be valued a bit more.

·The watch was check in march this year, here some shots of elements
I'm not keen on the dial at all, I can't imagine bonding with, or learning to love or even live with, that patina. To me it is too uneven, bordering on damaged around some of the markers. I'd pass, raise the budget a bit and wait for a better specimen.

·There's some light fading of the minute indices between 3 and 4 and also between 6 and 7, so IMO the dial has already had some attention/cleaning

·I would wait for a better example, also the no-lume hands does not seem to be a good match for me.
My similar 2852 with other indexes, looks way better with the lume matchning the hands IMO 😀

·Yours is very clean indeed, the lume position is not a problem for me it's actually quite rare, I am more in trouble with the marks on dial, not so sure to purchase it at all i will contact my watchshop to see with them to see if it s possible to clean it
