Hello everyone,

I would like to ask for your opinion about this Omega watch.

Have you ever seen an Omega model like this before? The seller claims it is from around the early 1950s.

What makes me curious is that I cannot find another example with the exact same dial, case, and two-hand configuration. I have tried Google Image Search and other online resources, but I have not been able to find a matching reference.


Do you think this could be a genuine but rare Omega model, or is there a possibility that it has been modified (redial, replacement case, frankenwatch, etc.)?

Omega bumper movement in an unknown case. They don't belong together. Curious if you have a pic of inside the case back.

That’s exactly what’s making me curious as well.
I haven’t found another Omega bumper with the same dial and case combination. I’ve asked the seller for a photo of the inside of the case back and I’m waiting for a response.

Thanks for taking a look.

Missing seconds hand and I doubt those hands went with that dial to begin with - they have missing lume and there are no lume plots on the dial. Plus, that movement is in poor condition. As others have said, this is a parts bin special, and not a good one at that!
