Yes, it's a genuine Omega, but it's had a very hard life and will take a lot of skill and a lot of money to restore it.

Is it though a rare one and worth renewing?, or just a common one...

The movement is real, but I'm not sure about the rest. Has a chronograph dial been fitted?

Not real. Pocket watch movement and generic case. Dial is rotated without dial feet. Crown is at 12 originally. Small second at 6 , now at 9. The other counter is blind without any function . Often just sporting a painted on Aeroplane....

I put it only as a curiosity, his twin brother, i guess an older one, so perhaps there was a small manufacture of it`s kind 😁
