路Wonderful departure from the usual 42mm Speedmasters.
Not all 321's are Speedmasters.....

路I am not sure about what reference this watch should be.
It has half of the dial as 2279, but subregisters are different - like newer models from the 1950s.
And it doesn't look redial, because these subregisters are sunken. So, can't have 2279 or 2451 as basis.
The case is 2279-4.
The hands are like 2907. Or not.
And the movement is from 1958.
馃榾
Love the movement!

Beautiful shot of the movement.
It does not look like a redial to me. It's got the early 'singer' type subdials with open 6s and 9s which are more quirky than the ones we're used to seeing on speedmasters and so on. But actually a lot details (tachymeter scale, omega signature, subdials) are identical to the very first watch posted on this thread.

路Even OP dial has uneveness at 180 mark. I am sure that quality wasn鈥檛 always that good back then, to say for sure that makes it a redial. But even if it is, it鈥檚 still good imo.

路The numerals in the subdial are darker than around the dial edge.
It looks like someone carefully retraced the 60, to me at least. (I could be mistaken.)

路Yeah that could be. But text styling is spot on still.

路Found one similar dial.
Old ebay ad: https://www.befr.ebay.be/itm/MONTRE...-27CH-321-REF-2279-4-1945-Watch-/222194102360
This could be the original dial, but you can't make those subdials to sunken.
Also, the small lines at 6 o'clock, 30, are not perfect.

路I think that鈥檚 an earlier dial (maybe late 40鈥檚 judging from the subdial typeface) that looks to be original to me.
Your dial is correct and suits the movement鈥檚 late 50鈥檚 serial number.
I apologize if I caused you worry. Mine was a very small quibble.
As I鈥檝e gathered, as to subdial fonts for these 321 Omegas
First generation, from beginning to around 1950
Second generation, early 50鈥檚
Third generation, late 50鈥檚 to around 1961 or 2
Fourth generation, from around 1962

路The 145.005-67
The 321 is a beautiful movement. I wonder if there are aftermarket clear case backs. It would be nice to occasionally see the 321 at work.
Does anyone know the end link number I need for this watch when using a 1503 or similar (1037, 1067, 8270) beads of rice bracelet? I have a 70 end link that doesn鈥檛 fit this thick case. The 70 fits the thinner watches such as Seamaster DeVille and and Constellation pie pan of the same era.
