Hi
Did Omega ever print a dial with ‘Automatic’ as ‘automatic’?
I’ve got this watch and it looks correct but I have never seen one with a small ‘a’, so I worry it isn’t right.
It dates to 1966 and is a calibre 562.
Thanks

They did use lower case "automatic" on some models, but not very many and not this model.
The dial has been repainted IMO.

The hour and minute hands are also incorrect replacements.

Thanks everyone.
Can someone provide information on these hallmarks, as they are not clear to me. Again, these are on the inside of the caseback of the watch I am asking about. The serial number of the 562 movement dates to 1966.
Thanks

Are you buying this watch for the gold content? Yellow gold case with pink hands and a yellow second hand. Refinished dial. Dirty movement.

Hi
It is my watch. I wanted to find out a little more about it as I had a few questions.
