I just bought this morning, an Omega Constellation from 1958 with a patina dial featuring a crosshair and arrowhead hour markers. With my limited experience, I'd appreciate any advice on how to verify the authenticity of this dial. I would greatly appreciate any input.

Thank you and have a great day!

Dial is certainly original, I call these a flat dome. Also seen on other references such as 2652.

Here's one of mine, also a 2852, with arabics.

You have a nice 2852 @Nhan Huynh - congratulations.

(But I’m concerned that you would liken @cristos71 ’s infinitely more attractive Constellation to the rather clunky design of an Explorer 🤯)

Second hands are different, one is Omega original, one is generic.

Good spot....I still need to do that 'pin-hole' write up!

Thank you for verifying and complimenting me.
Btw I also really wish I had the chance to have an Arabic style like @cristos71 🙏🏻

Have a nice day!

Oh, I've noticed the difference in the hole on the seconds hands, thanks for your help!

When you get it serviced, please don’t bring it to the same guy. Fingers on the dial always give me goosebumps 😂
