OF experts-

Can you help me with the following Constellation?

1- Are the serifs incorrect? I understand it’s sometimes harder to decipher on a hobnail dial.
2- T-Swiss-T leads me to believe this watch should have had Tritium on the dial and on the hands.
3- I assume the hands are replacement an so it the minute hand.

Thank you for your help and knowledge.

It’s a redial indeed, pretty bad one. Many things wrong - and also look at the minute marks which bare all over the place.

The textured part is waffle (not hobnail).

I agree, a pretty bad redial.

I disagree, the dial is hobnail texture or "Clous de Paris".

This is a waffle dial:

I don’t know if there is any official naming, so I personally consider this:

Hobnail / clous de paris

It's always a bit special to land a hobnail dialled Omega and especially so a Constellation, so I thought I'd make a short post about my new arrival.

There are a couple of easy tells for this watch @1972Steve.

Yes, the letters are the wrong shape but that could be the textured dial.

However, the ‘re’ spelling of chronometer which was phased out in the late 50s plus the T SWISS T which didn’t arrive on Constellations until around 1963 is the big giveaway.
