Hi everyone! I just found it on ebay. After many days of searching but no results. All I know are:
- Movement: 26.5
- Dial: 30.5
- The dial was refurbished.
Here are some pictures for reference:
TIA!!!

Edit: I just want to know more about this watch: the name or ref, or does any patch of this watch has been replacement (handset, crown, ect, ...) because I couldn't find a similar this watch on the internet. I'm about to buy this watch (at a pretty high price tag) and I don't really have much knowledge about vintage omega watches. So I'm feeling rather nervous.

I believe back then it was just an Omega Gentlemen’s watch. No specific model like “Seamaster”, “ Constellation “ or anything like that. But open for correction.

As noted, this watch has no particular reference number or model name, if that's what you were asking. The watch is from the late 20s or early 30s.

No specific name but a reference : CK 816. A classical beauty, and one of my favorites among the 26.5 SOB line.
Here in a 1938 catalog :

Sorry for my unclear question. I just want to know more about this watch: the name or ref, or does any patch of this watch has been replacement (handset, crown, ect, ...) because I couldn't find a similar this watch on the internet. I'm about to buy this watch (at a pretty high price tag) and I don't really have much knowledge about vintage omega watches. So I'm feeling rather nervous.

You have mentioned a "high price tag" twice. As you know, from a collectible perspective, the repainted dial dramatically reduces the value. Also, while the watch is certainly a classic style, it is quite small IIRC, which also affects value. If you want opinions on the price, you will need to post the asking price.

It's asking 1,200 EUR

At 1,200 euro you could buy something very nice from a forum member that was in original condition. This one is the same price, for instance, and will be a more modern size:

https://omegaforums.net/threads/vin...2-beads-of-rice-bracelet-11-end-links.154336/

The one you posted will have a resale value of less then half that price. It looks nice for what it is, but I wouldn't pay a premium price for a redialed and polished watch with unknown mechanicals. I'm sure the seller says it has been serviced, but that can mean a lot of different things.

Tks for the advice!

I certainly would not pay that price, and if you decided to sell it later, you would not recoup anything close to that amount. In fact, given the condition, I doubt that I'd pay half that amount. That said, if you love the watch and don't mind the price, it is your choice. However, based on the position of the regulator, the movement is likely badly in need of a service, which will cost at least another few hundred.
