The serial number list I referred to indicates circa 1933-34. The case is base metal alloy, possibly nickel silver. In my opinion, it is original to the watch. The case shows what I would call Art Deco influences, but there may be other opinions on that. The mechanism is standard Omega, possibly a #17, or # 18. Depending on the diameter of the movement. I have heard the style of hands called cathedral, and they appear to be original to the watch. The movement appears to have 15-jewels, a bi-metallic (temperature compensating) balance wheel, and blued steel Breguet (over coil) hairspring. The dial is metal, and it appears to me to have been anodized. It is typical of such dials to show patina. The movement is not high grade, but a good quality, average movement for the era.

So, you are planning on servicing it yourself? You’d better take a close look at your tool set up, work environment, and skill set before you embark on servicing the Omega. It is better to learn on stuff that doesn’t matter, rather than to practice on a watch you have plans for.

Not much more to add than what @Canuck has said. The movement is a caliber 37.6 L15P which was introduced in 1928.
