Hi folks , im really keen on getting this 560 for my collection. Just wonder if these hands are original and correctly come with the hours marker.my thought is the minute hand is a bit short and they should come without the luminate and should match up with whatever on the hour marker.
Please help

The dial on that watch is beautiful and very unusual. Since it is a cal. 560, that means it was made specifically for the U.S. market. The U.S. importer, Norman Morris, Inc. was known to not necessarily follow the Omega design playbook for some watches. It is possible that those hands are original. The only way to know is to find other watches with that same configuration (gold tuxedo stripe dial, case metal and onyx or painted markers) and compare hands.

I recently picked up a Kleerback, and had similar questions about the hands.



The only thing I can tell you is that the hands are the correct shape. Many companies made hands to fit Omega watches and not all were exactly the same.

Hope this helps,

Gorgeous dial!

There's another one on Chrono24 with the same dial and hands, so I think those are fine.

I believe OPs watch should have solid un-lumed hands or hands filled with black paint.
