    I have a centenary dial for an omega "bumper" chronometer caliber 333 that is not marked swiss or swiss made. All the examples I have been able to find on line are all marked swiss. This dial is in fine condition. My 40 years of carefully inspecting dials leads me to believe this dial is original. Did omega make dials not marked swiss?
    Worried,

    If you want any useful input please post large, clear photos of the front and back of the dial.

    And a hello might be nice too.

    How many threads are you going to start without providing photos? You're not going to get any help unless you make an effort.

    Interesting profession: dial inspector. Is this a unappreciated adjunct to regular watchmaking?

    The presence or lack of SWISS or SWISS MADE has no bearing on whether or not a dial is original prior to 1950ish. You would have to post pics of the dial in question.

    Trick is to never play that game with the owner of the two Centenaries above, as when he shows me his I'm always left feeling rather inadequate by comparison

    The hands are. But it doesn't say "Swiss" either.
