We are going to need information from you before anyone can help. A photo would be a start.

Then: roughly how old is it? There seem to be "Tridents" from several modern manufacturers, quartz and automatics, so is it that recent? Are there any markings on the case-back? Have you tried a photo search on any logo on the dial?

Thank you for ur reply, I will send a photo in a while. it is a 15 jewel manuel wind, with numbers 9231621 on the movement and 9831495 on the case back. Blue trident hour hand and blue minute hand,also has gold raised numbers

Serial number according to here: https://serial-number-decoder.com/omega/omega.htm is 1939. Though, those are potentially inaccurate. Other than that, I can't give much information.

Based on the photo, I suspect the dial might have been repainted at one point, and at least 1 of the hands doesn't seem to match, though I'm far from an expert on these. The minute track looks 'heavy handed' for an Omega watch, and the seconds track has some inconsistencies I wouldn't expect to see from an original dial.

Circa 1935-36 assuming the first digit is an "8." Interestingly, it has a US import code. I guess this is a cal 26.5 with missing regulator parts.

I have the part, going to send it to be repaired. The 1st number on the movement is a 9. It is a US import based on the OXG, just trying to get all the information on it. According to the case back last time it was worked on was 1996. Any help would be apprreciated being information on these models is very limited. Thank you

~1940 in that case.

I would put the date to about 1940/1941.
Omega also used the Neptune (trident) hands on the Marine Standard Ref CK3683.

My non-trident says hello, is the caseback like mine too?

I find it inspiring to see a Neptune model available in this case, so many variations!

It is all right, completely original...
