Yes, the famous Patent Pending cal. 215. The first version of the 215

Are those 'two tones' writing common? Looks like a 5508 dial ...

Good question! It looks legit but a better close up picture is needed to confirm. It almost looks like someone tampered with it. The horizontal line on the Ts is sloppy, and the M looks really thick although the font looks correct.

I did not notice the 'two tone' at first and I must admit that I've never seen another. When you refer to @Severin excellent post https://omegaforums.net/threads/pol...-a-brief-survey-with-some-observations.35888/ this watch has all the hallmarks of the correct dial.

To be fair... Even if it is a redial... This dial is soooo cooool !!

I would prefer an original crown to an original crystal!
Crown aside, is the rest legit? Never seen this type of dial before...

I've seen a few other like that. Although I'm color blind, the blue fits and the style fits well with the later Compax versions. https://omegaforums.net/threads/thin-vs-thick-needles-of-the-later-compax.10805/ That's if it's actually blue 馃槈.
Yes I thought the blue / silver had hints of that "exotic" compax style (which I only know a tiny bit more about...). Thank you @Jonatan ! Always amazed by the expertise on this forum. 馃憤

It's very attractive and also expensive.
