·It's an Illuminati special maybe?
After all, many Masonic Omega's, why not Illuminati

·Hi,
I think you've already posted this on facebook.
The lugs on the watch are distinctively found on bumper movements.
I'd like to see the dial & the outside of the caseback to get a better idea of what it is.
But, if you haven't already bought the watch, don't. The case is bad.

·Given the movement serial number which indicates a 1954 year of manufacture, what I can see of the lug shape, the small seconds subdial, the Breguet numerals on the dial and the type of crown, my guess would be a reference 2576 or something similar. 34mm case? .

··Vintage Omega AficionadoI'd be more concerned with the severe wear to the winding pendulum than to the lack of reference number.

·Given the severe corrosion to the case, a damaged case-back may have been replaced.

·But it still makes me wonder how come the caseback doesn't have any identifying numbers. Was it an original Omega replacement part?........

I took photos of the same watch again.

··Melbourne AustraliaThe case was not made by Omega.
The company contracted to provide these cases may have had a slip in quality control and one caseback missed the stamp.

·The case shows no signs of having a gasket. That could be a contributing factor concerning the rotor rubbing on the inner surface of the case back.
