I have this beautiful vintage Omega watch, but I was only able to determine its approximate making date using the serial number: about 1938-1939. I couldn't find any other information on it. Please help, what model could it be, or what else can you tell me about it?
Thanks in advance! 😀

Dial may be original although badly damaged. Movement is beat up. Not sure about the case--reference/serial number is usually on the inside of the case back.

Dial looks original to me. The movement is a 23,4 SC. The case is not Swiss made.

I couldn't find these hallmarks either, but I saw they are not Swiss.
I think the dial style is much like this one, except for the sub second and the black part: https://www.vtgwatch.com/omega-14-k-solid-gold-26-5-sob-t-2-vintage-watch-1938-serviced.html
I tried to look up at the Omega web page, and I think the CK 2064 resembles mine very much, doesn't it? Except for the second hand.

As the case is not Swiss made, you cannot find an exact match with a reference number, though sometimes there could be close relations.

I did some research on the Internet, and came to a conclusion, that the upper hallmark (with the digit 4) is probably a Hungarian hallmark for 14 carat gold used between 1937-1966. So most probably there was the movement with the dial and hands made by Omega and exported, then they were cased in Hungary by a Hungarian watchmaker.
Thanks for the help!
