Don't think it is military. Dial most likely repainted. Most info will be found on the inside of the caseback and on the movement.

Actually, this appears to be a cal 26.5, not 30T2.

Serial number dates it to 1943,

Is the serial number one on inside the watch or from back cover ?

The movement serial is the one we usually look at. I would put it a bit earlier than 1943, personally. Maybe 1939/1940.

Nothing military here. Why do you think, it was issued ? Just a guess ? Hands look fine. Cool to find markings inside the case back ? Maybe time to read more about vintage omegas...... Watchmaker Marks inside the case back should be normal as service marks from the past. Dial repainted ? Not so sure....looks like an previous cleaning attempt with the wrong detergent and the paint has bled and expanded into the surrounding areas. Definitely need a close up for evaluation. Movement advice
? New girls and guys come here for advice and too often for valuation hopes. Therefore advice given by other newer members should be correct. These are 2 completely different movement classes. Can be important , because parts for older ones can be very hard to find. Rather small, but nice vintage Omega.

Thank You - was my mistake call it Military - some old Polish watchmaker told me that, also watch belong to wife of RAF pilot so that how I started research on it . I wish to just find out more about a watch - not price or value - not important to me now. More off curiosity - I don't think that dial was repainted - actually i found it in really wet environment so that maybe had something to do with that. Don't really know what to do with it - wish to give to someone who can make it good again.
But thank you all 😀

Looks like a CK 2082, here in a 1939 French catalog :

Two of mines (later production : 1943-44) say hallo :

I believe your dial is original.

Oh and I took one more photo bit better from the front where is more visible
There are some members here from Poland that may be able to reccomend a watchmaker that could try to get it back up and running. You may want to use the search tool and see if something comes up. As said before, parts are difficult to source for watches of this age, but if you just want it “running”, a competent watchmaker may be able to make that happen. It’s worth investigating.

Your old polish watchmaker can easily service that movement..... Give it a go locally.

It's working perfectly, does not run late - sorry don't know how to say it correctly 😉
I just don't get it to run anymore. I am scare that it will crush because some dirt inside - but I did wear it for a month until glass has broken off

Your thinking is sound. Even though it runs the oils are dried out inside, and if it was exposed to moisture there could be rust. Get it serviced by a reputable watchmaker, put a nice strap on it and enjoy!

Hello Marzena - i am based in Poland too and in the past I used one watchmaker to restore 2 old wristwatches in the past. Maybe I can help with some contact details. They did pretty good job on cleaning the watches and servicing the movement. You can DM me for more details if you wish. All the best.
