Hi
We love OMEGAS also!
Ok let's get back to your watch. The dial has been repainted. Your example looks to be an early one as most have the case ref stamped on the inside of the case back which should be 2292. They typically were made with a aluminum case and a steel case back. I can't remember off hand if it should have fix strap bars or not.
I hope this helps.
Good Hunting

Engravings a little "hand hewn"
