Vintage Omega Genève Wristwatch

This is a vintage Omega Genève wristwatch, likely dating from the mid-20th century, approximately the 1950s or 1960s. The watch features a white or cream-colored dial with a sub-seconds complication located at the 9 o'clock position, which is a distinctive layout often found in 'Bullseye' or military-style designs. The dial is printed with bold black Arabic numerals for local time and a secondary 24-hour outer track (13-24). It is signed with the Omega logo, 'OMEGA' brand name, 'GENÈVE' above the bottom center, and 'SWISS MADE' at the very bottom. The hands appear to be cathedral-style or heavy syringe hands with dark infill, though significant oxidation and loss of luminous material are present. The case is constructed of stainless steel or possibly chrome-plated base metal, showing significant wear, oxidation, and pitting around the bezel and lugs. The crown is oversized and fluted, suggesting a manual wind movement. The acrylic crystal is heavily scratched and shows yellowing. The dial itself has extensive patination, spotting, and discoloration, which collectors may refer to as a 'tropical' dial or simply heavy aging. There is visible rust or corrosion at the edges where the case meets the crystal and on the internal components reflected through the crystal. No strap is attached to the lugs.
