Never seen one like that. It's not just the bezel, it is the entire watch casing that is odd. The whole balance and proportion on that looks off -- the casing is way to slimline to work with a big pie-pan dial like that. Also very unusual for an Omega to have hands that don't come out to the point of touching the dial markings.

Just looks wrong to my eye. Omega has always done a superlative job on the visual weighting, proportion and balance of the look of their timepieces. This one misses the mark too much to seem genuine to me.

Don't have access to any resources that would tell me for sure whether that was a legit combination. But my gut feel is that that piece is a Frankenwatch.
