counterfeit?

Not long ago, I was given my father's watch. I'd never paid much attention when he wore it. Now in looking at it, I notice it is labeled "Omega". However, in looking at the Omega website, I can find nothing like it.

The watch face is gold (gold tone anyway), has square dots for the numbers, has a date space in the 6 o'clock position, and across the face has a number of angular lines connecting the numbers. Also, in the upper portion of the watch face, from the 12 o'clock postion to the center, is a slightly darker golden circle containing the omega sign and the Omega name. At the bottom edge of the dial, in exceptionally small type, it has "Swiss Made"

Thoughts from the experts?

Thanks, Kim
