had a subdial for seconds. It is probably legit. It probably uses the 30T2 calibre (or one of its derivatives, like a 284 or 285). These are considered on of the best manual wind calibres Omega ever produced.
I have seen a few fakes of these. The most common ones have either a non-functioning sub-seconds dial (as the put a sub-seconds dial on a regular central-seconds movement) or they have both a working central seconds hand AND a non-functioning sub-seconds hand! I have seen a very few fakes on E-bay that have an obviously non-Omega movement. Omega movements of this era were plated in Rose gold, so have a nice reddish patina. The fakes I g=have seen are all stainless.
Odds are, though, it is legit, and probably worth the price to try to get fixed up, if it is not aready working. I can't say more without pictures.
