: watchmaker has looked at this watch and says the dial appears

: contacted omega but have had no responce from a month ago.
In this era, Seamasters and Speedmasters sometimes shared the same case designs. This is one of those designs. The 176.001 is a Seamaster that is not particularly unusual, which was replaced with the 176.007.
Nice watch, not out of the ordinary based on my cursory glance.
