Upon taking another look at your picture,
can you enlighten us as to the symbols marking the subdial?
I'm in the dark about the symbols; they might be Arabic numerals . . .
. . . but doubtful. I'll check with someone who knows the Arabic language.
There is a watch with similar indexes in the book…
… of Longines by John Goldberger described as made for the Ottoman Empire market.
Here a few shots from said book:
“…stylized Islamic numerals”
I like the way the script looks.
Very nice of you to look into it for us.

Happy Father´s Day RabidManatee. Beautiful Omega with a great provenance. I wish you´ll keep enjoying and loving it so much and remembering your Grandpa each time you wear it.
Thank you for sharing!
Best cordial regards, Abel

Thank you so much.
Not only do I remember my Grandfather when I wear it, but I also remember the sacrifices he made as an immigrant and the hard work he put in as a small business owner, starting from scratch, to make a better life for himself and his family.
You are welcome RM! It´s very important what you tell me here. We should never forget what our ancestors have done for making a better life for them and for their descendants. I´m also a descendant...
... of inmigrants who arrived to my Country at beginnings of XX Century from Europe and know well about their sacrifices.
Thank you so much for sharing and keep enjoying that heirloom watch so much. Best cordial regards, Abel
